Chapter 221 - Snagging A Spot (1/2)

Standing near the hall's entrance were Oliver and his assistant, Seth. They were speaking with one of the organizers who was quick on his feet and approached the duo earlier as soon as Oliver wore the gold lace conference pass around his neck.

A member of the organizing committee then ushered Oliver and Seth near the stage, where a seat bearing Oliver's initials could be found. The member of the organizing committee sighed in relief after dropping Oliver off in his seat. The laces attached to the conference passes were actually color-coded, with gold lace sent to attendees that were considered as VIP.

It hadn't been long since Oliver arrived in the VIP area and people swarmed him in an instant since most of them already knew each other, either meeting way back in uni or other conferences they attended in the past.

He was speaking with one delegate when he saw Olivia as he looked over his shoulder and caught sight of two familiar faces tagging along with her—Chanel Greene and Konstantin Ivanov.

Seeing Olivia with Konstantin wasn't new to him, but seeing Chanel Greene and Konstantin Ivanov together pulled his brows in an instant. He definitely knew who Chanel Greene was, and it didn't surprise him to see her at the conference.

After all, she owned the largest security system company in Nisia. But put her side by side with a man known to operate underground banking, then he could smell trouble from miles ahead.

He thought if the two were doing business, then having eyes and ears in the form of Chanel Greene's security system company was akin to handing candy to Konstantin Ivanov—a foreigner.

The thought didn't sit well with Ollie. There must be something bigger brewing in Vuono that their government suddenly took an interest in investing in Nisia.

After excusing himself from the guy he was speaking with, Oliver pivoted on his heel to face his sister and the guests that came with her. He nodded to Konstantin and held out a hand to Chanel Greene.

”Lovely to see you, Ms. Greene,” Oliver said as he shook hands with Chanel Greene.

Chanel Greene's smile slipped, but she was quick to keep up appearances and grinned like a Cheshire Cat at Oliver.

She didn't like how Ollie's grip on her hand was light and soft as if it disgusted him to touch her, but the smile on her face was the same as when she accepted his gesture.

After all, this was her chance to get into Oliver's good graces, what with her failed attempts at snagging a spot for scheduling a meeting with the Lin heir.

”I know, right? Hahahahaha! I guess Ms. Lin doesn't just look like an angel, but is truly my angel in disguise. I finally got the chance to meet you in person! Hahahahahaha!”

”Today's your lucky day then. Seth here will be happy to match our schedules. I'm really interested in your newest product on the market. I believe Livi darling used it in her apartment and not a single security threat arose since it was installed. Impressive.”

Olivia swallowed, and her eyes darted between Chanel Greene and Oliver. She tried to come up with a reason why Oliver said what he said when he knew there was a breach in her apartment days ago, but was met with a bigger question mark floating above her head.

Her eyes then landed on Chanel Greene who knew it too since they had to file for a theft insurance claim on the damages in her apartment which was just the bullet scraping her the marble flooring in her bathroom, but the lady just stood unperturbed by Oliver's jabs.
