Chapter 72

Informal meetings were rarely ever my preference. I always preferred meetings pertaining to business to be held in a board room under proper and professional settings and protocols being followed. Especially first meetings which felt like it required a more legit opening to the set the rest of the pace of the relation.

But the meeting schedules in a hours time from now was any thing but proper. I didn’t even know about it until I had shown up at the office and Lucy had been reading my agenda for the day when 1 had discovered about this meeting. At first when she had mentioned the meeting being held out of offic I had assumed that it was going to be a virtual one which was not new to the company at all. It was quite common and efficient but I soon learnt that was not what she was speaking about

“Since when do I do meetings out of the office?” I questioned Lucy wondering how this one had been managed to be set up like so.

Lucy toyed with a ruffle on her sky blue blouse tucked in to a grey pencil skirt. She averted my gaze and kept scanning the agenda.

“Since this man would not take no for an answer. I raised a brow at her

response.

“Since when do we give in to bully’s?” I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at her.

“Since he comes with great potential.” My raised brow became a frown.

I leaned back in my chair. “And who is he?”

“Scott Vanderbilt. That name rang a bell instantly. The company, and you, have sparked his interest when he discovered that his old friend had died and his assets handed down to you. He has interest in investing.” She explained but I was still shocked by it all.

Scott Vanderbilt was the plastic manufacturing tycoon. He was super wealthy and was unimaginably sought after. His own company was well known for being built from the pits up and now he danced amongst the elite and parades his status for all to witness. Naturally, as most wealthy men, came a promiscuous reputation and his way with woman was no secret.

I had never met him before but he had made headlines in the business world and tabloids that it was nearly impossible for him to be missed. He even made the cover of the GQ magazine where they photographed his tall, Adonis built b*dy all oiled up and flexed for female viewing pleasure.

“Scott Vanderbilt.” His name rolled of my tongue with possibility. “This could be interesting.” I tapped my fingers against my chin considering all the ways him being an investor’s could benefit the company.

“He is yummy to look at and I feel it incumbent upon me to warn you that he is known to be quite the charmer.” Lucy eyed me suggestively and I scoffed.

“I’m not interested in being charmed. All I care about is him being a part of the company. It would be a great boost for us. I explained but I knew that Lucy was well aware of the benefit. She wouldn’t

“Just be careful with him. He has a way with women.” She warned again and I rolled my eyes.

“I am aware of the expertise he possess with women. The tabloids never fail to report it.” I said in a bored tone.
