Chapter 630
Noticing her colleagues’ curious glances, Lemira had no choice but to get in the car, steeling herself. However, she opted for the front passenger seat.
Orion, sitting in the back, watched her and sighed. “Are you afraid I’m going to eat you p>
“Mr. Everhart is the boss, and I’m just an employee. It’s appropriate for me to sit in the front p>
Lemira sat comfortably in the passenger seat, though she could feel the atmosphere in the car shift.
The CEO’s assistant, who was driving, was incredibly nervous. Who would have thought he’d ever see the big boss acting so meekly toward a girl?
He felt like he could die happy now!
Orion had no choice but to change the subject. “I looked over the issues you submitted. The current technical problem will require a lot of testing and adjustments, which will be time-consuming p>
“I know. I’ll make time to come in and work on it. I’ll have it sorted out within a month p>
Lemira had already formulated a plan during the meeting.
After that brief exchange, Lemira turned to look out the window, and they fell silent.
Before long, the car pulled up outside the conference venue.
Just as Lemira was about to get out, Orion received a call. His voice grew tense. “What’s wrong with Grandma? I’m on my way p>
Lemira, who had already stepped out of the car, couldn’t help but look back.
She remembered Orion mentioning that the time Sophia had answered his phone was when his grandmother had been seriously ill in the hospital.
Orion’s brow was furrowed with anxiety. “I have to go to the hospital. Everything for the conference is set up. You can just go up and give the presentation p>
“Go on, then. I’ve got this p>
Lemira could see how much he cared for his grandmother. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so frantic that he didn’t even realize he’d lost his phone.
She watched Orion’s car speed away and looked around, but she didn’t see her colleagues’ car yet.
The traffic had been bad, so they were probably delayed.
Lemira took her files and walked into the venue alone. At the entrance, she ran into Evelina and Evander, who both wore triumphant smiles.
Evelina spoke first. “Lemira, I have some good news for you. Asher has reinvested in Lucian’s project and it’s doing very well But I suppose that’s not such good news for you p>
“You’re no threat p>
Lemira was calm. “After all, you had to steal our company’s data just to submit a bid.
A competitor of that caliber isn’t even worth my time p>
Evander quickly interjected, “Lemira, Asher has investment from the Waverlies and is partnering with the renowned international company, PZ. Asmall company like yours stands ho cha
against us
suggest you get out before Maple Group goes bankrupt p>
Lemira was surprised. “PZ Group p>
She had heard of that company in her past life. They were a notorious fraudulent enterprise that had scammed numerous companies in Orvin, with damages totaling in the billions.
Back then, PZhad also approached
the Langston family for a
partnership, but she had felt that overseas investment was unnecessary. The Langston family was dominating the market and didn’t need the money, so Asher had rejected their offer.
She never thought that in this life, Asher would actually partner with them. Was he in
a hurry to fail?
Evander said smugly, “You’ve probably heard of them. It was Eve who made the introduction p>
A look of anticipation crossed Evelina’s face.
Once this project was over and the Langston Group’s funds were drained, she would no longer have to put up with the Langstons or suck up to Evander, that cripple.
When that time came, she would make Lemira’s life a living hell.
Lemira scoffed. “Evelina, you introduced a fraudulent company to Asher? What do
you think will happen if he finds out p>
Evelina’s face paled. How did that bitch Lemira know?
It was impossible.
