The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 316

Gabriel chuckled. "I'll discuss it with the higher-ups ASAP!"

Afterwards, he passed another brown paper bag he'd been holding. "By the way, you might want to take a look at this. It's the track record of other companies in agro-industrial processing. You'll see that there's a promising future in this business. Right now, supporting agriculture is a priority for the government. They're more than willing to give the green light to various projects, if you catch my drift."

She caught his drift.

How could she not?

If the higher-ups would be willing to nod in approval, everything would become easier.

But weather changes are unpredictable. one moment it's sunny and everyone is overjoyed, the next it's overcast.

Who would bear the responsibility when that happened?

"I'll take a good look at it. East Star Enterprises sees potential in this sector, hence our interest in joining the project." Dorothy said.

As their first meeting came to a close, Dorothy prepared to leave.

Gabriel suddenly spoke up. "Didn't you mention something about treating me to dinner?"

"Well…" Dorothy was at a loss for words, then quickly recovered. "Oh my, look at me! I was so eager to review the documents that I completely forgot. What do you feel like eating, Gabriel? It's on me. I can’t let you pay in Havenbrook City. I was just hoping to strengthen our working relationship, considering we'll be working together in the future."

"It's settled then; I'm paying. You can treat me next time!" After saying this, Dorothy dialed Natalia and Emmett, directing them to meet at the restaurant. "I'll introduce you to my two assistants as well."

"Sounds great!" Gabriel didn't object. "My boss might join us later. He's currently in a meeting but asked me to keep you here to meet him when he's free."

Dorothy didn't mind the crowd. In fact, she preferred it.

A chance to meet the head of Verity Holdings Limited was also a chance to gauge their intentions.

"That would be an honor!"

Just as Everett was about to speak, his phone screen lit up.

The next second, Everett cleared his throat, saying, "We'll wrap it up here for today. Meeting adjourned."

The shareholders exchanged surprised looks, but they couldn't object to the CEO.

After exiting the company meeting, Everett immediately picked up his phone and dialed back.

"Mr. Lopez, I've checked East Star Enterprises' ongoing projects. Besides the resort development in Everglow City, they also have several real estate…"

"Are there any projects in Havenbrook City?"

Everett cut him off.

Kevin paused for a second. "Let me check. Yes, they have an agro-industrial processing project in partnership with Verity Holdings Limited. But they haven't signed a contract yet, and the investment isn't that huge. It’s less than 50 million. Are you interested in this project?"
