Yvonne shook her head. "No, my assistant will come t o pick me up. See you!"
After that, she took off the nurse uniform and mask.
When she was thinking about where to put these things, Shane reached out to help. "Give it to me,
Iâll handle it."
Yvonne nodded slightly and handed him the clothes i n her hand. "Thank you very much."
Then, she waved her hand and walked to the elevator.
Soon, she reached the hospital entrance.
Yvonne stood in front of the entrance and looked around. When she saw a black Maserati parked
on the roadside not far away, the corner of her mouth twitched. Then, she took out a pair of
sunglasses from her bag, put them on, and walked towards the Maserati.
When she arrived at the Maserati, a woman in a professional suit got out of the car and greeted
Yvonne respectfully, "Good morning, Miss Smith.â
Yvonne smiled back. "Good morning!"
This was her assistant, Lisa. 1
Lisa opened the back seat door for Yvonne. "Miss Smith, please."
Yvonne nodded and stooped into the car.
Lisa closed the door, went around the front of the car, opened the passenger's door, and got in.
Lisa said to the driver, "Letâs go, David!"
David responded and started the car.
Yvonne scrolled through her mobile phone and asked, "What's my itinerary today besides the
Lancaster Group?"
"Wait a minute, Miss Smith!" Lisa quickly took out her notebook from her bag, opened it, and
reported her itinerary one by one.
After listening, Yvonne pondered for a while. "Cross out the lunch appointment with Mr. Wesley.
Their company's in debt now and can't be saved, so there's n o need to deal with him. In the future,
reject appointments like this directly. Our company isnât poverty alleviation, not every Tom, Dick, and
Harry can approach us."
"Got it, Miss Smith." Lisa nodded, then took out her marker, and started crossing things out.
Yvonne looked at her mobile phone and ordered without raising her head, "There's nothing else.
Inform the Lancaster Group that weâre on the way now."
Lisa responded again, took out her mobile phone, and contacted the Lancaster Group.
The Lancaster Group was in a meeting.
The meeting was just halfway through when Joe received the call.
He looked at Henry, then quietly exited the meeting room with his permission.
After a while, he came back after answering the phone. He walked to Henry and whispered, "Mr.
Lancaster, itâs from the Smith Energy Source."
"Energy Source?" Henry raised his eyebrows.
Joe explained in detail, "Yes, itâs a subsidiary company of the Smith family founded in Vancouver a
few months ago. Their research team has developed new energy that can be used in cars to reduce
air pollution and the country has recognized this energy."
"I remember that. They approached our group, didnât they?" Henry asked after thinking for a
moment.
Joe nodded. "Yes, they took the initiative to approach us last month and hoped to cooperate with
us, but it was master's memorial day at that time. You passed this matter to me and the Head of the
Research Department, Mr. Carter. Both Mr. Carter and I decided t o discuss the cooperation today
and they're on their way now."
Henry whispered, "Subsidiary of the Smith family..." H e couldn't help thinking about the woman he
saw last night.
That woman was from the Smith family.
"Who's in charge of this energy company?â Henry asked while squinting his eyes.
Joe thought for a while. "Itâs the second lady of the Smith family."
Henry looked at him. "Shannon Smith?"
Joe tilted his glasses. âYes, and the phone call earlier was from her assistant. She said that Miss
Smith will come to talk about the cooperation this time!"
"She'll come too." Henry's eyes flashed and he tapped his fingers gently on the table.
After a few seconds, he pursed his thin lips. "Tell Mr. Carter that I'll host the meeting for this
cooperation."
"Huh?" Joe was surprised. "You want to discuss that i n person? But didnât you say..."
"Thatâs it!" Henry interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Go and arrange for it."
"Yes!" Although he didnât know why Mr. Lancaster changed his mind suddenly, Joe didn't ask further
and followed his order.
The meeting ended half an hour later.
Henry got up and walked out of the meeting room to the reception room.
Joe was waiting right outside the reception room.
When he saw Henry coming, he hurried forward. "Mr.
Lancaster."
"Are the guests here?" Henry handed over the documents in his hand.
Joe took it and tucked it under his arm. "No. The director's assistant just called to inform me that
thereâs a traffic jam and they'll take a while.â
Upon hearing that, Henry frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but he didnât say anything in the end. He
hummed and walked into the reception room.
Joe looked at his back and was a little surprised.
Mr. Lancaster didn't get angry, nor did he turn around t o leave!
If a partner was late in the past, with Mr. Lancaster's temper, this cooperation would definitely be out
of the question.
But this time, Mr. Lancaster actually put up with it. Did Mr. Lancaster value the Smith family's new
energy project so much?
After thinking about it for a long time, Joe swallowed his saliva and quickly followed him in.
Another hour passed.
Right when Henry was about to get impatient, someone knocked on the door of the reception room.
The secretary's voice came from the outside, "Mr. Lancaster, the guests are here!"
After seeking Henry's permission, Joe got up and opened the door.
The door opened and the secretary greeted him. Then, she walked to the side, revealing the person
behind her.
Joe had a professional smile on his face and was about to greet them, but when he saw the person
in front of him, his eyes suddenly opened widely. "Ma... madam?"
Hearing this long-lost address, Yvonne's eyes flashed but soon returned to reality. She pretended to
be confused and raised her eyebrows. "Madam?"
Joe didn't hear the alienation in Yvonne's tone and he was a little excited. "Madam, is it really you?"
Yvonne lowered her eyelids and smiled, "Sir, I don't know what youâre talking about. I'm not married
yet, s o how can I be your madam? Don't tease me."
Lisa, who was standing at the side, couldnât help laughing when she heard this. "You must be Mr.
Woods. You've got the wrong person. This is our director, not your madam."
"She's not madam?" Joe was stunned.
"Yes!" Lisa nodded.
Joe still didnât believe it-he looked at Yvonne carefully.
How could she not be madam? She looked exactly the same as her.
How could there be such a similar person in this world if she wasnât madam?
He wasnât dumb!
Seeing the unwillingness in Joe's eyes, Yvonne frowned and said coldly, "Sir, are you done looking
at me? That's very impolite of you!"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Joe came back to his senses and apologized embarrassingly, "I'm really sorry, you
look a lot like madam, so..."
Yvonne squinted her eyes. "Really that similar?"
Joe answered seriously, "Yes!"
"But I'm really not the madam you mentioned!" Yvonne smiled meaningfully.
Joe moved his lip and didnât speak.
Was she really not madam?
How could that be?
The face was almost the sameâhow could she not be madam?
However, this woman's aura and her cold eyes were indeed not like madam.
Did he really get the wrong person?
"Mr. Woods!â Lisa saw Joe in a daze again and waved her hand in front of him.
Joe realized he was rude and quickly apologized again.
Although Yvonne was touched that this person remembered her, she said calmly, "Mr. Woods, can
we go in?"
