Chapter 518
Chapter 519 The Sly Fox Our spot at the ship’s deck was nearly empty, and he held me close as he said, “This is like the Titanic. Come on, feel it.” His whispered words in my ear were tender and full of love. In his embrace, I felt incredibly happy, losing myself in the breathtaking view before us. I even forgot where I was for a moment.
I let out a joyful shout into the sea breeze, feeling a sense of lightness. It truly felt like we were flying on the sea at the front of the ship.
However, moments of bliss are often fleeting, and the golden hues of the I setting sun gradually disappeared over the horizon, leaving the sea in deep shades.
Checking the time, Atlas said, “It’s time to go. The opening ceremony is about to start.” – The main hall was packed with people, all smiling, eager, and excited. I couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed. This didn’t feel like a business gathering but more like a grand New Year’s celebration.
Nevertheless, I recognized many familiar faces. What surprised me most was the presence of Ivanna on board. It caught me off guard, and we exchanged greetings from a distance.
[ hadn’t carried my phone with me, so even if she had tried to notify me, I wouldn’t have seen it.
As Atlas’s companion, my attention was focused on handling every VIP he
introduced me to.
But what intrigued me the most was the presence of top figures from Bourdamun. It became clear to me that Atlas was paving the way for me.
I was genuinely interested in Bourdamun’s projects, but my inability to connect with their core figures had been a significant roadblock. I was quite unfamiliar with Bourdamun, and my network was limited. This time, we managed to get in touch with the key figures of their core projects. It seemed that he was serious when he said that he would help me.
Atlas playfully added, “Mr. Noah has major projects in his hands. The two of you can have a chat, and it could be a great opportunity for
cooperation.” I quickly caught onto his intention and set up a path for myself with a smile.
Atlas’s introduction was skillful, neither too pushy nor too discreet, creating a solid foundation for my conversations.
By the time the opening ceremony began, we had mingled enough to be considered familiar. Of course, my role as Atlas’s companion helped pave the way.
The opening ceremony was a lively affair with a buzzing crowd. The change of location made it feel distinctly different, and it seemed like we had entered a different dimension.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, I felt transported to an entirely new world, entirely different from the events on
land.
Arthur stayed close to Atlas 1 throughout, and he took notice of the interaction between Atlas and Mr.
Noah from Bourdamun, sensing a hint of significance in it.
Arthur, despite his status as a top figure, seemed preoccupied, given that tonight was his event. Consequently, everyone showed him the utmost respect. As for me, being Archie’s goddaughter, the dynamics were clear to someone as astute as him. He wouldn’t have trouble understanding the intricate
relationships at play here. Content
When Noah and Arthur raised their glasses, Atlas took me away, whispering softly, “Mr. Noah’s full name is Noah Kent. He’s the newly
appointed head of Bourdamun and
is trying to establish himself. So, don’t worry and wait for him to approach you. From there, the conversation will flow naturally.” Ilooked at Atlas, a hint of concern in
my eyes, and asked, “We won’t mess
it
up, right?” Atlas glanced at me
sideways and asked, “You have that
little faith in me?” “What does that
have to do with having faith in you?”
I was a bit puzzled, muttering
disdainfully under my breath.
“playing hard to get will change the dynamics.” He had the look of an old fox, slyly smiling at me.
In truth, I admired him from the
bottom of my heart. In the business world, this man was a seasoned trickster. He whispered in my ear, “If I fail, I’ll take care of you every night as punishment, but if I
succeed, you’ll have to rewarded.net
every day.” I blushed, feeling embarrassed with so many people around. He was getting too bold, and
I was seething with anger. Content
“Don’t push your luck. Atlas, you’re really out of line right now. I’m genuinely reconsidering my opinion of you.” I scowled at him, giving him a warning. Just then, someone approached us. He was a foreigner whom Atlas greeted in another language. I understood that this guest was also invited by Atlas. Seeing them engrossed in conversation, I discreetly moved away to find Ivanna. I spotted her with a middle-aged man, presumably her company’s boss. Just as I was about to approach her, someone blocked my path.
