Chapter 512: The Plan Was Not Signed
The Sinclair Group and VK are only three kilometers apart, just ten minutes by car.
VK.
Nora Northwood was arranging the cultural wall in the hallway, preparing for style unification.
Jasper Sinclair stood behind, weaving an unreasonable excuse: "My car broke down; I need a ride with President Northwood tonight, do you mind?"
Nora was caught off guard, instinctively taking two steps back, her spine against the marble wall.
"I mind."
She didn’t leave any room for consideration, yet found it particularly satisfying to hear "President Northwood" coming from Jasper Sinclair’s lips.
"We’re partners, after all."
"A ride costs a hundred thousand bucks."
Upon hearing this, Jasper Sinclair raised an eyebrow, fiddled with his phone for a moment, and then a mechanical female voice announced: "Alipay transfer of one hundred thousand yuan."
The sound was not quiet; several people nearby turned to look, and Nora lamented: filthy rich capitalists.
But who would argue with real money?
She sighed deeply, took back the car keys from Jasper’s hand, and then distanced herself from the cultural wall, walking in another direction.
"Manager Sloan, stay here and supervise."
Lily Sloan stayed behind with a smile, facing several colleagues from the project team, her voice suddenly raised: "Finish early, get off work early!"
Nora led Jasper into the office and said, "I have another formula that needs modifying, about twenty minutes or so. You can sit on the couch for a while."
A secretary brought in a cup of tea; courtesy cannot be lacking.
Then, Nora went to the fragrance room; fragrance creation requires peace of mind, but the short few minutes meeting with Jasper exhausted most of her energy, her mind unable to turn further.
As she exited, she ran into Lily Sloan rushing in hastily.
"Weren’t you supposed to supervise the cultural wall?" Nora frowned.
"The cooperation with the Lawrence Family, the plan hasn’t been signed; it needs to be signed now."
Lily Sloan had only discovered the oversight a few minutes ago, and if not for her team’s reminder, it could have led to a major mistake.
Tomorrow’s official production means the plan must be perfected today.
Nora took it from her hands and quickly signed her name, but a more serious issue lay ahead.
Finnian Lawrence’s signature is needed.
"Contact the Lawrence Family or the Serendipity Pavilion representative; it must be resolved before tomorrow morning."
Serendipity Pavilion is the only incense business operated by the Lawrence Family in Stanton City.
The day seemed doomed.
Lily Sloan dialed Finnian Lawrence’s number several times, but no one answered, leaving her no choice but to leave VK and go to Serendipity Pavilion herself.
The cabin was filled with golden sunset beams, but her mood wasn’t brightened.
Upon arriving at Serendipity Pavilion, everyone was leaving, and only she was moving against the crowd.
She learned from the receptionist that Finnian Lawrence had been sent to France by Elder Lawrence, and today was his return flight, expected to arrive at Aeridor Airport by 8 o’clock.
Lily Sloan dared not stop for a moment.
There was an hour left until the plane landed, enough time for her to rush to the airport.
She hesitated for a second between a cab and the subway, choosing the latter.
It was rush hour, the subway station was a scene of people cramming together, especially the third line, with the smell of sweat, food, perfume... Various scents mixed together, forming a strange and indescribable odor.
Lily Sloan felt it was more unpleasant than the perfume she concocted.
Back then, Yuna Hughes had despised it for smelling like toilet cleaner.
