Chapter 53: This Woman Brings Prosperity to Her Husband
CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: THIS WOMAN BRINGS PROSPERITY TO HER HUSBAND
Soon, in the luxurious presidential suite, Mr. Mark and Adrian Lancaster sat together, with an age gap of two cycles between them, yet their aura was equally matched.
A rosewood tea table separated them, with freshly brewed Earl Grey Tea wafting its fragrance, the arrangement of the tea set was also very elegant.
The two project leaders sat on Adrian Lancaster’s left and right, while Mr. Mark’s aide stood beside him, ready to assist at any moment.
Faye Turner knew they were going to discuss work, so she deliberately distanced herself and sat in an armchair by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Basking in the sunlight streaming through the window, she casually picked up a newspaper and flipped through it, sitting about three or four meters away, half listening to the conversation.
Being unfamiliar with business matters, this was the first time Faye had been in such close proximity, and it felt quite serious.
After listening for about half an hour, it seemed like—
Adrian Lancaster was eager to collaborate with Mr. Mark, but Mr. Mark simply saw Prestige Group as one of his potential partners.
His visit to Argent would last a month, during which he planned to evaluate all the companies he deemed worthy of consideration and meet all the responsible parties.
So even though Prestige Group was the first to pick him up, he wouldn’t immediately designate Prestige as his collaborator.
And Adrian Lancaster continued to strive for this matter, sharing his company’s advantages.
Faye’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly; she could sense how important this project was to Adrian Lancaster and therefore to Prestige Group.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to inquire about Mr. Mark’s preferences, even finding out about a small dessert.
"Mr. Mark, we have come up with ten specific project proposals, hoping you can take a look when you have time."
Adrian Lancaster spoke with composure, but Faye knew he was suppressing a sense of urgency, instinctively wanting to help him.
The person in charge beside him stood up, bent down, and handed over a thick document with both hands, reflecting the collective effort of many people.
Mr. Mark, deep in thought, gestured, prompting an aide to bypass the sofa and accept the document.
"Rest assured, Mr. Lancaster, I will consider it." Mr. Mark, having eaten four desserts, picked up his teacup and smiled slightly, "You even brought Faye over, which shows you’ve indeed put your heart into this. Yes, I was eager for the desserts she personally made. It’s been a very pleasant day, satisfying both my appetite and mind."
Upon hearing this, Faye turned her gaze slightly, noticing Mr. Mark smiling warmly at her. She reciprocated with a gentle smile, putting down the newspaper and standing up.
"Uncle." Faye walked toward him.
All eyes in the presidential suite were on her, dressed in a pink spaghetti-strap long dress with a knitted shoulder wrap.
The skin exposed at her neck was fair and delicate; under the backlight, when her lips curled into a faint smile, she was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.
"Since Prestige Group is within your consideration and their company has great qualifications in all aspects, could you perhaps finalize the project on my behalf?" She stood beside Mr. Mark, looking at him with a gentle smile.
Adrian Lancaster was slightly stunned, lifting his gaze to look at her, something deep and intense gathering in his eyes.
Mr. Mark looked up, his gaze warm, not interrupting the girl’s words as she continued—
"Prestige Group is currently the best developing company in Argent; President Lancaster has unique foresight and precise future predictions. You haven’t had the chance to work with him yet, so you might not feel the excellence of this company. But surely you’ve heard of it? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be on your list."
Mr. Mark silently appraised her, asking, "Faye, why are you so eager to recommend Prestige Group?"
Because it’s my family’s company!
Any profits made would be marital assets!
Half of it belongs to me!
Faye sensed an opportunity, so she simply sat down beside him, smiling as she replied—
