Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 401

Summer was quietly on its way, with the midday sun scorching the cement ground and its heat sneaking into the nostrils.

Meanwhile, at the Landor Group.

Edward had arrived at the company early in the morning. Recently, he had been experiencing consecutive nights of insomnia, unable to wrap his head around certain matters. Finally, last night, he managed to organize his thoughts and was prepared to take action today.

Regardless of the outcome, he had to give it a try this time. Otherwise, it would remain an unknown variable.

A man walked through the entrance of the Landor Group. He wore sunglasses and a black short-sleeved shirt. He exuded: casual yet rebellious air. He looked handsome but not easy to get along with.

He strode up to the front desk and tapped the desktop a few times. “I’m here to see Edward.”

The receptionist looked up at the casually dressed man with an air of indifference. His impolite address for the boss made her think he was some hooligan. “I’m sorry, do you have an appointment? If not, I might not be able to announce your presence.”

“You’re doing your job really good, just like Trevon’s receptionist, he said.

She didn’t quite catch whether his words were a compliment or an insult, but since she didn’t understand, she didn’t dare to speculate. She couldn’t afford to take risks. If anything went wrong, she’d be held responsible.

Frank had initially planned to head upstairs, but it seemed Edward would have to come down himself. Edward’s office was not easily accessible.

Leaning lazily against the front desk. Frank rested one hand on it and tilted his body, taking out his phone and dialing Edward’s number. The call was quickly answered. The voice on the other end was still as gentle as ever, but it sounded particularly grating now.

Perhaps his sister had been bewitched by this sophisticated charm.

Frank didn’t give Edward a chance to speak and cut to the chase. “Mr. Landor, it’s not easy to go visit your office.”

Edward immediately understood, guessing that Frank was currently downstairs. Without any hesitation, he responded, “I’ll come down.”

Frank was quite satisfied with this response. Edward hadn’t said he would call the front desk. Instead, he implied that he would come down himself.

After hanging up the phone, Frank nonchalantly stood at the front desk, playing with his phone. He didn’t say another word to the receptionist.

Before long. Edward did indeed come down. He was dressed in a crisp and well-ironed silver-grey suit, wearing glasses that perched on his nose. Even from a distance, he exuded an air of refinement and dignity completely different from Frank’s aura. He walked purposefully toward Frank.

The two men were nearly the same height, with only a one-year age difference between them.

Edward adjusted his glasses and said courteously, “I apologize for the wait.”

It was worth pondering why Frank had come to see him so early in the morning. There was no doubt that it was something important. This was a rare event, like snowfall in the desert.

Before turning away. Edward took a moment to instruct the receptionist. “In the future, when Mr. Roberts comes to the company, he can take the dedicated elevator and doesn’t need to report.”
