Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 360: A Small Amount of Sedative

Strangely, Nora Northwood felt she hadn’t encountered Jade Lockwood in a similar setting for quite some time.

Finnian Lawrence approached, "Nora, let me introduce you to someone."

She knew well that anyone Finnian Lawrence would introduce her to must not be a simple character.

Next, she took a champagne glass from the tray held by the waiter, her actions very practiced.

"Miss Northwood, I’ve heard a great deal about you."

Nora was pleasantly surprised, never thinking she would one day be someone who was "heard a great deal about."

She displayed an extremely amiable smile and responded gracefully, "Mr. Dawson, it’s a great honor to personally experience your new series of products."

The person referred to as Mr. Dawson was the chief perfumer of the brand and held a certain influence in the industry.

"Next time we’re free, we can delve deeper into the allure of fragrances."

"Looking forward to it."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, then Mr. Dawson excused himself to attend to others.

Finnian Lawrence touched the dial on his wristwatch and said to Nora, "It’s almost time for the next segment, let’s return."

Upon returning to the main venue, they again saw a senior executive from the brand’s Asian sector.

The executive differed from the guests’ glamorous attire, wearing only the most ordinary work suit.

What caught the eye was her significant waist-to-hip ratio, which made the ordinarily plain clothes become not so plain.

Nora approached and offered a toast, ensuring she became familiar enough in the crowd, reflecting that today’s event was worthwhile.

The latter half of the event included a Q&A session arranged by the brand.

When Nora’s name was called, she was fully prepared. She took the microphone from the host and spoke confidently.

"White gardenia is mysterious and captivating. To me, its presence is a luxurious ode, with Mr. Dawson adding the sweet scent of jasmine and pear blossom, accentuating the unique fragrance of gardenia..."

When she finished, applause erupted from the audience.

For the remainder of the time, Nora was no longer bored; many brand representatives gathered around her, intending to exchange business cards.

The event concluded at four in the afternoon, which was six in Melbourne.

Jasper Sinclair completed nearly a day’s itinerary and was now conducting his last video conference of the day.

"Good evening Director Sinclair, today’s meeting is chaired by me; it’s expected to last forty to forty-five minutes, covering four agendas..."

The man sat poised at the computer desk, listening to his subordinate’s orderly work report.

During the reporting process, he appropriately posed a few questions, his speech pace calm and steady.

There are certain people whose mere words make them seem exceedingly noble.

Jasper Sinclair is one such person.

The forty-plus minute meeting concluded, and Louis Hayes timed his entry into the office.

"Boss, black coffee."

The cup contained double the ice cubes, as they had more important matters to attend to that night.

Jasper Sinclair loosened his tie, leaning back into the chair with a hint of exhaustion.

"The energy policy meeting is scheduled to start at one o’clock the day after tomorrow afternoon."

"Back up the meeting materials in advance," Jasper said casually, as if not considering the matter to be of much importance.

However, Louis Hayes roared internally: This is a global conference!

"Has the Peach Bell inspection result come out?"

"The doctor said only a small amount of sedative was inhaled, and no other abnormalities occurred."

Immediately after, the hundreds of square meters of office fell into silence.

The oppressive feeling from Jasper Sinclair lightened a bit, the faint dark circles under his eyes betraying his fatigue.
