Mrs. Sullivan smiled in satisfaction. "Alright, go on home now. I'll have the driver pick you up this weekend."
As Sienna walked out of the Sullivan estate's grand entrance, a triumphant smirk stretched across her face.
She hadn't expected such a massive victory today.
The Emerald Estate High Tea.
The apex of Capital City's high-society wives.
She knew exactly what it represented.
It was the ultimate VIP pass to a deeply exclusive circle, an absolute symbol of status.
The fact that Mrs. Sullivan was willing to bring her meant that, in the older woman's eyes, Sienna already had one foot permanently planted inside the Sullivan family.
Sienna was vibrating with excitement to tell her mother the good news.
...
Meanwhile, at The Langford Group's headquarters in Capital City.
Lucian sat behind his imposing desk while Christian Chase stood rigidly to the side, tablet in hand, delivering a precise report.
"I've spoken with Miles Montgomery at Evercore Capital. He explicitly said he is available to meet with Mrs. Langford at her earliest convenience."
Lucian offered a low "Mhm," seemingly satisfied with the outcome.
Christian continued, "Also, I ran a background check on Gideon Grant. He's the youngest of the Grant brothers, holds an MBA from Stanford, and joined Stellaris Capital right after returning to the States. He specializes in new energy and hard tech. He has a flawless reputation in the industry and absolutely no dirty laundry."
Lucian finally looked up, fixing his assistant with a cool stare.
"Did I tell you to look into him?"
Christian blinked. You didn't, he thought, but your tone and the murderous look in your eyes basically screamed for a full FBI workup.
But as a highly paid, survival-oriented professional, he kept that thought to himself.
"I simply felt it was necessary due diligence to vet any potential business partners," Christian replied without missing a beat.
Christian had finally figured it out.
His boss was a completely devoted husband. Anything involving his wife had to be handled with extreme, unyielding priority.
Lucian looked away, his tone flattening out. "Continue."
Christian exhaled quietly and moved down his list.
"One more thing. Sebastian Sullivan has been sniffing around a few new energy tech startups recently."
