Chapter 389
He appeared somewhat nonchalant, but his deep brown eyes were calm and collected.
In this industry, frequenting entertainment venues was par for the course, but it didn’t mean everyone was unreliable.
Trenton, for instance, was far more trustworthy than the rumors suggested.
But clearly, Zola wanted a quick win and hadn’t done her homework on Trenton.
“This isn’t about my confidence. I just want to give you a reminder. You can give Eileen a hard time. She’s been on a roll since joining the Freguson Group, and many are waiting for her to slip up. For Freguson Group, acquiring your club is a minor project. If she fails, it’ll be quite the embarrassment.”
In short, she wanted Trenton to throw a wrench in Eileen’s plans.
From the moment Eileen showed up, Zola knew her chances of acquiring the club were slim.
Trenton stared at Zola for a while before laughing. “Don’t you think that’s a bit out of line?”
“What’s out of line about it? Business is all about scheming. I’m just giving you a friendly reminder.”
Zola smiled slightly. “What you do next is up to you. I should get going.”
She waved at Trenton and turned to leave.
The club was bustling, and Eileen, preferring not to draw attention, nestled herself in a relatively secluded corner.

However, it didn’t take long for people to approach her, engaging in small talk about business matters.
When Zola returned to the room, she kept her distance, choosing to sit away from Eileen.
From time to time, people would strike up conversations with Zola. As one of the only two women present, she also received some flattery.
Soon, Trenton returned.
Eileen concluded her conversation with the person next to her and walked over to Trenton. “Long time no see.”
“Indeed, it’s been a while,” Trenton replied with a radiant smile. “The last time I saw you, you were Mr. Dawson’s special assistant. I’ve often praised your skills to him, and it seems my words were well-founded. Here you are, spreading your wings and flying.”
With that, the room’s focus shifted entirely to Eileen as everyone began showering her with compliments.
It was at this moment that Zola realized Eileen and Trenton had known each other for a long time.
