At this moment, the darkness within Galaxy Villa couldn’t match the darkness swimming in Joe’s eyes. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Inside the towering building of Martin Group, everyone was busy at work.
At 10:00 am, Jeffrey, dressed in a suit, arrived with Maisy,
As he was the chairman of a company, Jeffrey exuded an air of refinement and authority.
However, his company was nowhere near the scale of Martin Group. Plus, recent events in his company
had left him feeling somewhat anxious.
As Maisy stepped into the building, she felt a sense of belonging, as if she were destined to be the chairwoman of this place.
“Sorry, you didn’t arrange an appointment with Mr. Ziegler. I’m afraid you can’t see Mr. Martin,” the receptionist answered with a smile upon hearing that Jeffrey hadn’t made an appointment.
Jeffrey felt a bit embarrassed. He had called Paul several times to make an appointment, only to be rejected each time.
Paul consistently cited Joe’s busy schedule as the reason. He advised Jeffrey to contact the commerce department directly.
However, the department’s head reiterated that collaboration depended not only on fate but also on
whether their proposals met Martin Group’s requirements.
Every employee of the Williams Group had been working overtime for several days, but Martin Group wasn’t satisfied with any of their proposals. They all got sent back.
In the end, there was no way to continue the collaboration.
For the Williams Group, it was like a bolt from the blue.
“My dad is the Williams Group’s chairman. We came specifically to see Mr. Martin. Can’t you make an exception?” Maisy still behaved arrogantly. She deliberately emphasized the word “chairman“.
Such words might have intimidated receptionists at other companies, but Martin Group’s receptionists were used to seeing chairmen and CEOS of various companies. They remained unfazed and continued to smile politely.
“I’m sorry.”
Maisy frowned, feeling that the receptionist was being stubborn and lacked understanding.
Jeffrey’s face darkened. After years of hustling in the business world, it was the first time he felt like he had been slapped in the face.
“Fine,” he said. That was all he could manage to utter.
Then he took out his phone and called Paul.
Coincidentally, Paul had just stepped out of the elevator when his phone rang. He glanced at his phone and declined the call without any hesitation.
Jeffrey and Maisy witnessed this scene.
Maisy walked over quickly, her high heels clicking against the floor.
“Can you give us an explanation, Mr. Ziegler? Why did you decline my dad’s call?”
Paul raised an eyebrow and took a careful look at the beautiful woman who intercepted him.
With just one glance, he recognized who she was.
“I’m busy now. If you have anything to say, you can contact me through the company’s reception.” Paul was indifferent.
Jeffrey, who had just stepped forward, hesitated for only three seconds before speaking up directly. “Mr. Ziegler, could you spare us ten minutes to have a chat?”
He had come that day with ulterior motives. Besides figuring out why Martin Group had changed their attitude, he also wanted Joe to meet Maisy.
The change in Martin Group’s attitude directly affected his company’s operations. They had lost many projects in just a few days.
