She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1110

Chapter 1110 Insatiable Greed

This gentleman's name was Brendon Robertson, and he was a friend of Miles from Athegate. Although he appeared refined, he can be ruthless when necessary and shared the same values as Miles. If it weren't for his aversion to finance, Casper would have recruited him first.

"Brendon, don't tease me," Miles said with a serious expression. "If he had really succeeded, I wouldn't have come to Athegate."

Brendon put away his smile and said, "I remember Casper used to be mild-tempered. I didn't expect him to become so aggressive now. To be honest, all the rumors I've heard about him lately are negative - just like you were back in the day when you were reckless and didn't care about anything or anyone else. That's why Casper needs guidance from someone like you..."

My Casper...

Miles' heart felt as if it was soaked in bitter medicine; even his breaths tasted sour.

"That's why I don't like sending children abroad for education," Brendon continued without understanding Miles' feelings.

"I don't know what you and Libby were thinking at that time. Their ideas are different from ours; they teach their children to stand out too much."

"Brendon," Miles regained his senses and raised his glass to clink with Brendon's glass before saying, "There's something I want to ask of you..."

"Why are you still being polite? Just tell me." Brendon replied generously.

After nodding in agreement with Brendon's offer of help, Miles leaned over towards him and whispered something into his ear for quite some time. The more he spoke, the more confused Brendon became.

"Miles, are you sure?" He hesitated after hearing everything that had been said.

"Casper has an inflated ego right now, and even though I came here to ease my worries, it still feels like there's something bothering me deep down inside. I can't just ignore this feeling, because knowing how things usually go, I need someone who will look after things in case anything happens... Brendon, you run your own law firm. This matter needs your attention, and please keep everything confidential. If this ever gets out, I need to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Brendon understood what Miles' intentions were. He patted Miles' shoulder reassuringly before saying,

"Alright, this matter is entrusted upon me. I hope that one day, Casper will understand all the effort that went into your decision-making."

Miles forced himself into a smile. His Casper would definitely understand. He looked up only to see Casper mingling happily amongst guests. Miles' gaze grew darker than before...

Although Lauren had been in Athegate for almost five months, he wasn't very familiar with the surroundings. This wasn't because of a bad memory, but because most of his time was spent taking care of Eve at the hotel. When he went out looking for her, he couldn't find her until Eve gave him directions over the phone.

It was an ordinary late-night snack shop that Eve randomly picked out after being brought there by Nia. The storefront was small and sold various snacks. Eve ordered a bowl of sweet dumplings which was deliciously chewy.

When Lauren walked into the shop, his presence stood out from everyone else inside. As soon as Eve saw him, she waved to get Lauren's attention.

Lauren didn't fit in with this simple environment, let alone Nia and Kevin who were dressed in formal attire sitting on plastic stools. Nia's face became darker as some customers around them occasionally threw strange glances at them, which annoyed her greatly.
