Mr. Lee paused, his hand still on the desk, silent. He hadn’t expected Le, who was usually so efficient, to confront him like this.


    Thinking of the projects Le had in her hands, he suppressed his displeasure and softened his tone slightly. “Ultimately, this kind of incident being spread outside isn’t good for thepany.”


    Le responded, “That’s why thepany should issue a statement condemning Mr. Knox’s misconduct, sounding the rm for other colleagues with simr intentions, and preventing such incidents from happening again.”


    It was interrupted by a phone call.


    ncing at the iing call notification on his phone screen, Mr. Lee’s eyes flickered as he answered, “Mr. Brown, what brings you to call me?”


    As the conversation unfolded, Mr. Lee nced at Le and chuckled, “Yes, yes, Le is under my leadership.”


    After hanging up, Mr. Lee turned to Le. He remained silent for a moment before asking with a meaningful smile, “Le, are you close with Mr. Ramirez?”


    From banging the table and ring moments ago, Mr. Lee now wore a pleasant expression, but there was something behind his words.


    Le hesitated for a moment, not understanding how Mr. Brown’s call could be rted to Mason.


    Seeing her silence, Mr. Lee didn’t press further. He smiled and walked over to the water dispenser, pouring a ss for Le. He handed it to her and said, “You need to change your approach. You’re too impulsive.”


    Le reached for the ss. “Thank you, Mr. Lee.”


    “If you encounter simr situations in the future, let me know. I don’t mind the trouble, but it’s hard to exin to the higher-ups.”


    Le nodded. “I’m sorry for the trouble.”


    Mr. Lee waved his hand. “You’ve been wronged in this matter. Don’t worry, thepany will give you an exnation.”


    “Thank you.”


    Mr. Lee nodded. “Alright, get back to work.”


    As Le reached the door, Mr. Lee called out, “Le.”


    She turned back. “Yes, Mr. Lee, is there anything else?”


    Mr. Lee grinned. “Mr. Brown just mentioned that he has a project he wants to hand over to us. It’s in East City. Coordinate with them to finalize the details and make the trip.”


    “Got it.”


    Back at the project department, Le first made a call to Ascend Group to coordinate and confirm the travel time for Friday. After a moment of thought, she dialed Mr. Brown’s number to express her gratitude.


    Mr. Brown didn’t seem surprised at all to receive her call. “You are wee, you help mest night.”


    He was referring to her apanying Mason to the drinking session.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Le chuckled, “Thank you, nheless.”


    Mr. Brown replied casually, “No big deal. Le, I have a meeting to attend now. Let’s catch up another time when you’re free.”


    “Sure, Mr. Brown.”


    Le thought to herself that Mr. Brown didn’t mention Mason, perhaps she was just overthinking?


    But reality proved otherwise. Because when she went on her business trip on Friday, she encountered Mason again.


    In the meeting room, he lounged with his legs crossed, leaning back in his chair, appearing nonchnt. However, everyone present couldn’t ignore his presence.


    Perhaps sensing Le’s confusion, the person sitting next to her, one of the Ascend Group project department, whispered, “Mr. Ramirez is the main investor for our project.”


    Le was surprised by the exnation.


    Extending a friendly hand under the table, the person introduced herself, “I’m Cindy, Shirley’s neighbor.”


    Upon hearing that Cindy knew Shirley, Le smiled and shook hands with her. “Nice to meet you.”


    Cindy, one of the heads of the project department for this assignment, was in her early thirties.


    After a meeting, several responsible persons from the East City project were thoroughly intimidated by Mason’s unreasonable demands.


    Especially the head of the project.


    “Mr. Ramirez, do you have any good suggestions?”


    Mason remained expressionless, his voice cold. “I’m the investor. Are you asking me for suggestions?”


    The head of the project awkwardly chuckled, not daring to speak again.


    The meeting reached an impasse. Mason tossed the documents he was holding onto the conference table. “By this time tomorrow, I want to see a satisfactory n.”


    With that, he stood up and strode out of the room.


    After a brief silence in the conference room, the head of the project turned to Le with a smile,  “Miss Patel, looks like we’ll need you to stay a bit longer.”


    With the first and second parties noting to an agreement, the third party like her would have to wait, naturally.


    Le smirked and replied, “No problem. Gives me a chance to explore East City.”
