My Fabulous Girl Boss

Chapter 17

After the birthday party, Hugh and his family went to the Shengville Hotel.

Daniel’s secretary, Harry, had been waiting for them downstairs and quickly approached them when he saw them entering the lobby. “Mr. Wolfenden Sr.!” Harry smiled warmly.

“Harry!” Hugh extended a hand. Harry shook it briefly and told him with a smile, “Mr. Chappell is already waiting upstairs. I’ll take you to him.”

“Sure, thank you!”

Hugh was a little anxious and excited. In the presidential suite, Room 2002… As Harry led them in, they saw a poised middle-aged man with graying sideburns. He was Daniel Chappell, the man who could decide who would receive the Dickinson International project! “Mr. Wolfenden Sr., I’ve long heard of you!”

Hugh went up to him promptly. “Mr. Chappell, sorry to keep you waiting!”

“No worries. Come, have a seat.”

Hugh and his family were reserved. Daniel was a notable man in Springside, and there was no way they could meet him without connections. “It’s getting late, so I’ll skip the courtesies. After all, I’ve heard you’re not doing well healthwise and need to rest early.”

“It’s not a big deal!”

Daniel chuckled and went straight to the point. “Dickinson International isn’t a big project. It’s no trouble to make it an internal decision to give it to you. “Nonetheless, this is an open tendering project, so the procedures will have to be followed.”

Hugh spoke up quickly. “Of course, we understand!”

“That’s good. There’s basically no issue about this then. Don’t forget to make a trip to Springside for the tendering then, Mr. Wolfenden.”

“Of course not, don’t worry, Mr. Chappell.” Liam was immensely thrilled right now as well. They had worked hard for too long in order to get the project.

Daniel nodded and lifted his arm to glance at his watch. Hugh got up and said, “Thank you for going through the trouble, Mr. Chappell. We’ll thank you properly when we’re in Springside.”

Daniel smiled without providing any response.

Hugh looked hesitant before he gnashed his teeth and probed. “Mr. Chappell, do you mind

disclosing who contacted Mr. Tinsley Sr. for me?

He asked to figure out who had helped speak for him to Tyrone. Daniel was taken aback before chortling. “Mr. Tinsley has only told me to give the project to you. He didn’t mention anything else.

“There are plenty of eyes on Dickinson International. It was decided to be given to the Gillete Group, but you’re pretty good for making Mr. Tinsley speak on your behalf. “What’s the matter? You don’t know who you’ve asked help from?” Daniel was confused as well. Jeremy had called him personally to tell him this. Had the Wolfendens not pulled any strings? Liam spoke up. “My father asked Mr. Johnson Zigler.” “Johnson Zigler?” Daniel paused and frowned, “Impossible Johnson’s quite influential in Clouspring, but to have Mr. Tinsley get involved in a perry project like Dickinson International? He’s not yet qualified.”

The Wolfendens were stunned The Zigler father and son had not helped? What was going on!?
