Chapter 545
Lemira frowned slightly. What could Ms. Sinclair want to discuss with her?
After a moment of contemplation, she decided to head over to the office.
She poured Sophia a glass of water. “I’m afraid I don’t have much to offer in terms of hospitality, Ms. Sinclair p>
“Please, call me Sophia. And no need to be so cautious; I’m here to propose a collaboration p>
“A collaboration p>
Lemira remained wary. She remembered the recent fallout with the Sinclair family and doubted Sophia was unaware of it. There had been rumors about the failed engagement between the Everhart and Sinclair families. Susanna had been keeping a low profile lately.
“Yes, the Sinclair family has been sponsoring the Orvin University Base for years, always in close partnership. You’ve probably seen the returns on those investments. I wanted to invite you to join us p>
Investing? The previous team leader had joined forces with the Sinclairs for what seemed like a high-end investment, but it was really just a money-laundering scheme for them.
“I’m not interested in investments. I don’t think we can work together,” Lemira replied.
“Don’t be so quick to refuse. I’ve heard you have an Aurora Trust, and my proposal is related to that. I know your recent event didn’t go well, and everyone’s saying you’re just in it for the money p>
Lemira bristled. “That trust was founded by my parents for charity. It’s not a money-making scheme p>
“I understand, but public opinion can be harsh. I’m organizing a joint event with Aurora Trust for one-on-one sponsorships for girls in need. Your participation could really benefit your foundation p>
“Why are you coming to me with this?” Lemira asked.
“Because the Orvin University Base has always participated in charitable events, and I’ve always been the organizer p>
Lemira got it. “Alright, I’ll participate p>
“Great. I’ll set up a planning dinner soon to discuss the event details. You have to be there p>
With that, Sophia left without lingering any longer.
As she walked away from the team base, Sophia glanced back with a hint of disdain in her expression. “Is everything arranged p>
“Yes, Ms. Lemira. On the day of the event, we’ll reveal her true colors p>
Sophia felt pleased. She wasn’t about to give up on Orion. After all, how long does a man’s affection last marriage of equal standing was what they needed s
After Sophia left, Lemira called the Aurora Trust to prepare for the sponsorship event for girls. They’d need to buy lots of supplies, and the most crucial was sanitary pads. Many girls in impoverished areas” couldn’t afford proper sanitary products and had to resort to makeshift solutions, leading to
health issues. s
The person in charge replied, “Should we leave all this to Ms. Sterling? She needs to sign off on the funds p>
“Yes, that’s fine p>
Lemira figured Evelina would be quite busy in the coming days. Moving money around required some effort.
Later that evening, Lemira returned to her dorm from the team base. She noticed
a bouquet of roses on the table, beautifully wrapped.
Janice exclaimed, “Wow, Stella, did your boyfriend send you these p>
Stella glanced at the roses, smiled slightly, and nodded. “Something like that p>
Lemira just gave the roses a cursory glance, suspecting they were from Asher.
Janice then turned to Lemira. “Are you really letting that ‘two-faced’ girl get involved in your charity event? Remember how she buttered up Mrs. Grace Draven to make things difficult for you at the last fundraiser? And Asher still covered for her! I really wonder if there’s something going on between them.” s
“Don’t jump to conclusions p>
Lemira glanced at Stella. Now that she knew about Asher and her new roommate’s connection, it was best not to speculate too openly.
