The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 155

Tallulah laughed. "Impossible. Winona doesn't know how to fence. Why would she come here?"

She linked her arm through Yulen's, her voice coaxing. "Come on, let's go meet Victor. I've revised the proposal twice now. I'm sure he'll be satisfied this time."

When she found out that the Locke family had given the project to Winona, she had been furious. She was the R&D director at Locke Group; why should an outsider like Winona be in charge of one of their projects? Besides, she was perfectly capable of landing this deal herself. She refused to believe she could lose to Winona.

Yulen nodded. "Alright. By the way, when is your brother getting here?"

Tallulah smiled. "He said he'll be here soon. Let's go find Victor first."

Though her brother, Zayden Shipley, was a good-for-nothing, he excelled at various sports, including fencing. Having him come and play a few rounds with Victor would be a good way to build rapport.

As Winona was about to head to the changing room, she spotted Mr. Sutton and Mr. Falconer, the CEOs of two pharmaceutical companies. She immediately guessed they were also here to see Powell Group's Victor.

Mr. Sutton and Mr. Falconer saw her and approached with friendly smiles. They had been deeply impressed by her during Mr. Harper's lecture after witnessing her exchange with the esteemed professor. When they later heard that Mr. Harper had taken her on as a student, their admiration for her only grew. If they had the chance, they would have loved to poach Winona for their own R&D teams.

"Are you here to see Victor?" Mr. Sutton asked. "Is Mr. Harper's lab also interested in the Powell Group project?"

Winona nodded but didn't mention she was there on behalf of Locke Group.

Seeing that they seemed uninterested in talking to her, Tallulah fumed inwardly. She shot a glare at Winona, convinced that Winona must have bad-mouthed her, which was why Mr. Falconer and Mr. Sutton were giving her the cold shoulder.

Winona had no time to worry about Tallulah's mood; she was focused on finding Victor.

Yulen emerged from the restroom and saw Winona at once. Recalling what Camille had told him a few days ago, he immediately guessed she was here for the collaborative project between Locke Group and Powell Group.

The fact that she was willing to work so hard for Locke Group could only mean one thing: she was still in love with him.

His mood instantly brightened. He walked up to Winona with a smile. "Winona, you're here. How about we have dinner together after this?"
