Chapter 81 Drink For Him (Part One) (1/2)

Sherry began working on the new international project with her handpicked team members. It was a prestigious assignment, but one that required a lot of time and effort. Soon everyone was busy working on their specific tasks, and the documents began piling up.

Some of them had just finished previous projects, and they had no time to catch their breath before being reassigned to Sherry's team. Still, they were eager to do well, because it was the most important case any of them had ever worked on.

Sherry spent some time familiarizing herself with every detail of the international project, which would involve the Korean as well as the Z Country's market. Then she took Linda with her to the CEO's office, to meet with Chester. They arrived just as he was getting ready to leave.

The office had a spectacular view of the city, but Sherry and Linda had no time to appreciate the sight. Chester picked up some folders and glanced at his watch. ”It's time to meet the new clients,” he said, and began walking out of the office. They quickly followed him.

The three of them got into an expensive car where a driver was waiting. They drove to the most prosperous area of the city, towards a famous five-star hotel.

Linda sat in the front seat, while Chester and Sherry sat in the back of the vehicle. Linda glanced at the rearview mirror and met Chester's eyes. ”Sir, do they speak Chinese, English or Korean?”

Chester smiled. ”Do you happen to speak Korean? Or maybe some English?”

Linda curled her lips and replied, ”Well... I can say 'thank you' in Korean.”

Sherry laughed. She leaned forward to tap Linda on the shoulder. ”Be serious!”

Linda's eyes narrowed, but she didn't respond to Sherry. She maintained an indifferent expression.

Sherry didn't notice that there was anything wrong. She opened some of the folders she'd brought with her and consulted with Chester over some of the finer points.

Linda kept quiet, but she stole several glances at the two of them in the rearview mirror. Her mouth twisted.

The car pulled into the main entrance of the city's largest luxury hotel. A doorman hurried forward to open the car doors for them. They went into the enormous reception hall, which was decorated with lavish carpets and several chandeliers. Even the air smelled scented. A woman who had evidently been awaiting their arrival stepped forward to greet them.
