CHAPTER 357: CHAPTER 191: RANRAN, YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND IS HERE TO PICK YOU UP 4

The elevator door opened, revealing Lisa Cecily with a face full of concern.

Jason Wood looked at Lisa Cecily’s anxious expression, wanting to laugh, but quickly put on a worried façade.

The entire company had become lifeless...

With her head down, Lisa Cecily followed Howard Geoffrey into the CEO’s office.

Howard Geoffrey sat on the only sofa in the office, leisurely asking, "Did the board say anything today?"

"The board didn’t say much this morning, but... I heard many directors are selling off their shares fearing further stock decline."

Howard Geoffrey looked at a pot of green plants on the coffee table, calmly said, "Lisa Cecily, go make me a cup of coffee!"

Lisa Cecily, surprised at Howard Geoffrey’s calm demeanor to have coffee at this critical moment, muttered, "CEO, the fire’s at the doorstep..."

Jason Wood hurriedly said, "Just go as told, no need for all the talk."

Lisa Cecily glared at Jason Wood, but reluctantly walked out of the office.

Jason Wood immediately took out the office remote and turned on the large LCD screen connected to the computer.

On the TV screen, it showed the shareholdings and sell-off status of major "Skytop" shareholders.

Apart from the shares owned by Howard Geoffrey, the sell-off status of all other shareholders changed but not notably, not as if being acquired...

Jason Wood looked at the LCD screen, suspiciously said, "Boss, could that old woman not be acquiring? There’s no movement here at all."

Howard Geoffrey glanced at the screen coolly, "Where’s all the calmness I’ve taught you gone?"

Jason Wood awkwardly admitted, "Just worried about changes at this critical juncture."

"Let’s wait and see!"

"Hmm."

At this moment, Lisa Cecily came in from outside with a cup of coffee.

Lisa Cecily carefully placed the coffee in front of Howard Geoffrey, "Sixty degrees water, half a sugar."

Howard Geoffrey looked at the coffee for a long time before taking a small sip.

He rarely drank coffee, more frequently accompanied by red wine when thinking.

Seeing Howard Geoffrey frown, Lisa Cecily asked tentatively, "CEO, doesn’t it taste good?"

Howard Geoffrey shook his head, "It’s not bad, just that I’ve had better coffee."

Suddenly wanting coffee was because he thought of her...

He still remembered when he and Robinson visited "Oversky" for the Gold Coast project; she was then Skyler Jones’s secretary. He distractedly talked about the project with Robinson and Skyler Jones, but his attention lingered on her.

She made each of them a cup of coffee; it was the first time he felt coffee was delicious.

As time passed, with her by his side, he forgot to ask her to make it again until today he recalled and impulsively asked his secretary to make a cup, but it couldn’t compare to hers.

Lisa Cecily discontentedly said, "You just don’t like coffee; my brewing skills are top-notch."

Howard Geoffrey smiled lightly, "Then go make another cup, a guest will arrive soon."

"Okay."

After Lisa Cecily left, Howard Geoffrey casually said, "Contact Mr. Jones, I want to know where he is now."

"Yes." Jason Wood then took out his phone and dialed Skyler Jones’s number.

Suddenly, Jason Wood reported, "Boss, Mr. Jones’s phone isn’t connecting."

"Not connecting?"

A layer of thought crossed Howard Geoffrey’s brow.

Jason Wood kept watching the LCD screen closely until near noon when the screen finally showed changes.

The shares deliberately sold by Howard Geoffrey had been swiftly acquired, and shares sold by several shareholders were also bought...

"Boss, there’s activity."

Howard Geoffrey put down the financial magazine in his hand, his gaze swept to the LCD screen in front.

Jason Wood, after worrying all morning, finally showed a victorious smile, "’M’ finally fell for the boss’s plan!"

At this moment, the corners of Howard Geoffrey’s mouth lifted into an almost imperceptible smile.

It was then that Lisa Cecily came in, respectfully said, "CEO, there’s a woman downstairs who wants to see you."

Upon hearing "woman," Howard Geoffrey slowly narrowed his eyes, the light in them took on a crafty and dangerous glint.

Jason Wood answered for Howard Geoffrey, "Secretary Cecily, bring her in!"

"Yes."

Lisa Cecily then left.

Jason Wood stared coldly at the doorway, his eyes full of tension and anticipation of a showdown.

Suddenly, under the protection of three bodyguards, a well-maintained woman who appeared to be only in her forties appeared before Howard Geoffrey and Jason Wood.
