Chapter 35 The meeting

In Jack's spacious office, Claire sat across from him, her expression focused as she briefed him on the upcoming meeting with the

Harris company.

"Jack, I need you to take the lead in today's meeting with Harris," Claire stated, her tone serious yet composed.

Jack, the vice president of the company, listened attentively. "Sure, Claire. But why the sudden change? You're usually the one leading these meetings."

Claire hesitated, not wanting to reveal the personal reason behind her decision. "I have an urgent matter that requires my immediate attention," she replied vaguely, hoping Jack wouldn't press further.

Jack nodded understandingly. "I see. Don't worry, Claire, I've got it covered. Is there anything specific you want me to focus on during the meeting?"

"Hm...just listen to what Alexander Harris has to offer and ask him the reason for choosing Metacortex." Claire appreciated Jack's professionalism and willingness to step in.

"Okay, noted. I just wish you can be present at the meeting."

"I just wanted to make sure that the Harris is a worthy company to partner up with before I meet them myself. I just don't want to regret it."

"Okay, consider it done."

"Thank you, Jack. I really appreciate your help with this," Claire said sincerely.

Jack smiled reassuringly. "Anytime, Claire. We're a team, after all. Anyway, I heard about the charity you organize."

Claire raised her brows. "How did you know?"

"Well, I have my source and I accidentally overheard your conversation with your secretary."
