846 Words
"I... I am!" Stella was already nervous, and the sudden voice startled her. She looked up and saw a young woman in professional attire standing nearby with a smile.
"Hello! Esteemed guest, please follow me. Our GM is waiting for you in the office!" The young woman, now confirmed to be the new receptionist, seemed very reserved, as if she were hosting someone important. The GM personally instructed her to ensure she greeted a woman named Stella Wilson at the door, and she couldn't afford to be negligent!
"Oh, alright!" Stella was a bit dazed; her mind seemed insufficient. An esteemed guest? The GM of Global Investment waiting for her? It felt like she was dreaming!
A moment later, Stella arrived at Mila's office.
"Miss Wilson, hello! I'm Mila Robinson, the GM of Global Investment. It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" Mila rushed forward to greet Stella, inwardly marveling at Stella's beauty, which seemed capable to make everyone fall for her.
"Miss Robinson, hello!" Stella was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected the GM of Global Investment to be so young and beautiful!
After a brief chat, the conversation between the two got to the point.
"Miss Robinson, I actually came to your company mainly for Wilson Group..." Stella straightened up, feeling a bit nervous.
"Miss Wilson, I think... there's no need to waste any more time on this matter!" Mila waved her hand, cutting off Stella's words directly.
"What... what?" Stella couldn't believe her ears. From the moment she walked in until now, Mila's words seemed to be trying to please her. But why was she so straightforwardly refusing to discuss the crucial issue? What was she really thinking?
"What I mean is, Global Investment won't invest in Wilson Group! Because it is pretty sure that this deal is a loss!" Mila explained with a faint smile.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll... just go. Sorry for disturbing!" Stella's hopes were shattered. She felt a bit powerless as she prepared to leave. It seemed that Mila's warm reception earlier was just a formality because of Andrew Cooper.
"Wait, Miss Wilson, I think you've misunderstood me!" Mila saw Stella about to leave the office and hurriedly got up to stop her, feeling a cold sweat on her back. 'If Miss Wilson leaves and I can't complete the boss's task, my position as CEO would likely be in jeopardy!'
"Let me explain further. Global Investment won't invest in Wilson Group, but we can invest in you!" Mila was afraid of any more misunderstandings and quickly finished her sentence.
"Invest in me?" Stella's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't understand why.
"Yes! We at Global Investment have decided to invest 500 million in you! The contract is ready, and once you sign it, the project will be completely finalized!" Mila took out a contract from her desk and handed it to Stella.
"Five... five hundred million?" Stella's eyes widened, finding it hard to believe! Her goal was only fifty million, so how did she suddenly end up with five hundred million for no reason?
"Miss Robinson, you're... not joking, are you?" Stella asked suspiciously.
"You can carefully read the contract." Mila smiled, sipping her coffee. She couldn't help but feel even more envious of Stella. Why couldn't she encounter such a wealthy husband who could effortlessly invest five hundred million!?
Stella sat down still with doubt, and began to scrutinize the contract word by word. The more she read, the wider her eyes became. '500 million! It's really a five-hundred-million-dollar investment! Moreover, Global Investment has already signed and stamped the contract; all that is left is my signature!'
"May I ask why?" Stella sighed deeply, suppressing her excitement and asked. Not investing in Wilson Group, but investing in herself?! She wasn't naive enough to think she was worth more than Wilson Group!
"Because... you have a lucky star!" Mila smiled mysteriously and answered playfully.
"A Lucky star?! Who is it!?" Stella slightly furrowed her brows. Was it Andrew Cooper?! But even he might not have such great power, right?!
"Miss Wilson, if you still doubt our investment, I don't think we need to cooperate anymore!" Mila immediately dropped her smile and replied sternly. She hadn't expected to slip up almost revealing Flores's identity! Suddenly, her back was drenched in cold sweat.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore." With that, Stella swiftly signed her name on the contract.
"Looking forward to cooperating with you!" After signing the contract, Mila personally escorted Stella to the door.
Along the way, Stella seemed a bit absent-minded. 'Who is the lucky star that the GM mentioned?! Why would he help me?! That is f500 million dollars!'
"Take care, Miss Wilson. The investment funds will be transferred to your designated account tomorrow," Mila said, feeling relaxed as she had perfectly completed the first task assigned by her boss.
Just then, Stella seemed to suddenly remember something, her pretty face full of surprise. She slowly turned around and asked, "Miss Robinson, I noticed on the contract just now, your boss seems to be called Mr. Ford?!"
