Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 534

"Do we need a signature from the seller? Why?"

Roseanne couldn't help but question the staff member in front of her.

The response came, "The asset is substantial, and while you have a formal transfer agreement, regulations also necessitate a consent form signed by the seller themselves."

Roseanne's grip on the documents tightened.

Meaning, Murray's signature was required.

"Mr. Sherwood, good morning."

As Murray stepped out of the elevator, his assistant was waiting at the door, greeting him with a smile.

"9 AM, a meeting with investors to discuss potential funding into Quinlan's Quality Foods and considerations for a long-term investment; 10 AM, a meeting with Mr. Whittaker from FinFlex to discuss a partnership; 11 AM, a departmental review. In the afternoon, as per your earlier plan, you have a golf game scheduled with Mr. Sanford from SynthSys. That's the agenda for today."

The assistant reported the schedule while walking beside him, timing his speech perfectly to end just as Murray was entering his office.

Murray paused, "Cancel the investors meeting. And tell Whittaker I'm only sparing him half an hour. If his proposal is as insincere as last time, there's no point in further discussions." "Got it."

Entering his office, Murray found his coffee already prepared on his desk.

Touching the cup, he found the temperature just right.
