Chapter 940
After the two had come to an agreement, Zach took Sylvia out to the entrance.
Jacob was standing guard waiting for her and the moment he saw her, he ran up to her and nervously
inspected her up and down, worried that something had happened to her while she was gone.
Sylvia smiled and reassured him. “I’m fine, I just took a lap inside.”
Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Madam, do you want to go anywhere else?”
“No, let’s go back to the hotel.”
“Okay.”
Inside the penthouse suite of the hotel.
Both Cliff and Peter were standing by the entrance to the study with their backs perched straight and at
attention.
The door was closed. Not a word coming from inside the study could be heard.
Meanwhile, the two men were seated by a tea table inside the
study.
Both of them sat on a leather-bound chair, facing each other.
There were two tea cups as well as a sheet of letter of collaboration set on the table.
Odell briefly stated his options and expectations concerning their collaboration.
John listened attentively and at last, remarked with a smile. “As expected of Master Carter, the leader
of the renowned Carter Corporation. You’ve raised some very concise and good points. I’ll have my
team review the points you’ve made and make changes accordingly.”
Odell nodded and took a sip from his cup.
John followed suit and took a sip of tea as well, then he suddenly asked, “I heard that you came here
with your wife. How come she’s not around?”
“She went to tour the city.”
“I see, there are many fascinating destinations in Glanchester . I’ll appoint an experienced tour guide to
take your wife around the city so she can get the best experience possible during her time here.”
“No need for the trouble. I’ll just go with her and explore on our own.”
John smiled and stated, “It seems like you two get along even better than I thought.”
Odell smiled softly and turned to him. “Master Stockton, you’re around the same age as me, aren’t
you? Aren’t you going to look for a wife of your own sometime soon?”
John seemed to falter at the mention of this. After a few seconds of silence, he stated solemnly, “I’m
not interested in that at the moment.”
“You’re not interested in women either?”
“Oh, I’m just like any other man, of course, I’m attracted to women.”
“Is that so? Are you dating anyone currently?”
“I wouldn’t call it a girlfriend.” Something cold gleamed in his eyes for a split instant before he
remarked, “It’s just casual.”
Odell picked up his teacup and took a sip.
“Master Carter, do you have anything to add to this agreement?”
“None for the moment.”
“Alright.” He added with a smile. “There’s going to be a party that my mother is hosting at my home
tomorrow afternoon. She heard that you came to Glanchester and specifically instructed me to invite
you as well. Are you free tomorrow by any chance?”
Odell considered for a moment and asked, “What time does it start?”
“Three o’clock.”
“I believe I should be able to make it.”
“Perfect, see you tomorrow afternoon then.”
“Alright.”
John did not linger much longer and promptly left after that.
Meanwhile, Sylvia just got out of the car and entered the hotel.
She went to the elevator.
Ding!
The elevator door opened shortly after and two handsome young men in suits walked out.
The man who seemed the superior of the two wore a dark green suit. He was tall and built like an
Olympian. Despite his handsome and gentle features, he seemed to exude a sinister aura that was a
sharp contrast to his appearance. It had a way of intimidating others around him.
Sylvia glanced at him, then the person standing behind him quickly caught her eyes.
She was taken aback. “Peter?”
Peter smiled politely at her. “Hello there, Mrs. Carter.”
Hearing this, John took a closer look at Sylvia.
He smiled politely at her.
Sylvia felt a strange, oppressive feeling looming atop her when he smiled at her.
She made a point of smiling back at him to keep up appearances, then she walked into the elevator.
The elevator doors shut quickly after that.
