Chapter 107

Although it was only a small meeting, there were many things to be dealt with. The meeting lasted well past the end of working hours, after which everyone packed up their things and headed back. Only Mikayla and Maxius were left in the conference room.

Carlos and Mikayla's arrival, Winona and Jaxon also made their appearance. Winona held Jaxon's arm intimately, facing the cameras with a bright smile, while Jaxon showed off his handsome and elegant profile. Jaxon rarely appeared in the media since his wedding with Winona. And even when he was mentioned, it was in association with Mikayla's name, as Mikayla's ex-fiancé. The wedding he had planned didn't make a big splash in Xosa either. It was all eclipsed by Carlos' proposal. Jaxon planned to use the charity auction as an opportunity to return to the limelight.
