Chapter 682
Ben was fuming the more he thought about it. The two people he worked with every day turned out to be home wreckers
It was so infumating!
What was even more infuriating was himself. Knowing well that they were both messing with other peopleâs families, he still had to put on a smile and work with them, pretending as nothing had happened
He was really pitiful!
If there was a next life, he swore not to be Marcusâs assistant again. Heâd be his own boss.
Before Ben could snap out of his thoughts, they had already arrived at the meeting room downstairs.
When they arrived most of the people from both sides were already there.
Initially, the staff from the two companies sat separately on either side of the large conference table. When Cornelia followed Marcus into the meeting room, she saw everyone huddled together, especially a few girls who were exceptionally enthusiastic and excited.
One colleague from the programming department was particularly loud, âYouâre not even twentyâsix yet, but youâve already secured the position of R&D Director at Moongazer Tech. Your future is truly limitless.â
âYou flatter me!â Cornelia hadnât seen the person yet, but she first heard the voice of todayâs most attentionâgrabbing person. The voice sounded nice enough, but it couldnât compare to Marcusâs deep and sexy voice.
Clearing her throat, Cornelia coughed
Usually as soon as Marcus arrived, everyone would notice and stand to greet him. Today, Cornelia had to cough several times to draw everyoneâs attention.
âPresident Hartleyâ Everyone stood up and greeted Marcus.
Marcus waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and he headed straight for the main seat, âMr. Sharp, sorry for keeping you waiting!â
Mr. Sharp was one of the founders of Moongazer Tech, probably the person with the most say in their company. Their company was a rising star, developing rapidly. However, compared to the massive Hartley Group, they were like an ant to an elephant.
Facing Marcus, Mr. Sharp could only act like a little brother, âPresident Hartley, you are too kind, we just arrived too.â
He gestured to the man next to him to step forward, and continued, âPresident Hartley, now let me formally introduce you to Roman, our Chief Engineer at Moongazer Tech. He studied abroad and has many awards under his belt. Most importantly, he is a native of Riverton The Padilla family should have some connections with your familyâ
Upon hearing this name, Cornelia, who had been preparing her paperwork, looked up and saw a familiar male face as expected. When she looked at the man, he was also looking at her, even nodding and smiling at her in greeting
After a few glances, Cornelia withdrew her gaze and scoffed in her mind what a small world!
Marcus did remember the Padilla family from Riverton, âThe Padilla family from the north of the city?â
Roman took his eyes off Cornelia and stood up to converse politely with Marcus, âYes. I didnât expect President Hartley to remember.
Marcusâs knowledge of the Padilla family came entirely from his grandmotherâs stories. She often mentioned that when his greatâgrandfather first started running a garment. factory, they had been a great help.
As a result, his greatâgrandfatherâs gratitude to the Padilla family lasted for decades, his grandfather also felt grateful to the Padilla family. Even his grandmother often brought up the matter.
Their repeated mentions were to teach the next generation to be grateful and if the Padilla family was ever in need, they must do their best to help.
