CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: THE OPPORTUNITY HE GAVE

MK.

Meeting Room.

Mavis hung up the phone and looked at the executives and major shareholders in the meeting room: "Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve all heard, she’s very confident."

"It seems there is still an opportunity for collaboration with Celestial Holdings."

The executive pondered: "I don’t know much about President Vaughn, but I am aware that there are no women around him. I don’t know how Miss Sterling is connected with him. Even investigations have yielded no information. All I can say is, don’t get your hopes too high and we need to prepare adequately."

Mavis didn’t say anything else, she looked towards the person sitting at the far end.

Brandon Donovan.

Under normal circumstances, Brandon Donovan wouldn’t be able to enter a meeting with major shareholders, not to mention an executive meeting.

If it weren’t for him mentioning this opportunity today, he probably wouldn’t even have a chance to meet the executive.

Seeing Mavis looking over, he immediately understood her intention and also recognized that such an opportunity was rare and not to be missed. He said, "On the day of the new product launch, we invited President Vaughn as a test subject to silence everyone."

"At that time, we all thought no one knew about the issue with the MK new device, but did anyone notice President Vaughn’s demeanor when Miss Sterling was on the call with him?"

"I later studied it carefully, and it seemed President Vaughn had already realized there was a problem with the MK new device, but perhaps because of Miss Sterling, he didn’t mention it."

"I only heard about President Vaughn, and they say he is decisive and has a unique vision, possessing a decisiveness many of us cannot reach, and he does not show any favoritism or leniency, which makes dealing with him quite difficult."

"But everyone has emotions and desires. President Vaughn is also human, and while he may be invincible in business, his personal feelings are uncertain."

"I specifically watched their demeanor during the phone call, especially the pause from President Vaughn after Miss Sterling said those words."

As Brandon Donovan spoke, he pressed the remote control in his hand, instantly displaying images from the scene of the new product launch on the screen.

Poe Vaughn looked at Ava Sterling.

"Please, everyone, pay close attention to President Vaughn’s gaze. I think at that time, President Vaughn was contemplating whether or not to speak up. Of course, with so many people present, he might have wanted to save face for us at MK, but judging by his usual approach, I don’t think it was for MK, but because of Miss Sterling."

"Moreover, everyone, look again. When Miss Sterling and President Vaughn exchanged glances, did you notice that they seem to recognize each other? President Vaughn’s gaze towards Miss Sterling was entirely different from the way he looks at us."

As Brandon Donovan was speaking, the screen clearly showed Poe Vaughn and Ava Sterling exchanging glances.

"This alone is not enough. Subsequently, when President Vaughn left the hotel, Miss Sterling had a subtle intimate interaction with a gentleman, and at that time, President Vaughn took another look at Miss Sterling."

"Is that the typical look President Vaughn gives us?"

"Also, earlier today, President Vaughn and Miss Sterling were seen at the same hotel. I managed to obtain the surveillance footage. Everyone take a look, did President Vaughn glance at Miss Sterling again? Pay attention to that gaze, is it really ordinary?"

Each image clearly appeared on the screen, zooming in on Poe Vaughn’s face, and everyone in the meeting room fell silent.

It seemed, indeed, to be the case...

Brandon Donovan said, "Of course, all of this is just my speculation, not certain, but just like our contract states, if Miss Sterling can make it work, that’s great. If not, there’s no problem, we are prepared on multiple fronts."

"However, there is one thing I can approximately confirm."

Upon hearing this, all the executives looked towards him.

Brandon Donovan said, "Last night, Justin Quinn called to say the collaboration is paused. It’s paused, not canceled. Doesn’t that mean there’s still a chance?"

"And this opportunity... besides Miss Sterling, who else could it be?"
