Chapter 48: Scared out of Wits
Yvette Quinn was really busy at work. In addition to her work, there were some social engagements that overwhelmed her. Today was another business cocktail party, and this one was organized by an alliance of industries. Everyone was in the same industry, or related to it. This way, everyone could get what they needed when they attended such a cocktail party. There was no need to go out and get other clients. Whether it was for a large company or a small one, it was a very good opportunity.
Yvette Quinn participated and even brought two middle-ranking members of the company with her. She also wanted to find a better work opportunity here.
In addition to some big company presidents like Yvette Quinn, there were also some from small companies. This kind of cocktail party was an even more important opportunity for these small companies. If they could get to cooperate with any big company, it might allow their small companies to make a substantial leap.
Although Nadia Sawyer had a sharp tongue and looked down on people, she was only this way to those who she felt were incapable. However, people like Nadia Sawyer could grovel to those who were capable and would even rack their brains to please them. Therefore, she actually did well in the company. The company’s leader wanted to promote her and had given her the chance to attend this cocktail party.
Nadia Sawyer’s company was not big, and her assets were only about 10 million dollars. She knew that the people here were very important. She was all smiles. No matter who she walked to, she bowed to them first and then handed over her business card with both hands.
If William Scott saw this, he would definitely not believe that this was his high school classmate. He would not believe that it was that woman with an extremely vicious mouth.
Through her tireless efforts, Nadia Sawyer finally came into contact with a manager of a small company. That guy’s name was Trevor Kelley. He felt that Nadia Sawyer was quite good-looking. In addition, Nadia Sawyer deliberately flattered him, so he couldn’t help but feel a little smug. He started chatting with Nadia Sawyer.
Nadia Sawyer clinked glasses with Li Tiansheng. “Manager Kelley, you’re really knowledgeable. There’s nothing in our industry that you don’t know.”
Li Tiansheng smiled humbly. “I’ve been around for a long time, so I know a little more. If you want to talk about doing well, you’ve got to look at Lin Feng Corporation. Two years ago, the company was similar to mine, but in just two years, their assets have exceeded 100 million. From the looks of it, their assets will probably double this year. I’m so envious.”
“Lin Feng Corporation is so powerful.” Nadia Sawyer roughly knew about Lin Feng Corporation, but she had never had the chance to come into contact with it before.
Li Tiansheng nodded vigorously. “That’s right. What I admire the most is their boss. Their boss is only 24 or 25 years old, but she’s already leading a small company to such heights. She’s simply a genius in the business world.”
Nadia Sawyer also said longingly, “If I have the chance, I would like to meet the CEO of Lin Feng Corporation.”
“She’s here too, but she’s with those big shots. We have to wait for them to finish chatting before we can find a chance to hand over a business card or something.”
“Which one is it? Which one is it?” Nadia Sawyer glanced at the group of big shots gathered.
Li Tiansheng’s eyes lit up. “She’s too easy to recognize. She’s the youngest and most beautiful.”
Nadia Sawyer looked over. There were basically all men there. There were two women, but one of them was still very old. The other had her back facing her. Just looking at her back made her yearn for that person. She should be the CEO of Lin Feng Corporation that Li Tiansheng had mentioned. “Oh, then I have to take a good look later.”
Nadia Sawyer was really good at taking advantage of the situation. She had been walking around the area. When the big shots started to disperse, she immediately took a step forward and went straight to Yvette Quinn. She said excitedly, “Hello, CEO Quinn. I’m Nadia Sawyer from Huo Qing Firm. I hope CEO Quinn provide some guidance in the future.”
Yvette Quinn smiled and nodded. She took the business card from Nadia Sawyer and said, “You’re too kind. As long as both parties have something suitable for each other, there will be a chance to work together.”
At this moment, Nadia Sawyer was staring at Yvette Quinn, her face filled with fear.
Yvette Quinn frowned and said, “Ms. Sawyer, are you…” She had already seen the name tag. Nadia Sawyer was the manager’s assistant.
Nadia Sawyer took a step back and stammered, “CEO… CEO Quinn… I’m really sorry. I was disrespectful to you last time. Please forgive me. Please be magnanimous and not hold it against me. Don’t lower yourself to my level.”
Yvette Quinn was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that Nadia Sawyer must have recognized the wrong person. She must have thought that she was Xenia Lewis. However, she cursed in her heart. She didn’t know why Xenia Lewis had a conflict with her. This girl didn’t do anything serious for a day. It was really troublesome.
When Nadia Sawyer saw Yvette Quinn frown, she was even more scared out of her wits. If she offended Yvette Quinn, with Yvette Quinn’s status, her company would not have a good prospect in the future. Her company’s CEO would skin her alive.
“CEO Quinn! I was really wrong. I shouldn’t have looked down on William Scott. I was blind and didn’t see William Scott’s excellence. On account that William Scott is a classmate, please don’t take it to heart.”
“William Scott, your classmate?” Yvette Quinn originally felt that she had figured it out, but now she was suddenly confused.
“That’s right, that’s right. We were high school classmates. When we were in high school, we were still… close.” When Nadia Sawyer said this, she didn’t have the conviction. She looked down on William Scott and was afraid that this high school classmate would beg her and ask for help someday. Now that she saw that William Scott’s girlfriend was so powerful, she wanted to bring up the fact that they were classmates.
As for her relationship with William Scott, Yvette Quinn was really not afraid of others knowing about it. The more people knew about her relationship with William Scott, the fewer people would have designs on her. It would also reassure her parents. Therefore, she did not object at this time. She said, “Oh, since you’re all classmates, leave the past in the past. Anyway, I’ve always been a person who keeps my private matters separate. I still hope that your company will have something that can move me.”
This was a very formal answer. It was basically watertight.
Nadia Sawyer quickly said, “Thank you, CEO Quinn. Thank you, CEO Quinn. CEO Quinn is indeed a magnanimous person. I will definitely cherish the friendship between classmates in the future.”
“Okay, let’s talk again when we have time. I’ll go over there to take a look.” Yvette Quinn raised her wine glass.
“CEO Quinn, please go ahead.” Nadia Sawyer quickly moved aside.
Holding her wine glass, Yvette Quinn chatted with the people here from time to time, but she was thinking about something.
It was true that this Nadia Sawyer was William Scott’s classmate, but she said she had offended her before. However, this was definitely the first time she had met Nadia Sawyer. In other words, the person she had offended was Xenia Lewis. This also meant that William Scott and Xenia Lewis had been together when Nadia Sawyer offended them. What were these two doing together?
Yvette Quinn frowned unconsciously.
