Monica smiled as she lifted her cup. "Even if we haven't reached a consensus on collaboration, I really like you and approve of your abilities. I'd be honored to be your friend."
Angeline also lifted her cup. "It's my pleasure to be friends with you, Ms. Monica."
The two exchanged a smile and drank their coffee. Monica then stood up with a smile. "I should go back to the party now, lest my sisters catch me here. Oh, and… I'm sure that after you join Lawson Global, my sisters will come to talk to you about collaboration."
Angeline naturally understood. In the eyes of outsiders, Monica and Sean were on the same side, and Angeline seemed like Sean's competitor. Naturally, Sean's and Monica's enemies would want to work with Angeline.
"Since we're already friends, if you plan to work with my two sisters, remember to let me know." Monica smiled. "Let's have coffee another day."
"Sure." Angeline nodded.
When Monica came out of the lounge, she was startled to see Sean standing at the door. She tightened her grip on her handbag and wondered how much of her conversation with Angeline Sean had overheard.
Although what she said to Angeline earlier could be seen as inciting discord between Angeline and Sean, Monica remained composed and greeted Sean, "Mr. Lawson."
"Ms. Monica." Sean nodded.
As Monica walked past Sean toward the hall, a layer of sweat formed on her palms. When she looked back and saw Sean entering the lounge, she only hoped that Angeline wouldn't be swayed by family ties and would remain clear-headed.
When Angeline saw Sean come in and casually shut the door, her pair of clear and innocent eyes widened, showing a hint of innocence.
"W-Why did you come in here?" Feeling extremely uneasy, Angeline quickly got up and walked toward Sean. "What if someone sees us?"
