Freya wanted to say something, but she had no idea what she should talk about.


    The air of romance between them grew stronger. Ryan gave a deepugh before he held her body and sucked on her lips.


    The kiss was slow and gentle.


    At first, he acted cautiously to let her adapt to the change in their rtionship little by little.


    When she gradually became used to it, he hugged her on the couch and ran his fingers through her hair. He kissed her patiently for a very long time.


    After that, both of them sat together and watched a movie. Only after the sky darkened did they return to The Lodge.


    The next day, Freya was in a good mood during thepany''s meeting.


    Catherine hade up with a strategic n for the new year. "Dear all, Osher Corporation used to be the top cosmetic brand in Australia. However, with the obstacles Osher has faced throughout the past year, all other brands have worked their way up. This is an opportunity for Freycatheli, so our target this year will


    be to rece Osher in bing thergest cosmetic brand."


    The executives had long known that Catherine was extremely ambitious. Even so, the meeting went into a state of chaos once they heard that.


    A manager raised a question, "President Jones, this is such a tough target, isn''t it? Osher doesn''t only own a cosmetic brand but hair products as well as skincare products, whereas ourpany is only focused on a single product right now."


    "That''s right. Although President Lynch''s research and development team is working at full speed, one year seems a little..."


    "That''s why we need to make an acquisition."


    Catherine rose to her feet and asked Hans to disy the information on the screen. "I''m set on making an acquisition, and thepany is Cloudify from Country H. Their organic personal care products are quite good, and their brand is well-known. The only thing is that there have been issues with their strategic n in recent years."


    The manager from the marketing department boldly posed a question, "Indeed, this brand has been performing quite well over the past few years, but it has had poor sales performance in recent years. Some localpanies have considered taking over thepany. But after drawing up a budget, they realized that theirpanies would incur a loss, so they dismissed the idea."


    Catherine turned her eyes to Eliza without saying a word.


    Eliza was also a shareholder of thepany. She hardly showed up in meetings, but she had to attend the regr meeting in the new year.


    Eliza said, "We can acquire Cloudify in the first half of the year and keep it low- key. Then, we can work with tforms and apps that young people are active on as well as bloggers. When they act as purchasing agents in the country, Cloudify''s reputation will automatically be stronger. Being in the entertainment industry, I''m very familiar with things like this and I''m well- connected. In the second half of the year, we can publicly announce the acquisition of Cloudify and get a celebrity to endorse its products."


    "The fees for these tforms..."


    "I have connections, so we won''t have to spend a great deal. My friends who can endorse the products will be avable for discounted rates too."

    After the meeting ended, the executives left one by one. Freya was full of admiration for Catherine and Eliza. "When did the two of you discuss such a n? That''s awesome."


    "When you were busy taking care of your child and being in a rtionship." Catherineughed softly as she darted a nce at Eliza. "But I''m quite surprised that you''re knowledgeable about business as well,


    Eliza." "I have more than ten endorsements, so I always need to interact with the advertisers."


    Eliza lowered her eyes and sipped on the warm coffee.


    In fact, she knew more about the business field than the rest because she got involved with it the earliest. However, she could only be an artist because of fate. Once she exposed her business talents, her identity would be easily suspected.


    "Alright. Only the three of us are here. Now that we''ve settled thepany''s affairs, let''s talk about our revenge n."


    All of a sudden, Catherine changed the subject and said with a smile.


    Stunned, Freya and Eliza shifted their eyes to Catherine at the same time.
