Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel
Chapter 31
Suzanna’s smile froze at Gwendolyn’s question, but she quickly composed herself and smiled even more brightly.
She pulled Gwendolyn aside and whispered, “These directors are influential figures in Grandeur Group. One word from any of them would make or break our artists‘ casting opportunities in the drama. So try not to upset them, Ms. Shalders.”
Gwendolyn nodded expressionlessly in response.
They returned to the table after their whispering.
Tom, Harry, and Peter had not stopped staring at Gwendolyn since she entered the private room. Gwendolyn wanted to throw up under their lustful stares.
Tom was the first to speak up. “Ms. Shalders, you’re really as pretty as the rumors say. You’ve got a great figure too.”
“You’re too generous. The three of you are truly exceptional and successful,” replied Gwendolyn obligingly.
Suzanna quickly invited everyone to take their seats before toasting Gwendolyn, “This is your first business meeting since joining the company, Ms. Shalders. Please allow me to toast to a successful deal.”
As she spoke, she pushed a glass of red wine into Gwendolyn’s hand.
Gwendolyn swirled the liquor around the glass and sniffed the bouquet elegantly. “Hmm, a 1982 Château Lafite Rothschild. What an excellent wine.”
She smiled and clinked glasses with Suzanna before polishing off the wine in a single gulp.
Harry jumped in to flatter Gwendolyn, praising, “Ms. Shalders, I didn’t take you for a wine aficionado. You can hold your drinks well too. How utterly charming. I hope you’ll accept my toast as well.”
“Aren’t we discussing the casting for Grandeur Group’s drama project? Why haven’t any of you brought the subject up?” asked Gwendolyn.
Calmly, one of the directors replied, “Of course, we’ll get to it, but we should have a few glasses and relax before getting down to serious business. I’m sure you understand how this works, don’t you, Ms. Shalders?”
They smiled at Gwendolyn and raised their glasses at her.
Gwendolyn did not put off their requests and downed glass after glass of wine.
Meanwhile, Noah knocked on the door to the CEO’s office at Wright Construction Group.
He entered the room and politely handed a dossier on Gwendolyn’s background to Maverick.
