The general manager who was still reporting on his work was dumbfounded, his face full of confusion as he looked at Ethan Sterling.
What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Could it be that he didn’t do sothing well?
Did the benefits not et expectations? Were his subordinates incompetent? Or was there an issue with the report just now?
He’s dood... He looked back at Nathan Ayers despairingly, hoping he could save him, Nathan Ayers looked at the general manager, who managed countless people, so scared he was pale, as if he was about to faint in the next second.
Everyone in the conference room had a dreadful look on their face, they glanced at each other, unsure of what to say.
Looking again at Ethan Sterling seated at the head, he wasn’t paying any attention to these anxious and uneasy executives, instead, he was engrossed in his phone, as if he were looking at a cherished pet.
The ringtone was nearing its end.
Ethan Sterling eyed the group of tense executives with a stern expression: "What are you all waiting for? For to open the door for you?"
Did these people still intend to watch him take the call?
Nathan Ayers quickly intervened to ease the situation: "Alright, everyone, please return to your workstations for now. I’ll send pertinent issues to your emails later. Thank you for your efforts."
"Okay, okay."
No one dared utter a word of refusal, they bowed to Ethan Sterling before hurriedly sprinting out the door, as if soone were chasing them, with two people not watching where they were going crashing into each other with a soft thud from their heads.
Chaotic yet amusing.
His subordinates were terrified of Ethan Sterling to death, yet they were reluctant to leave due to the high salaries.
Once he was left alone in the conference room, he lounged comfortably in the backrest at the head position.
Ethan Sterling connected the call just as it was about to hang up, and slowly spoke into the phone: "What’s the matter?"
Nathan Ayers was still organizing eting materials, upon hearing this, he almost tripped himself, looking at Ethan Sterling with shock.
To end the eting prematurely just for this call, yet his attitude remained so curt?
Seraphina Redgrave nearly blurted out if there’s anything wrong, but she held back: "If I recall correctly, this is a task assigned by President Sterling."
"Understood, I have other matters. You can hang up now."
Seraphina Redgrave was speechless for a few seconds, then briskly replied: "Alright, goodbye."
Before she could hang up the phone, Ethan Sterling pressed the end call button himself, with a smile in his eyes, he assigned a task to Nathan Ayers: "Mark the ti."
He wanted to see how frequently Seraphina Redgrave called him.
"Okay."
Nathan Ayers clutched the files, though he wanted to ask: "Didn’t Young Master Sterling always wait for the call from Hibiscus Garden’s resident?"
However, when the call finally ca, was this the official deanor he portrayed?
Upon hearing this, Ethan Sterling glanced up at Nathan Ayers: "Won shouldn’t be pressed too hard; you need to let them feel curious, otherwise they’ll drift away, speaks volus about never having been in love."
Given enough ti, only then can she reminisce more about him.
It sounded rather reasonable.
But this call wasn’t sothing she initiated herself; this was a task set by him, would she truly feel curious due to his attitude?
Nathan Ayers didn’t quite get it, but he was greatly stunned.
"Anyway, she’ll soon call again."
Ethan Sterling was confident, then smiled at his phone’s screen.
Nathan Ayers could only wait with Ethan Sterling.
After waiting for a full twenty minutes, Seraphina Redgrave showed no sign of calling again.
Ethan Sterling’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant, almost ready to erupt.
The atmosphere felt instantly oppressive.
Nathan Ayers was already contemplating leaving.
"How many tis does she call each day recently?"
Ethan Sterling suddenly spoke up, if Seraphina Redgrave called more than three tis a day, it indicated that she wasn’t entirely indifferent towards him.
Nathan Ayers took out a tablet, sweat was nearly dripping from his forehead, checked multiple tis before daring to speak: "Miss calls you three tis every day..."
Ethan Sterling’s face darkened completely, leaning heavily back in his chair, his voice cold: "Continue the eting."
"Huh?" Nathan Ayers was dumbstruck, "But I just told them to return..."
"So bring them back again, want to tell you a second ti?"
"Understood, Young Master Sterling."
Nathan Ayers rushed out of the conference room’s door, summoning those people back to face Ethan Sterling’s wrath.
The branch company’s folks were likely in for a rough ti.
In the library of Sovereign College in Z Country, Seraphina Redgrave put down her phone and opened the next book; today she read more than yesterday, pretty good.
Soon, Jonathan Redgrave would be giving a speech at Sovereign College.
Seraphina Redgrave was excited and got up early at five, she persisted for three years in the restricted area just for revenge today.
Once today ended, she could leave.
She took a white casual outfit from the wardrobe and changed.
The phone was placed beside the bed, it was her phone.
The call was still connected, Hector Shaw’s voice was on the other end: "Seraphina Redgrave, I am happy for you, this grand show, I’ll watch online with delight."
Today would be the most exhilarating day of Seraphina Redgrave’s life.
Seraphina Redgrave didn’t reply to him, she went on changing clothes at her own pace.
"Seraphina Redgrave, I’ve already assembled the team; as long as you co to the south, rest assured that everything will be flawlessly executed." Hector Shaw continued.
Even though his forces couldn’t compare to Ethan Sterling’s in any way, if Seraphina Redgrave hid well in the south, and insisted to Ethan Sterling who ca searching that she didn’t know, could Ethan Sterling possibly resort to violence?
"Alright."
Seraphina Redgrave fixed her hair, looking at the young girl in the mirror.
Her eyes were filled with coldness.
"This ti it’s truly a coincidence, Ethan Sterling isn’t in Sovereign, revenge and departure will happen directly, untraceable and unnoticed." Hector Shaw excitedly planned his major strategy.
Since the parting from the restricted area, he hadn’t seen Seraphina Redgrave.
"Wait for my good news."
Seraphina Redgrave said this and imdiately went out the door.
Two maids were already preparing breakfast.
Seeing Seraphina Redgrave ca downstairs, they were sowhat surprised: "Miss, did you get the ti wrong?"
Otherwise, why get up so early?
Seraphina Redgrave carried her backpack, looking at the busy pair, she spoke: "After school let’s go out shopping, I’ll call you then."
After she leaves, Ethan Sterling will surely vent his anger on these two maids.
She couldn’t let the two elders suffer from unprovoked disaster, so why not take them along when she departs?
"Eh?" Nanny Lynch looked at Seraphina Redgrave, a bit troubled, "But Young Master Sterling said, you shouldn’t loiter outside."
"I don’t have classes in the afternoon, they got canceled temporarily, he doesn’t know, we’ll sneak out, it doesn’t breach his orders."
The two maids found this fairly reasonable, and agreed to Seraphina Redgrave’s suggestion.
Nanny Lynch saw the corners of Seraphina Redgrave’s mouth rising, she couldn’t help but speak: "Miss seems really happy?"
