Obsession With Mr. Right novel Chapter 281

Valeria replied, "I'll get my own people to set up the trap.I saw Declan walking around with some bodyguards yesterday, so find someone to protect me while blending in with the crowd too."

Lamont smiled as he knew that Valeria had only thought of him as a bodyguard after reading her message.

"Alright!"

William turned to glance at Valeria a few times when he saw that she had been on her phone, "Who are you texting?"

"I'm asking a huge favour from Lamont to prepare for tomorrow's banquet" Valeria replied as she put her phone away.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything according to your plans" William comforted her.

"I know, but I can't stay a coward forever. I should strike back instead of always being on the defensive end, right?"

Valeria smiled at William, "I'm going to be an independent person so that I can stop relying on others.Once I can do that, you wouldn't have to worry about saving me when you're not around."

"Alright, do whatever you want.Even if your plans don't go your way, I got your back.William's words gave Valeria confidence.She would stop her schemes if they decided to let go of her tomorrow, but she would make sure they suffered the consequences if they still troubled her.Ronald's face was still extremely swollen when Valeria visited him after breakfast the next morning.Valeria entered the ward holding a bouquet of flowers that she had bought, "How are you feeling, dad?"

"Other than my painful hand and my blinded eye, I'm doing better" Ronald answered.

Ronald was in a better mood than yesterday, "How unfortunate, I'm afraid I won't be able to introduce our clients to you after all."

"Don't worry about it, we can meet those clients once you're recovered," Valeria comforted him.

"No, these are very important clients.We can't cancel the banquet tonight, it took me a long time to schedule it so that all of them could make it!"

It seemed like Ronald wouldn't be giving up on his plans at all, Valeria sneered secretly as she tried to maintain an innocent look.

"Oh no, what should we do then?"

"After thinking about it, I've decided to let you and Kyrie attend to our guests."

"Kyrie and I? I'm worried that we won't be able to do well, Valeria replied as she tried to look as nervous as she could.

"Don't worry, the other senior executives will be there as well.Please make sure that those guests are welcomed warmly, this banquet is to show our appreciation to them after all."

"What if I mess things up? I've never done anything like this before..."

"Don't worry too much about it.I've arranged for Kyrie and the other executives to help you out, all you have to do is to attend the event and make small talk with them.Seeing how unwilling Valeria was, he decided to advise her earnestly,

"You have to learn how to deal with this kind of events now that you' re learning how to run this company.Once you've finished this task, I’ ll arrange for you to take over the other matters too, you're the next head of Brownard Group, aren't you?"

"You're right.I should be brave and face my fears"

Valeria agreed humbly, "Will Ashely be there too?"

"Yes, she will.Valeria, I know you don't get along with Ashley, but please bear with it for me, alright? Ashley is only a normal executive, but you'll be the next head of the company!"

Valeria had prepared to get Ashley to the banquet by any means, but she was relieved to hear that Ashley had insisted on going to the banquet herself.

"Alright, I'll clear my schedule for you.A heads up though, it's not my fault if Ashley gets into any trouble."
