Chapter 1845


    Meanwhile, a recently developed office building officiallyunched in Horington as an enterprise brand


    that day.


    Out of the hundred-odd stories of the building, twenty of them belonged to Crawford Heights Group.


    Coralie was d in business attire as she sat in the chief financial officer''s office, busy auditing the


    export sales for that month.


    As soon as she concluded the statistical report, a broad grin was etched on her face. She hastily


    picked up the phone and dialed her brother''s number.


    “Congrats, Shawn! Our sales have skyrocketed again this month! Compared tost month, it has


    increased by more than one hundred and thirty percent. We''ll be realizing your n in no time.”


    The business world is no different from a battlefield. Coralie was awed by Shawn''s capability.


    “We''re still far from achieving our goal. To think that we could generate that many sales by poaching


    just three of Farwell Group''s clients, I wouldn''t dare to imagine how good Lucian is at running their


    business,” responded Shawn.


    Instead of being consumed by conceit at that transient sess, Shawn began to see Lucian''s terrifying


    control.


    In fact, his newly foundedpany was barely even one-tenth of Farwell Group in size.


    Unlike Farwell Group, which had their headquarters already taking up two blocks of building, not to


    mention having their very own massive industrial area, all Shawn owned were twenty measly stories


    within an office building.


    “Commend them if you must, Shawn, but there''s no need to belittle yourself. We''re not based in this


    southern city, so we ought to take it one step at a time. Anyway, this is only the beginning. I believe in


    you!” Coralie did not forget to sing her brother''s praises.


    After hanging up the phone, shepleted her work and shut down theptop. The corner of her lips


    curled upward slightly without her knowing it.


    Asical as it might sound, the man who had been involved in the car ident turned out to be


    Jonathan, Frieda''s elder brother.


    It was as though the fate of bothdies and their brothers were inextricably intertwined.


    Then came a knock on the door. “Come in!” answered Coralie.


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Frieda entered the office with an upright demeanor. She was appointed the deputy chief financial officer


    of Crawford Heights Group, or rather, Coralie''s assistant.


    Regardless, she could not have asked for a better job than that.


    To be managing the finance of a tradingpany that big, she had found more pleasure than


    overseeing those fourteen medicinal herbs suppliers prior to that.


    “Ms. Crawford, I''ve finishedpiling the statistics on our goods importation. Please have a look.”


    Frieda raised her gaze to sneak a peek while submitting the report. For some reason, she feared


    Coralie.


    On the flip side, Coralie was all smiles. “You don''t have to be rigid when there are only two of us,


    Frieda. Just call me by my first name! Oh, by the way, let''s have dinner together after work.”


    Frieda bobbed her head. Deep down, she was worried that Coralie might hold a grudge against her


    because of the tight p she had given Coralie the other night.


    Lowering her head a little, Frieda stepped out of Coralie''s office and went back to her own office.


    Frieda''s office was nowhere close to being as majestic as Coralie''s. Still, it was spacious enough for


    her. Thepany had even assigned a secretary to help her.


    Frieda knew very well the reason Coralie would y up to her all of a sudden. What she did not know


    was how Coralie had gotten acquainted with Jonathan in the first ce. That woman has to have a


    thing for Jonathan! How ridiculous! If they really end up tying the knot, what would that make our


    rtionship?


    Frieda''s mind was abuzz with chaos as she tried to figure it out.


    Out of the blue, her secretary barged into the office in a panic.


    “I have something to report, Ms. Queen.”


    Noticing the anxiety brimming in the secretary''s eyes, Frieda prompted on the spot, “What''s wrong?”


    “There seems to be an issue with the payment from some of our clients. The three new clients had yet


    to remit us their outstanding bnce, and they''re way past the grace period allotted to them. If they still


    don''t pay up, our suppliers will be the first toe after us!”


    Frieda froze at that revtion. Aren''t those three clients the ones personally secured by Shawn not


    long ago?


    Among them was Paolo, the man who had openly turned his back on Lucian.


    Given the situation at hand, idling about was not an option for Frieda. Once again, she made a beeline


    for Coralie''s office.
