Thinking of this, Trey\u2019s anticipation grew. He was eager to see how Khloe would handle Angela, and how she would deal with him. There was no love between them-but there had to be hate. Angela was led into the VIP reception room by Morrison Group staff. She had arrived an hour earlier than scheduled. Ethan had yet to appear. The assistant called Ethan, but he didn\u2019t pick up. At that moment, Ethan was just getting out of bed at the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>His phone vibrated nearby, but he ignored it and headed straight to the bathroom: After leaving Charlotte\u2019s place last night, he had drunk at a bar all night. Now, his whole body ached miserably. Only after a long, cold shower did he finally wake up enough to check his phone. He sent a message to have the company staff receive Angela and said he would arrive shortly. \u2014- After hanging up, Ethan glanced at the message screen again. All night, Charlotte had stayed silent-no signs, no moves. By now, his emotions had calmed.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His mind raced, realizing Charlotte\u2019s likely motive for taking his phone. Everything on his phone was related to Solara Energy\u2019s collaboration project. But even if she saw the project, everything was perfectly above board. What could she really do? Knock knock- Angela had just finished a call with Barney when she saw movement at the door. Assuming Ethan had arrived so quickly, she hurried to open it. Instead, a stranger stood there. The woman had a cool, sharp beauty, radiating a fierce presence. The moment Angela opened the door, she strode inside confidently.<\/p>\n<p>The room was empty except for Angela and the spread of documents on the table. Since it was still early, the Solara \u2014- Energy representatives who had accompanied her had gone outside. \u201cYou must be Angela?\u201d Winnie sized Angela up for a few seconds, then sat down directly across from her. Angela glanced around, noticing only one person was present. She frowned. \u201cWho are you? Isn\u2019t Mr. Morrison here yet?\u201d \u201cOh, you mean Ethan? The only Morrison | recognize is the heiress of the Morrison family and Morrison Group.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s out at the moment, so Ethan attended to you instead.\u201d Winnie didn\u2019t directly answer Angela\u2019s question. Her gaze flicked to Angela with unhidden disdain. From what Charlotte had told her, Angela and Trey were despicable-sickening in the way they treated others emotionally, and now, stealing Khloe\u2019s research data to collaborate with Morrison Group? What kind of boss did Solara Energy have to find this kind of woman acceptable? Winnie\u2019s temper flared instantly. If Charlotte hadn\u2019t told her to ignore it, she would have already wanted to give this pair of scoundrels a piece of her mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014- Coincidentally, she had just received a call from Michael, asking her to keep an eye on Angela and Ethan-delay the two of them for a little while. It turned out Khloe and Michael had contacted each other that morning. Michael was on his way to Morrison Group to represent Khloe at the signing. \u201cI see\u2026 so, Miss Olson, you were sent here by Miss Morrison\u2026\u201d Angela began. \u201cI\u2019m here to accompany you on behalf of Ethan,\u201d Winnie interrupted. She leaned forward slightly. \u201cAngela, have you eaten lunch yet? It\u2019s around mealtime.<\/p>\n<p>Tea alone isn\u2019t enough, right?\u201d Angela sensed the hostility in Winnie\u2019s tone, but this was the Morrison Group. Though confused, she didn\u2019t want to stir up trouble. \u201cNo, it\u2019s fine. I\u2019ll eat after finishing work. You don\u2019t need to worry, Miss Olson. You should focus on your own tasks.\u201d \u201cThat won\u2019t do,\u201d Winnie said firmly. \u201cI can\u2019t just leave a VIP guest unattended. My treat-let\u2019s go get something to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
