Grant Corporation welcomed a 'VIP' early in the morning.
The man, dressed in a dark purple suit, walked to the conference room with a smile on his face.
I recognized him. He was someone who appeared at Matthew's banquet the night before, Chase Olson, the boss of Seaway Group.
Why was he here?
I followed him out of curiosity but instead of entering the conference room, I stood at the door.
“President Grant, long time no see."
"It's been a long time, President Olson."
Theo shook hands with him outside and after exchanging a few words of greetings, they entered the conference room.
Compared to his bad-mouthing Theo the day before, he was all smiling today. People were really two-faced.
Just when I was about to leave, I chanced upon Keith who was coming out of the conference room. I rushed to him and asked, "That person, do we have any partnership with him?"
Hearing my question, Keith glanced back and turned to me. "President Olson is the CEO of Seaway Group. He has no projects with Grant Corporation yet."
"Why come here if they have none?"
Hearing this, Keith shook his head. "I’m not too sure about this, I just know that President Grant invited President Olson here."
So Theo was the one who took the initiative to invite him over?
What was he doing this for?
Could it be that Theo was thinking of counterespionage?
Filled with doubts, I went back to my office, leaving my questions till the afternoon. For now, I had to do my work well.
Some individuals from the department came in with a plan. "Director Lane, this is the plan for a new project. Please take a look."
A new project?
"When did our department pick up a new project? Why don't I know of it?"
