Chapter 0022

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already the day for Chesire Group to sign the contract with Severn Group.

Standing before the Severn Group’s huge office building, Zoe gazed up in awe and exclaimed, “The Severn Group!”

The building had over 120 floors and stood over 400 meters tall, serving as a landmark in Ol‘ Mare. The owner of this grand structure, the Severn family, had risen in recent years and expanded its industries throughout the region. They had branches in many major cities nationwide, making them a renowned business giant in Ol‘ Mare, and even the entire province of Tormora.

In the presence of the Severn family, second–tier families like the Chesire family were like mere small fishes in a large pond with no basis for comparison.

Wearing elegant high heels, holding a leather briefcase, and swaying her slender figure gracefully, Zoe walked to the lobby’s service desk. She offered a charming smile to the receptionist and said, “Hello. I’m Zoe Chesire, Chesire Group’s assistant general manager. I’m here to see Mister Severn for the previously discussed collaboration project ready for signing.”

The service desk had a total of 12 receptionists, all equally beautiful. One of them glanced at Zoe and smiled professionally, asking, “Could you please show your appointment letter?”

An appointment letter?

Zoe was taken aback. After all, the project was already settled, and only the final step was left—the signing process. She was annoyed and wondered why Patrick did not inform her that she needed an appointment letter to meet Severn Group’s general manager, George Severn.

“I’ve said it already. I’m Zoe Chesire, the Chesire Group’s assistant general manager,” said Zoe, her tone growing colder. “We’ve discussed the project and are down to the final signing. Isn’t a verbal arrangement for the appointment enough? Do you understand the importance of this contract? It’s a major project worth more than seven hundred fifty million dollars! If the signing is delayed, can you afford the losses?”

Zoe then rudely ordered the receptionist, “Get Mister Severn on the line for me immediately!”

The receptionist maintained her smile and courtesy when she replied, “I
