Chapter 93 Florence's Confession

Chapter 93 Florence's Confession

Florence lost the clue.

She sat in the car in despair, and Audrey didn't know how to comfort her.

"Florence, maybe it's the will of heaven. Don't be discouraged. As long as he is still alive, we will find him."

Florence took a deep breath, feeling an indescribable sense of upset and relaxation.

Yes, maybe it was really the will of heaven.

At this moment, Florence's cell phone rang. It was Nora who called, "Florence, why haven't you come to work yet? There's a meeting in half an hour. We're all waiting for your data."

Reminded of that, Florence replied apologetically, "Ms. Walker, I'm sorry. I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Florence didn't bother to look for the children anymore. She said to Audrey, "Audrey, take me to the headquarters of the Logan Group."

How could she forget such an important meeting?

Audrey heard their conversation and said, "Okay. It will take at most half an hour to the company, so we won't be late."

Audrey's driving skill was beyond doubt.

While working, Florence was totally different.

When she arrived at the company, she hurried to take the elevator and happened to meet William who was coming out of the president's exclusive elevator.

"Ms. Scott, why are you in a hurry?" William was curious.

"There are only three minutes to the meeting, and the data is still on my computer," Florence said while panting as she ran here after getting out of the car.

William smiled and said, "The meeting has been postponed for 20 minutes, so you don't have to be in such a hurry. By the way, take this elevator. It won't stop in the middle stairs."

Florence had taken the president's exclusive elevator once, so she didn't mind taking it a second time.

"Thank you, Mr. James."

Even though the meeting was postponed for 20 minutes, Florence was in a hurry because she had to do some preparation work.

After Florence took the elevator, William called Alexander and said, "I just met Ms. Scott. She was in such a hurry, so I told her that the meeting was postponed for 20 minutes..."

In the president’s office...

Alexander hung up the phone and said to the secretary beside him, "Emily, notify them that the meeting will be delayed for 20 minutes."

"Yes, sir." Emily immediately carried out the order.

...

Florence hurried to her seat, took a sip of water, turned on the computer, and quickly sorted out the information.

Nora came over, "Florence, don't worry. The meeting has been postponed for 20 minutes. It will start at half past ten."

"Okay, I see." Florence smiled apologetically, "Ms. Walker, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It doesn't matter. Next time, if you have something to do, tell me or send me the data in advance."

"OK."

Florence sorted out the information and followed Nora into the conference room. Then the company's senior management came in one after another.

Steven and his father Kingston also came, followed by Maxwell.

It seemed that it was not an ordinary meeting.

Florence sat in the last row where was relatively inconspicuous. However, she could still feel someone was looking at her, which made her very uncomfortable.

It was Steven.

Florence also looked at him directly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Steven smiled at Florence and nodded as if they had a good relationship.

Then Florence didn't look at him anymore.

Maxwell, who was sitting on the left, looked at Florence and then at Steven. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Except for the first one, every seat was occupied.

Alexander hadn't come yet.

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.

Emily pushed Alexander in. The atmosphere in the entire conference room instantly became very tense.

It was invisibly breathtaking.

Alexander glanced coldly at everyone present and said coldly, "Let's start."

Following Alexander's order, the head of the sales department immediately stepped onto the stage and began to report on the Lubero Bay project.

"The first round of the Lubero Bay project has ended, and the second round will be launched..."

While listening, Florence was a little distracted. Even though the temperature of the air conditioner in the office was not low, she still felt so cold, and her hands and feet were a little weak.

Florence clenched her fists tightly, trying to resist the discomfort in her body.

"Florence, you will represent our group to report."

"Okay." Florence calmed down and stepped onto the stage.

Standing in front of the projector, Florence glanced at Alexander who was at the other side of the conference table.

Because of the lighting, she couldn't clearly see if the eyes under his mask were also looking at her.

Florence took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her state, and began to report.

The woman on the stage was so calm and confident. She was so charming that people present could not take their eyes off her.

Alexander crossed his hands, rubbing his thumbs back and forth gently. His eyes fell on Florence and never moved away.

Under the mask, his thin lips appeared a shallow arc.

Florence switched between several languages freely, and her voice was fair-sounding.

Looking at Florence on the stage, Maxwell's eyes dimmed. Florence was the brightest star in the sky, but he was not her sky.

Steven and Kingston secretly exchanged a few glances. When Florence finished reporting, Steven applauded, "Ms. Scott, it’s fantastic."

Then, the others looked at each other and also applauded with smiles, "It's really good."

Steven deliberately praised Florence to make others think that Florence was in his camp.

Florence glanced at Steven, then she smiled and bowed politely at everyone and walked down.

Alexander narrowed his eyes. Steven spoke again, "Alex, there is no problem with the Lubero Bay project. With your leading, all of us are assuring."

Alexander twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a bit of coolness, "Steven, how about your project in the western suburbs?"

Steven replied, "The construction team is dismantling. Once the orphanage is dismantled, the construction will start immediately."

Florence's heart tensed. Was the Angel Baby Orphanage a project of Steven?

With the hint from Alexander, Maxwell said, "Steven, you’re really resolute. I heard that there are many seriously ill children in the orphanage. How do you arrange them?"

"Don't worry, Maxwell. Every child has been properly arranged. All the sick children have been sent to the hospital for treatment." Steven smiled and looked at Alexander, "Alex, I think we should pay for these children…"

Steven wanted to use the company's money to do good deeds in his own name. The company would spend the money and Steven would get the reputation.

It was a really good scheme.

Alexander said calmly, "I'm so touched that you’re willing to use your money to help those children."

Maxwell echoed with a smile, "I heard that you have done a lot of good deeds over these years. You must be willing to help those children. I should thank you for the children in the orphanage."

Their words really embarrassed Steven.

Florence felt very uncomfortable, so she said to Nora in a low voice and went out from the back door.

Florence went directly to the washroom. As soon as her hand touched the water, she felt a lot of pain.

She also had a headache.

"Uncomfortable?"

A mellow voice suddenly came into her ears.

Looking at Alexander, Florence was very surprised, "Aren't you in the conference room? This is the women's washroom."

"I stopped the meeting." Alexander touched Florence's forehead, then his expression became solemn, "You have a fever."

When Florence left just now, Alexander noticed her and immediately stopped the meeting.

"Maybe it's because I was caught in the rain last night." Florence's felt groggy.

Every time she had a fever, her whole body hurt.

"I'll send you to have a rest."

Alexander lifted her and was about to walk out when he suddenly heard there were footsteps coming toward him.

Florence was a little nervous. She was not afraid that others saw Alexander and her in the washroom, but she was worried that Alexander's fake lameness would be exposed.

Florence pointed to a cubicle and lowered her voice, "Go inside and hide."

Florence's original intention was to let Alexander hide for a while, but unexpectedly, Alexander lifted her, and hid together. They were even sitting on the toilet.

Alexander was sitting on the toilet with her in his arms!

Florence never dared to think about the scene before.

The two squeezed into the cubicle together. Suddenly, Florence felt that the cubicle was so small that she had nowhere to stand.

Florence shivered coldly. Alexander's arms were so warm that she was attracted.

Just then, a colleague's voice came from outside.

"Does Steven like Florence?"
