Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1180

So, she really did know the president? The receptionist couldn’t believe it. Even Aiden had treated her with so much respect. Who was this woman? Did I just offend her? She watched the group disappear into the elevator, her heart racing with nerves, not daring to say a word.

Audrey Williams didn’t spare a second thought for the awkward scene downstairs. She followed Aiden out of the elevator and was soon ushered into Walter Wilson’s office. As she walked in, she saw him at his desk, completely absorbed in a towering stack of paperwork. He wore a sharp suit, and even though he clearly had his hands full, his posture was as straight and refined as ever. His rimless glasses added to the scholarly, almost distant charm that radiated from him… and Audrey couldn’t help but feel pleased with her own taste. The man looked absolutely magnetic.

When the door opened, Walter glanced up, lifting his brows just a little. “Honestly, I thought you were messing with me. Didn’t expect you to actually show up.” He stood to greet her.

Audrey grinned and strolled over. “Why would I mess with you? I said I’d come, so here I am. I don’t joke around about this stuff.”

They sat down on the sofa, and the secretary brought in drinks right away. There was no time wasted on small talk, not when business was waiting. Walter got straight to the point. “So, what’s this business meeting about?”

At first, he’d assumed she was just talking big, but seeing her arrive with an assistant and a stack of documents changed his mind. The Wilson Group and NextGen Technologies had never worked together before. Audrey switched easily into business mode. “We’re looking to expand in Harrisburg. I wanted to see if you’d be interested, Mr. Wilson.”

Walter laughed, shaking his head. “Harrisburg’s market is locked up by the main families. Breaking in won’t be easy. What makes NextGen Technologies think you can pull it off?”

Audrey’s eyes sparkled with confidence. “You might be surprised. Sure, we haven’t set up shop here before, but we know what’s going on. The big families control the main businesses, everyone else just picks up what’s left. I’m sure you’ve heard of NextGen Technologies, Mr. Wilson. If we’re going to do business, we want to make it big. We’re not here for scraps.”

Walter’s curiosity was piqued. “So what are you proposing?”
