Chapter 315

All of this

was an unexpected snap, causing a delay in their plans. So, the next day, Dorothy had a private

meeting with Emmett before Natalia returned from the hospital. Only then did the three of them head to

the conference room

After they had mapped out the due diligence process and delegation of tasks, Natalia stood up and

made a point of apologizing to Dorothy. Tim sorry Ms. Sanchez. I indulged in my love for food too

much, and it’s affected our work. It won’t happen again.

“No problem, I get it. The food in Havenbrook City is too good to resist Domly reassured her while

patting her on the shoulder. “Let’s make s this due diligence. Once we’re back in the office advocate for

some additional benefits for you both with Lane.”

sure we nail

Ms. Sanchez, you’re too kind. Thank you! Natalia’s face was filled with so much gratitude that she

looked like she might burst into tears. People have been talking badly behind your back, but they just

don’t understand you”

At that, Emmett shot Natala a waming look reminding her to watch what she was saying

Dorothy laughed it off. Tm used to it. Some people can’t handle their jobs but excel at spreading

rumors. The company will weed them out eventually im

not bothered”

Sometimes, when she looked at Natalia, she could see a younger version of Karen. She was candid,

naive, and was clearly spoiled with a lifetime of love and affection from her parents.

Dorothy sent Emmett to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce without telling anyone, hoping to catch

them off guard and get some real insights.

Natalia, not being the best at communication and because she was still recovering from her stomach

problem, was asked to wait in the hotel. If they needed her, they could easily reach out.

Dorothy, on the other hand, went alone to Verity Holdings Limited in Havenbrook City. This was the

company they were due to examine

She was greeted by a young man in a smart suit. He was older than Dorothy, but not by much, and he

had a constant smile that gave him the air of a seasoned professional.

“Our leadership is taking this collaboration with East Star Enterprises very senously. We’re hoping for a

prosperous partnership.”

Dorothy smiled back. “That’s a mutual hopel Venty Holdings Limited has been in business for many

years and is a respected enterprise in Haverbrook Cny. It’s an honor for East Star Enterprises to

collaborate with you”

The man handed over his business card. “My name is Gabriel. I’m the project manager at Verity

Holdings Lamited”

Tim Dorothy Nice to meet you.”

After some small talk, they moved on to the main topic

Gabriel suggested they could go to a restaurant to discuss things further while having lunch, but

considering the incident at the Prosperity Consortium. Dorothy was hesitant to go to a restaurant alone

with a man

She didn’t want to risk encountering a similar situation without Everett around to help this time

“I find restaurants can be a bit noisy. Let’s continue our work, and once we’re done, I can imite you for

dinner Dorothy suggested. She thought that if she brought Emmett and Natalia along, it would be safer

Gabriel didnt object. He simply nodded in agreement.

In the conference room, Dorothy laid out the teema from East Star Enterprises. Naturally, stiffened

sit came to matters of profit, Gabriel’s expression

However, as a representative of East Star Enterprises, maximizing the company’s profit was part of

Dorothy’s job.

1 need to discuss these terms with our leadership, Ms. Sanchez. How long are you planning to stay in

Haverbrook City?”

head back as soon as we’ve reached an agreement. There’s a lot of work waiting for me at the office”

Dorothy replied, implying that she was serious about the collaboration. If it didn’t work out, it would be

their loss, not East Star Enterprises.
