Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 18

Whitney had picked out a blue suit for today, looking mature, professional, but with a unique flair that made her stand out

She checked herself in the mirror and pumped her fist, giving herself a little fighting gesture.

“For Grandma’s sake, I’ve got to give it my all and help Mr. Walton secure this contract, Whitney thought to herself.

The dinner was set at the Royal Crest Club.

Ivan Walton brought two of their lawyers with him–Whitney and Frank.

He knew Whitney had a sensitive stomach, so he made sure to bring someone who could really hold their liquor.

On the Harris Group’s side, besides Calvin, there were two from the investment department and a deputy director from finance. They were all key players in the company.

“Mr. Walton, I’ve heard a lot about you,” Calvin said, reaching out to shake Ivan’s hand. Then he sized up Whitney and Frank.

Ivan introduced them with confidence, “These are the two best lawyers on my team, Whitney and Frank.”

Whitney was nervous inside, but she kept her cool, “Hello, Mr. Malone. I’m Whitney Moore.”

Calvin nodded slightly. “You really are young and promising. Ms. Moore, you look like you’re barely in your early twenties. right?”

Whitney replied with poise, “Actually, Mr. Malone, I’m already 26.”

Ivan couldn’t help but show off the employee he was proud of. “Whitney got into the best law school with the top score and went straight into grad school. Even though she’s still a junior lawyer, she’ll be up for senior status next year.”

Not many people could be a senior lawyer by 26. That was pretty badass.

Calvin couldn’t help but give her another look.

Ivan and Calvin were leading the conversation, while Hubbard Hampton from Harris Group’s investment department called the waiter over with a friendly smile, “Everyone’s okay with drinking, right?”

He glanced at Whitney, grinning, “Ms. Moore, are you alright with having a drink?”

Ivan was about to explain that Whitney couldn’t drink much.

But before he could, Whitney spoke up confidently, “I’m not much of a drinker, but I’m really happy to meet you all tonight. Hope you won’t mind if I can’t keep up.”

“Whitney’s really going all out, Ivan couldn’t help but think.

Hubbard laughed, “Ms. Moore, you’re really straightforward. Doesn’t matter how much you drink, as long as we’re having

fun

Whitney couldn’t help but make a face in her mind, thinking, Guess I’ll be drinking a lot tonight

Frank shot Whitney a thumbs up under the table.

Whitney gave herself a bitter sinile, thinking. No choice. I just want to get ahead.
