Chapter 2152
Isabel was taken aback.
Agift from the jewelry house?
Such generosity was unheard of. It was a ludicrously expensive piece!
She did not conceal her surprise at hearing this. "Are you close with them?"
Rnd treated it as if it was something mundane. "Yeah."
Isabel heaved a long sigh and sent a cute sticker of a figure giving a giant thumbs-up.
They had gifted Rnd a diamond ne worth two hundred million dors. It was certainly a gesture that said a lot about his
status.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Ding!
Rnd sent her another text. "Do you like it?"
She smiled at the disy of her phone and replied, "I love it, thank you."
She loved everything that he gifted her.
"| have to get back to work. See you tonight."
"Alright."
With that, she put away her phone, then she carefully handled the ne and took another good look at it.
She inspected it from every angle, it looked fantastic no matter which angle she observed it from.
She strapped the ne around her neck, then she started eating herte breakfast.
Just as she was about to finish her meal, she received a call from Ca. She was asking if she wanted to return to Westchester
today.
She told Ca quite straightforwardly, "There''s a lot to see in Southboro, so I''m going to hang out here for a while longer. Why
don''t you go back with Amanda first?"
Besides, she did not have any gigs lined up these days. If she went back to Westchester, she was only going toze at home
anyway, and she could do the same thing here at Southboro.
Ca asked skeptically, "Are you sure you''re staying because you want to sightsee?"
Isabel answered without the slightest bit of shift in her tone, "Yeah, do you want to stay as well?"
Ca turned down the offer, "No, no, I’d better go back to Westchester with Amanda."
After his brief conversation with Isabel, Rnd went to a conference room in Rockwell Corporation.
Seated at the conference table were all the top executives from Rockwell Corporation with Decker seated at the head
of the table.
As soon as he entered, everyone''s eyes fell on him.
Save for several aged executives who regarded Rnd with friendliness, the rest of them looked at him with the same look of
sheathed contempt just as Decker did. The smiles they hung on their lips were as false as they could be.
Rnd went straight to the front of the table and took the first seat to Decker''s left.
Decker threw a nce at him, then he motioned, "Alright, continue."
The meeting started ten minutes ago. They disyed no intention of waiting for Rnd.
The conversation continued. They were discussing the current affairs of the departments across the corporation over thest
month.
Rnd sat and listened dispassionately.
After the executives finished rying their reports, Decker suddenly turned to Rnd and asked with a wry smile," Rnd, do
you have any thoughts you’d like to share with us?"
Rnd nced at him, then he said in a low voice, "| would suggest postponing the projects proposed by Jimmy, Charles, and
Lester."
Decker''s response was mild.
The few executives quoted by Rnd, however, did not take to this suggestion kindly. One of them sneered and asked in an
offended voice, "Mr. Rnd, the projects we mentioned are all key projects that will contribute to our revenue over the next
quarter. What makes you say that we should postpone them?"
"The others have proposed several projects as well. Why do you want to postpone our projects specifically?"
"That''s right. Is it because we interrupted you and your girlfriend''s datest night? Is this why you chose to target us?"
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped to a freezing point. Most of the executives were on Decker''s side and had no
qualms about ganging up against Rnd.
Several executives seemed puzzled by what was happening. They wondered if Rnd was truly targeting them
specifically, and they also questioned the gossip about him having a girlfriend.
Decker''s expression had changed too, and he was looking at Rnd with a hostile squint.
Rnd remained in the same position with a nk, disinterested look on his face.
