Female Novel
Chapter 33
Pierre heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Niall’s words. Well, I think I know who the stalker is nowif it isn’t Selena. Phew! Thank goodness it’s not her! At that moment, he felt like he had taken aheavy load off his chest, only to be bewildered by a strange realization deep down. Why would I feelthat way? What’s happening to me?
“President Fowler. President Fowler…” Niall realized Pierre was caught in a trance, as the latterdidn’t respond even after he called out to him a few times.
Upon coming to back his senses, Pierre looked askance at Niall with a glacial gaze and beckonedhim over with his finger. Then, Niall leaned closer and listened to what his boss was going to tellhim, only to be stunned by what he heard. Oh gosh! We’re going to set a trap and lure our targetinto it!
“Alright, I’ll work on it right away!” After a few moments of hesitation, Niall went on to say, “By theway, there is something I’d like to bring to your attention, President Fowler. Our men hit a little snagback in our base, so they’d like you to swing by and look into the situation. For that, when would yoube free?”
In that instant, Pierre’s gaze darkened and became even more glacial. Why now of all times? Infact, Megan’s wedding was just two weeks away, and he surmised that Selena would probably dosomething to disrupt the event by then. Confused with his own feelings for the lady, he wasn’t surewhether he wanted to be there to keep her out of trouble, or just to enjoy the show. Besides,Selena’s birthday was just around the corner, and he had promised Juniper to propose to hermother in order to grant the little girl’s wish. Therefore, he couldn’t go back on his words.
“President Fowler, please kindly decide whether you’d be free on—” As Niall gently reminded Pierreabout his schedule once more, he was surprised to see the man, who was usually meticulous withhis work, caught in a trance twice in a row.
“We’ll set out in five days after taking care of all internal affairs in the company,” Pierre said with hisdeep voice in a determined manner.
“Five days?” Niall was stunned to hear that Pierre needed that long because the latter had alwaysplaced the base above everything else. All it ever took was just a day or two until we set off for thebase, but this time… it takes five days! Five days! I can’t believe that.
Upon noticing Niall’s preoccupied look, Pierre knocked on the table and said, “By the way, pleaseget me a ring.”
When he heard that, Niall couldn’t believe his ears, and he felt his jaw drop. “Well, don’t you alreadyhave one?” Come on, who would propose twice with two different rings? “Oh wait, you mean awedding ring, right?” At that moment, Niall could only assume that the previous ring was anengagement ring, while the one he wanted now was a wedding ring. That makes much more sense!
“No. Please also find me a restaurant where I can have some privacy. Pick a few of them and let mechoose.”
Since Pierre didn’t seem willing to reveal more, Niall had no choice but to keep quiet and give upasking before he proceeded to do what he had been ordered to.novelbin
Meanwhile, one of the units on the fifth floor at Forever Gown had become a makeshift office forSelena. At the same time, she had also recruited a few core members from JNS Corporation to puttogether a team. After staying in Astoria for a while, she already had an idea in regards to hercompany’s new direction.
“I’d like to announce our plan to explore the market in Astoria. Regarding that, what do you allthink? Please feel free to speak your mind,” Selena said while flipping through the documents thatLinda had given her.
“President Yard, I personally think that the demand for wedding dresses is decreasing as peoplenowadays are getting less and less into the idea of getting married. Besides, our existence has alsocaused many other smaller brands to rise and dilute the overall market share. While the demand forformal dresses and gowns hasn’t changed much, wedding dresses are still our main product.Therefore, I’m of the opinion that we should build and develop our own brand.” One of Selena’strusted employees, Pauline Ziegler, who was also an assistant manager in JNS Corporation, gaveher opinion.
As soon as Linda heard that, she immediately winked at her as a gesture to keep quiet.
