Chapter 679

“Mr.

Howard, news just arrived that the CEO personally authorized the Cherish purchase and there’s currently no one overseeing it.

That’s why I made such a request.

Please…”

“Alright, I understand,” Emilio interjected kindly.

He smiled warmly at Lindsey.

“I’ll contact the CEO immediately to discuss this matter further.

”

“Really? Thank you so much,” Lindsey responded, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Kristy, positioned at a distance, stood utterly stunned.

Her immediate reaction was to confront Emilio.

“Mr.

Howard, why are you…”

Emilio shot her a piercing glare, causing Kristy to shrink back in fear.

She bit her lower lip in frustration, puzzled by Emilio’s continued attention toward Lindsey, who had already departed from Vitality Entertainment.

However, in Kristy’s mind, considering the CEO’s refusal to meet her, the possibility of him meeting Lindsey seemed implausible.

It would indeed be an extraordinary occurrence if that were to happen.

Stepping away, Emilio withdrew to the side, pulling out his phone to dial Domenic’s number.

“I summoned you here.

Why this sudden call?” came Domenic’s cold voice through the receiver.

Emilio spoke softly.

“Domenic, I’ve arrived, but guess who I encountered?”

A brief silence followed.

Impatience seeped into Domenic’s breath on the other end of the line.

Realizing he couldn’t toy around any longer, Emilio hastened to explain, “I met Lindsey.

”

On the other end, there was a discernible pause for a few moments before the voice queried, “Why is she here?”

Meanwhile, seated in his office, Domenic appeared more amiable.

“For the Cherish acquisition,” he responded.

“I’m hesitant to decide independently, so I’m seeking your counsel,” Emilio explained.

“Of course I can’t see her.

”

Although Emilio had expected this result, after getting a certain answer, he nodded.

“Okay, I’ll refuse her right away.

”

Emilio’s last sentence, spoken in a normal tone, reached both Kristy’s and Lindsey’s ears.

Upon hearing this, Kristy felt a surge of satisfaction.

She glanced at Lindsey with disdain.

“I already warned you.

With your status, the CEO won’t entertain you.

Even if Mr.

Howard personally assists, it’s futile.

”

“Wait!” Domenic’s sudden intervention interrupted Emilio.

“What’s wrong?” Surprised, Emilio paused just before hanging up the phone, holding it back to his ear.

Casually, Domenic remarked from the other end, “Let her wait in the reception room for now.

”

Emilio furrowed his brow in confusion.

He couldn’t grasp what was on Domenic’s mind.

Wasn’t Domenic concerned about revealing his identity to Lindsey? Why did Domenic suddenly want to meet her?

However, as Domenic had given the directive, Emilio felt compelled to comply, uttering a resigned, “Okay, I see.

”
