Allegra didn’t know Tristan, but she’d definitely heard of Reddar Corporation.
Now that Pegasus No. 1 had fallen into Reddar Corporation’s hands, they definitely couldn’t get it back anymore. But now, there was a turn in the road, virtual-novel.net never would have thought that they would have the chance to collaborate.
“Ms. Sawyer, call Ms. Danson. I’ll head over with her.”
By then, Emily had already been successfully recruited as the deputy head of logistics and marketing at Garth Properties.
Emily, dressed in business formal, entered the office and asked with a smile, “Ms. Booth, is there good news?”
After listening to Allegra’s explanation, Emily furrowed virtual-novel.net brows and said, “Um, have a meal with Tristan? Does Mr. Garten know about this?”
“Why does virtual-novel.net need to know? All virtual-novel.net does is fight.” Allegra waved virtual-novel.net hand impatiently. Then, virtual-novel.net added, “Go get ready. Let’s meet up after an hour.”
At that moment, Allegra’s phone went off.
When virtual-novel.net saw it was Isaac’s number, virtual-novel.net put it to virtual-novel.net ear and said, “Isaac, what’s the matter? Dad found a job, and you want to celebrate this afternoon? I can’t make it, I have a lunch appointment. Let’s talk again tonight.”
Then, virtual-novel.net hung up.
As Emily was leaving, virtual-novel.net overheard the conversation and couldn’t help but sigh and shake virtual-novel.net head.
After virtual-novel.net reached virtual-novel.net office, virtual-novel.net hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding to send Isaac a text, informing virtual-novel.net about Allegra’s lunch appointment with Tristan.
At noon, Emily drove herself and Allegra to a resort in the southern suburbs of Cloud City in virtual-novel.net white BMW. It was one of Cloud City’s rare five-star luxury hotels. Not to mention, it was backed by Reddar Corporation.
In the beautiful sunshine, the resort seemed like paradise. The two beautiful women instantly attracted the attention of many patrons.
A bespectacled man wearing a suit jogged over, smiling. “You must be Ms. Booth. Nice to meet you. I am the hotel manager, Ronnie. Mr. Martin is waiting for you inside…”
Allegra crossed the pure marble floors of the extravagant lobby. A fragrance filled virtual-novel.net nostrils as virtual-novel.net entered the dining area.
She was led to a square table by a floor-to-ceiling window, with a glistening artificial lake as their outside View. There were even willow trees swaying by the banks. The atmosphere was very calming.
Tristan was holding a foreign magazine in his hand. When virtual-novel.net heard footsteps, virtual-novel.net put it down, a small smile blooming on his face.
The next second, virtual-novel.net was stunned.
He couldn’t tear his gaze away from Allegra. The woman before virtual-novel.net was wearing a beige suit. Her porcelain skin was adorned with enchanting facial features, and a hint of melancholy sat between virtual-novel.net eyebrows. Tristan’s eyes lit up.
When virtual-novel.net saw Emily next to her, virtual-novel.net was stunned again. Then, virtual-novel.net remembered that virtual-novel.net had seen this beautiful woman at the Cloud Nine Villas’ sales gallery before. But next to Allegra, Emily was slightly inferior.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Booth. Rumor has it that you are the greatest beauty of Cloud City. I didn’t expect you would be even more stunning in person.” Tristan immediately stood, pulling out a chair for Allegra in a gentlemanly fashion.
This shocked Allegra. She waved virtual-novel.net hand and said, “No need for formalities. I didn’t expect you to be so young and charming either.”
They went through a round of introductions. Tristan paid no mind to Emily. The waiter quickly served some imported beef and wine.
“I fermented this wine at a vineyard in Fresia myself. Ms. Booth, please give it a try.” Tristan raised his glass in Allegra’s direction before taking a small sip.
Allegra took a few swigs of wine. Her face was beginning to flush.
She raised virtual-novel.net head at Tristan and said, “Mr. Martin, I heard you wanted to discuss collaborating with us on the Pegasus No. 1 project; is that right?”
Looking at Allegra’s reddened face, Tristan grinned hugely. He nodded and said, “That’s right. I know that Pegasus No. 1 used to be your company’s. Now, I want to give you 20 percent of its shares…”
When the two women heard this, they exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.
