Chapter 88
Originally, the vice president was scheduled to give the presentation, but Bernard suddenly showed up,
so Jason had to speak personally
Bernard was very strict. During the presentation, even if one word was spoken incorrectly, it could
potentially disqualify them. from the bidding.
Jason couldn’t afford any mistakes, so he took over the vice president’s task at the last minute.
The vice president breathed a sigh of relief, while Jason had to organize all his thoughts within an hour.
To concentrate, he needed a strong coffee to wake him up, and only Eleanor could help with that.
Eleanor nodded and whispered, “Do we have enough time?”
Jason winked at her, “The Clowers Group is the 10th to present. We got time.”
Knowing about the schedule, Eleanor didn’t ask any further. She carefully got up, and walked toward
the backdoor of the
conference room.
She wasn’t familiar with The Laurence Group’s park. When she came out, she was surrounded by
high-tech products and not a single person in sight.

the building, but every place required a card for entrance.
She didn’t have one, so her only choice was to go back to the conference room and look for The
Laurence Group employees to help her.
As she was about to turn around, she saw Cedric walking in from outside the door.
Eleanor noticed him scanning his face at the door, and it opened.
For a moment, she almost sneaked out when the door opened, but luckily didn’t lose her senses.
Cedric saw her loitering at the entrance and didn’t plan to acknowledge her. He just passed by.
“Mr. Laurence, wait a moment…” Eleanor gathered her courage and stopped Cedric.
Cedric didn’t expect her to dare stop him, his face turned unpleasant, “Ms. Shultz, what do you want?”
He didn’t find it strange that Eleanor was here, but he found it surprising she stopped him, not knowing
what she wanted to do.
“Mr. Laurence, is there a place to make coffee around here?” Eleanor initially wanted Cedric to help
open the door, but when she saw his unhappy face, she changed her mind and only asked him where
to find coffee. She would find her way into the building.
Cedric tilted his head slightly, looking at the wall behind her, “Isn’t it right there?”
Eleanor turned her head and saw a white wall, looking confused.
Did Cedric belong to a different species and could thus see different things?
Cedric gave her a look, like she was dumb, walked up to the door and knocked on the wall. The door
opened automatically.
He then pointed to the letters on the wall, like scolding a primary school student, “Isn’t it written clearly
here? Don’t you know how to read?”
Eleanor struggled to respond, “I do.”
She was too anxious just now and didn’t notice the letters. Who would have thought the coffee room
was hidden behind a white wall?
Cedric saw her blush and couldn’t help but sneer, “Ms. Shultz, beauty is not enough. Knowledge is
important too. Clowers Group’s wouldn’t be so easy to get in.”
His sarcastic tone was just like Bernard’s. They indeed were brothers.
Eleanor ignored Cedric, walked into the coffee room, chose a high concentration coffee bean, and put it
in the coffee grinder.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric wasn’t in a hurry to leave now, standing at the door, measuring her figure up and down, “You
indeed look pretty. No wonder Jason likes you. However, compared to my sister, you still lack some
temperament.”
Eleanor had seen Sigrid’s photos online. True, she inherited The Laurence Group’s excellent genes,
but she wasn’t competing with
them.
However, this shouldn’t be said by her. What was the use of looking good? In the end, everyone would
end up six foot under.

Her silence bored Cedric, “Why don’t you speak?”
Eleanor looked up at him, “Mr. Laurence, thank you for showing me where the coffee room is.”
Cedric was puzzled, “That’s it?”
He thought that after he mocked her, she would be too ashamed to stay here, but she didn’t put his
provocation into
consideration.
“Mr. Laurence, what do you want?” Eleanor put down the freshly brewed coffee, and carefully stared at
Cedric.
