Chapter 317 Every Second Counts
I saw something flash in Stella’s eyes, which confirmed they were related to what happened toKennedy.
Just then, I noticed Nick giving me a signal. I excused myself to greet him and approached with asmile. After a few pleasantries, Nick quietly informed me, “The car is waiting outside. I can only stallthem for forty minutes. You must leave Pleca Park within that time.”
I nodded and observed Stella before turning to head outside. However, Atticus and another manwalked
toward me with clear intentions to greet me.
I cursed my luck while he waved to me from a distance. I smiled and approached before saying, “Mr.
Atticus, did you just arrive?”
“Ms. Chloe, let me introduce you to my friend. This is Bryan Cohen, the CEO of Alliance Corporation.”
Atticus,then smiled at his friend, “Bryan, this is Ms. Chloe Hartz, the owner of Tanum Corporation.novelbin
Bryan extended his hand to me, and I politely shook it. He looked like a dashing young man, about the
same age as Atticus. However, the former appeared more mature. T
Atticus was astute with deep and mysterious eyes. On the other hand, Bryan had an air of maturity and
trustworthiness.
Atticus went straight to the point, “Mr. Bryan currently has a big project on hand. I thought I’d connectyour two, and you can discuss the details with him directly later.”
I appreciated his straightforwardness. He was indeed a decisive and efficient businessman.
“Thank you, Mr. Atticus.” I smiled genuinely.
However, my heart raced because those forty minutes were precious to me. Also, I would use some ofit
to get to Pleca Park from here. I grew increasingly anxious just thinking about it.
“Mr. Bryan, thank you for the opportunity. I won’t disappoint you,” I expressed my gratitude and passion
toward the project.
No problem. We can set up a meeting and discuss the details soon.” Bryan’s words gave me a glimmer
of hope.
“If it’s convenient for you, Mr. Bryan, can we meet tomorrow?” I asked. Although anxious to leave, I
couldn’t afford to let go of a potential project. I didn’t hesitate to hand him my business card, saying.“You
can choose the time. I’ll be waiting for your call.
Surprisingly, the two men exchanged a smile when I said that Atticus turned to Bryan and said, “Whatdo
Foswood’s construction industry.”
I blushed, modestly smiling as I said, “Oh, no! I just didn’t want to waste anyone’s precious time.”
The three of us laughed, but my palms were sweating. I knew my precious forty minutes would bewasted if the conversation continued. I had many excuses on how to leave, but since the two men werein high spirits, I knew our conversation wouldn’t end soon.
At that moment, my lips twitched due to my forced smiles. Helpless, I glanced toward Nick, whoobserved the situation. He took a wine glass from a nearby tray and approached me.
I was relieved and discreetly thanked my lucky stars. Today, I saw Nick as my benefactor, even thoughI had just complained about him a few days ago.
“Mr. Atticus, did you just arrive?” Nick smiled at Atticus, then turned and added, “Mr. Bryan, it’s been a
while!”
Immediately after, I told Atticus and Bryan, “I’ll excuse myself for a moment.”
Setting down my wine glass, I took out my phone and pretended to make a call. Then, I walked towardthe exit, knowing I had to use every second efficiently.
People greeted me along the way, but I showed them I was in a hurry. I simply nodded and smiledbefore returning to my phone. I was thrilled as soon as I stepped out of the gate. I couldn’t help but pickup the
pace.
As I was about to reach the elevator, I heard a familiar voice from behind, “Chloe…”
