Chapter 46: Holding Hands For The First Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hailey and her then-husband, Jordan, were the ones who had put forward the proposal of that project. However, Herman and his family took over the project because he had a higher status among the Camdens than Hailey.
Now that the president of Ace Corporation had repeatedly declined to meet Herman and his children, Hailey felt like giving it a try.
Elle gibed scornfully, “Mr. Steele refuses to meet any of us. Why would he agree to meet you? You’re taking yourself too seriously.”
Standing at the side, Sylvie spoke up for her daughter, “Let Hailey give it a shot. She was the one who came up with the idea of this project anyway.”
Old Mrs. Camden, whose name was Diana, thought about it and realized that there was no other solution at the moment. She could either go herself or let Hailey go on her behalf.
Diana said, “Alright, Hailey, make a trip to Ace Corporation. If it still doesn’t work out this time, I’ll go visit Mr. Steele myself! In short, we have to cooperate with Ace Corporation at all costs!”
…
Hailey arrived at the Ace Corporation’s office building at two o’clock in the afternoon.
She was dressed in a thin, white-colored sweater paired with a red checkered skirt and a Swarovski necklace. It was a pure, girl-next-door outfit.
“Miss Camden, please wait in the meeting room for a while. Mr. Steele is busy at the moment.”
Ashley brought Hailey to the meeting room and poured her a glass of water.
That was precisely what Hailey wanted because she didn’t like drinking complicated beverages. Her favorite drink was plain water with honey because, in her opinion, drinking water was the best way to maintain a good complexion and skin.
In the past three years, she would ask Jordan to make her a cup of honey water every single morning.
After getting divorced, Hailey had no choice but to do it herself. Whenever she made herself some honey water, it would remind her of Jordan.
Ashley went to the president’s office, where Jordan and Victoria were both in.
Ashley said, “Mr. Steele, Hailey Camden is here.”
Victoria waved her hand and asked Ashley to leave. When she saw the apparent changes in Jordan’s expression, Victoria asked, “Do you want to see her?”
Jordan said, “Herman, Elle, and Drew Camden came to negotiate the contract today, but I declined to meet all of them. If I turn Hailey down too, the Camdens will definitely think we are just making a fool out of them.”
“Since we have decided to cooperate with them, let’s give them the 11 million dollars as agreed. Victoria, bring the contract over here.”
Victoria handed the contract to Jordan, who then brought it with him to the meeting room.
Jordan saw Hailey as soon as he opened the door, and the moment he did, he felt as if it was a lifetime ago that they last met.
Jordan was very familiar with Hailey’s outfit today because it was her favorite outfit that she often wore at home too.
Jordan also liked how she looked when she wore that outfit because it made her seem very pure, just like the shy and innocent college student she was when they first met…
He had to admit that regardless of whether he hated her now or not, he was attracted to her looks and sense of fashion.
Her beauty was something that Elle could never compare to regardless of how many skin-tight dresses she wore.
However, Jordan wasn’t there to admire how beautiful his ex-wife was. Thus, he entered the room, closed the door, and then said to her, “You’re here.”
Hailey Camden nodded and said, “Yes. Mr. Steele must be very busy, isn’t he? I guess he won’t be able to meet me soon. You may sit down and have a chat with me.”
