Chapter 138
Gilda smiled graciousl
and declined. âThat wonât be necessary, Linda. Someone will be coming to pick
â me up.â
âIâll at least walk you to the door.â Without giving Gilda a chance to refuse, Linda gestured for her to follow.
Gilda nodded slightly and left in her high heels.
At the entrance, Jackson was chatting with some ML. Group partners. He glanced casually and saw Gilda approaching.
âMr. Lee, regarding the new nanotechnology project, letâs discuss it in detail at your company .â
âOkay, Mr. Moore, weâll be ready anytime.â
After seeing off the partners, Jackson quickly walked up to Gilda. Seeing her shoulders exposed, he took off his coat and draped it over her. âItâs cold outside.â
As he spoke, he draped his coat over Gildaâs shoulders.
Linda, who was behind them, saw this scene without any visible reaction, but she was still slightly surprised by Jacksonâs gentle attitude towards Gilda, a tenderness she had never seen before.
âMy driverâs here.â Gilda spotted the familiar license plate.
âSee you tomorrow, Jackson.â
Jackson grunted in agreement, then waved after Gilda had boarded the car.
The driver started the car and drove off, disappearing into the distance until the car was out of sight. Only then did Jackson retract his gaze.
The next morning, the driver was waiting at her doorstep
Gilda changed into professional attire, her makeup exquisite. She looked competent. As as she got in the car, the driver handed her a stack of documents.
âMs. Lynch, these are from Mr. Moore.â
Gilda took them, opened them, and found they were all about the new nanotechnology project. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes. âThank you. Mr. Moore has thought of everything.â
The driver started the car, and as it drove off, Gilda took the opportunity to look through the documents.
Today, she would be negotiating with a foreign company, Universe Blade Group a leader in the local nanotechnology industry. When they arrived at the destination, Gilda got out of the car.

Coincidentally, another familiar car slowly pulled up from the opposite direction and stopped in front of Gilda. The window rolled down, revealing Lannyâs profile. He greeted her with a smile, âWhat a coincidence, Ms. Lynch.â
Gilda was speechless.
Seeing Lanny, it wasnât hard to guess that Jensen was sitting in the back seat.
Gilda felt that Allath was a bit too small. âWhat a coincidence, Lanny.â
Gilda greeted him politely, and Lanny couldnât help but , âMs. Lynch, are you here today for negotiations too?â
Gilda raised an eyebrow. âYou⦠too?â
Lanny adjusted his glasses with a meaningful look. âCould it be that weâre both going to Universe Blade Group?â
Gilda thought to herself, âEnemies do cross paths often!â
As soon as Lanny finished speaking, Jensenâs voice came from the backseat. âLanny, stop the car. Weâre getting off.â
âYes, Mr. Harrington.â
Jensen got out of the car and looked at Gilda meaningfully. His deep eyes seemed to want to see through her. âNew nanotechnology? It seems weâre competitors today, Ms. Lynch.â
Gilda was slightly surprised. âWhen did the Harrington Corporation start getting involved in nanotechnology?â
However, she was used to hiding her emotions and didnât reveal anything of what she truly felt.
âIn that case, letâs see who comes out on top.â
After saying this, Gilda walked toward the Universe Blade Group.
Jensen stared her back, a slight smile on his lips and then followed closely behind.
âMs. Lynch, Mr. Lee has already briefed us beforehand. Please follow me.â
The receptionist led Gilda and Jensen to the conference room on the 17th floor. Gilda intentionally chose a seat far from Jensen.
