Chapter 408
Beyond the Divorce
Itâs All Set in Stone Now âYeah, Rory is a man of integrity. Take your time going through these,â Grayson instructed, concerned about me. âChlo, you should rest for a while. I have an appointment to attend.â
I asked him, âOh, I need to go to Solaris in the next day or two. Do you have anything on your schedule?â
He replied, âWell, if possible, Iâd like to go with you. I want to introduce you to a client, I think you need to meet this person.â
âOkay, Iâll tell you when I plan to leave, and you can tell me more about this person on the way,â I said to Grayson.
Just then, Carol arrived with the painkillers. Seeing Grayson, she said, âThereâs a report you need to sign.â
âSure.â
âOh⦠Chloe, we have an appointment with ATL Empire at 10 oâclock. You rest first, but we should leave soon,â Carol reminded me.
I quickly took the medicine from her, swallowed a pill, and drank water.
Grayson told Carol to bring the report for him to check. After signing it, he handed it to me. âThis is the finances for Hartz Construction. Chloe, you can take a look.â
Carol checked the time and said, âChloe, we should leave now.
I locked all the documents in my drawer and then grabbed my bag. Then, I left the office with Carol and Grayson, heading straight for ATL Empire. On the way, Carol asked, âChloe, are you feeling better?
You donât look well.â
âIâm fine. Maybe I just didnât get enough rest,â I casually replied.
âIn that case, go home and rest after signing the contract,â Carol suggested, âI can take you to Arkadial Spa to relax. Youâve been too tense lately. Your injury is only healing, yet youâre running around so much.
âYou must take better care of yourself. Ryan is doing great now. You still have us, so please take it easy.â
Carol understood me well. We had even developed an unspoken understanding. She genuinely cared for 1. me.
âCarol, Iâd like to take it easy but canât. It might be better if our operations are on track, but itâs a critical time for Tanum Corporation, Ryanâs taking care of everything, and I must support him. Weâll be fine once we reach the top.
Carol sighed, âChloe, I know you. Even if we reach a higher level, you will still be handsâon. You just donât know how to enjoy life.â
I could only smile bitterly.
Everyone waited in the small conference room when we arrived at ATL Empire. The new head of the project team, Bruce Chapman, was enthusiastic. I hadnât met him before, though. He told his secretary, Inform Mr. Atlas about Ms. Chloeâs arrival,â
My heart skipped a beat, and I couldnât help but wonder why Atlas also had to attend. Soon after, Atlas entered the small conference room with Dylan.
He went straight to the main seat and glanced at me. He furrowed his brows and asked, âMs. Chloe, are you unwell?â
I instinctively rubbed my temple and replied, âIâm fine. Itâs just a headache. Itâs not a big deal.â
He looked at me severely, then told everyone, âLetâs begin.â
Bruce was efficient as he explained the naming rights we were preparing for as part of our longâterm cooperation. He also put forward several stringent requirements. I carefully analyzed each point, and it seemed that there wouldnât be clashes with Tanum Corporationâs operations.
Then Atlas also discussed this contract with me and explained the requirements and areas that needed. cooperation. Finally, both sides confirmed and signed the contract. I sighed in relief after finally settling.
this matter.
It seemed my headache was terrible. When the meeting ended, Atlas said, âMs. Chloe, come to my office.
I need to confirm something with you.â
Afterward, he got up and left with Dylan, giving some instructions to the latter.
I was puzzled, wondering what Atlas wanted with me and why we couldnât discuss it here instead of going to his office. Still, he seemed severe.
I whispered to Carol, âWait for me in the car. Iâll be right down.â
Then, I left the small conference room and went to the top floor via the elevator. I realized Atlasâs secretary was not at the door when I arrived. I had to knock, and I heard Atlasâs response from inside.
When I was about to enter, someone pulled me in further and embraced me.
