“Ms. Garland.” Jasper Snyder was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black pants. It was hard for anyone to tell from his handsome face that he was already thirty-six years old. With a smile, he nodded at her. “It’s been a while.”

Upon noticing the clients by his side, Rayna said, “I’ll make a move first.”

“Oh, they’re not clients. They’re just my friends,” Jasper explained before asking, “I heard you joined Glory Corporation?”

“It’s a small company. I didn’t expect you to know it.”

A faint grin formed on his face. “It’s small, but you’re famous, Ms. Garland. If you aren’t busy, you’re free to join me. Now that you’re in Glory, you’ll have to attract investors in the future. It’s better to learn and gain experience whenever you can.”

Rayna was stunned before she informed, “I resigned from Faymon Group already, Mr. Snyder.”

“I know. I invite you because you’re Glory’s vice CEO, and I’m a businessman. It’s only normal for me to seize any profitable opportunities. Besides, I want to make more friends.”

His logic is certainly flawless. Wait, I just remembered something. Snyder Group dumped a huge investment on a movie not too long ago. Maybe I can work with his company. When her train of thought ended there, she smiled at him. “I hope you won’t find me silly, Mr. Snyder.”

“Not at all. You’re too humble, Ms. Garland. I hope you won’t find my proposal too awkward.”

As they spoke, they entered a luxurious, premium private room.

Then, she realized a few men were inside.

The men were chatting with each other when they noticed Jasper entering the room with Rayna. In response, they turned their lines of sight toward the two.

After Jasper exchanged pleasantries with the men, he introduced Rayna to them. “This is Rayna Garland. She used to work with Mr. Faymon, but she’s now the vice CEO of Glory.”

After that, he introduced them to her.
