Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 319

Chapter 319:

“How many projects has the Ferguson Group stolen from us?” a shareholder said furiously. “They’re our arch rivals. Do you really think they’d share anything with us?”

His words cast a heavy silence over the entire conference room.

Lydia spoke up, “I believe there’s a chance to mend our relationship with the Ferguson Group. They’re only edging out Apex Group for projects because Zola now leads Apex Group, and some instability has given them an opening to capitalize on. I’ve heard that the Ferguson Group will soon name a new general manager. From what I’ve gathered about Julio, he’s short on skilled people. This new manager will be someone he trusts, but they might not be all that capable. Given the former stature of Apex Group, this manager wouldn’t dare cross us.”

She implied that using their power to intimidate could be effective, painting the new manager as a minor player, hardly worth concern.

Her words somewhat reassured the shareholders, sparking a detailed discussion on how to negotiate with the Ferguson Group to share the Walsh Group’s project.

At the head of the table, Bryan listened with a faint, amused smile.

“Then it’s settled. In three days, once the Ferguson Group’s new general manager assumes their role, we will reach out to discuss the project,” Brandon said.

As the meeting ended, Bryan was the first to stand up and leave.

Raymond hurried after him, whispering, “Miss Curtis is back. Julio personally picked her up at the airport and arranged a villa for her to stay in. Bailee and Milford have moved in there too…”

“Got it,” Bryan replied, pausing by the window.

As he gazed out over the sprawling city, a sense of fullness began to seep into his once-empty heart.

The heart of summer had Onaland sweltering through slightly stifling nights.

Fresh off her plane, Eileen found sleep elusive due to jet lag and chose to pore over the Walsh Group’s project instead.

Julio had laid the groundwork with initial contacts, and with the Ferguson Group stealing the spotlight, the Walsh Group was leaning heavily toward forging a partnership with them—a decision nearly sealed.

Yet, Eileen remained cautious.

Downstairs, Bailee and Milford were still up, tending to the baby.

Their intermittent exclamations floated upstairs, prompting Eileen to rise and shut the door of the study. Back at her desk, a smile played on her lips.

Little two-month-old Gabriela, not yet versed in the art of speech or understanding words, seemed to be a source of amusement for Bailee and the others.

In three days, Eileen was slated to join the Ferguson Group, and Ruby had agreed to look after Gabriela at home for her.

Rylie, having purchased the villa next door, planned to assist with the baby during the day.

Josue was away on business and expected to return once his commitments were fulfilled.

Eileen’s life had settled back into its routine, and it was finally the day she would start her new job at Ferguson Group.

Her shoulder-length black hair was neatly tucked behind her ears, and she wore minimal makeup, though her lipstick was a bold, dark shade, echoing her new role as the general manager with an air of authority and command.
