When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 941: Three Fires for a New Official

Ivy Jennings exudes a professional aura, with a knack for fashion, always at the cutting edge of style.

Her kind of youthful beauty is also very charming.

So much so that Leo Lane felt joy and affection at seeing her again.

He went straight to the point, "The CEO at Stellaris Corp just took office, and there’s some haggling over the price. The unit price is 0.5% higher than before, but they’re still not very satisfied."

"How much does President Lancaster value this deal?" Ivy inquired.

"For the past two weeks, President Lancaster has been personally following up, just a step away from signing," Leo analyzed. "I reckon President Lancaster is a bit troubled over this matter."

Soon, two caramel lattes were served, "Enjoy."

Leo smiled at the woman sitting across from him, "I heard President Lancaster has instructed HR not to let you into Prestige Group anymore, between you two, is this..."

Ivy felt a pang of bitterness but smiled faintly, "I was just asking, I didn’t plan on joining."

She thought Adrian Lancaster was being a bit narrow-minded. Was it really necessary to show loyalty to his wife in such a manner?

Ivy didn’t delve further into his question, and the topic of President Lancaster ended there.

As they drank coffee, she asked him about some specific details regarding the project. Since it wasn’t confidential, Leo shared everything.

The information Ivy gathered could be summarized as: President Lancaster cares a lot about this project and has put in considerable effort. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After about five minutes, she paid the bill and left; the coffee was her treat.

It wasn’t good to linger there in case Adrian Lancaster spotted her, which would upset him.

Upstairs, in the elegantly minimalist CEO office.

Adrian Lancaster was reading a financial newspaper at his desk when Dustin Shepherd came in. "I need a file on Stellaris. What’s the background of this new CEO?"

"He’s President Sawyer’s son, just got back from studying abroad. He’s making waves with his new position, holding back all projects, not just ours," Dustin was also frustrated, they were just a step from signing the contract, everything was negotiated before.

Adrian Lancaster’s handsome brows furrowed slightly. It was just because his father suddenly fell seriously ill, otherwise, the contract would have been signed long ago, and everything would have progressed smoothly.

This kid probably doesn’t realize that the company needs long-term partners and lacks humility. Going by market price, he still wants to make extra profit. Doesn’t he think long-term cooperation is necessary?

Dustin added, "By the way, I heard... he’s only 19."

Adrian Lancaster looked up, feeling quite speechless. After a few seconds of thought, he said, "If we can’t reach an agreement, just leave it; don’t waste time on him."

But Dustin also knew that this project had been planned for a long time, only the contract was left unsigned.

"I’ll communicate with them again," Dustin said.

Adrian Lancaster took a sip of water from his cup, "Is everything arranged for Grandpa’s birthday banquet?"

"Rest assured, all the staff have been contacted and will arrive on time. Even the waiters have been professionally trained, and both the baker and pastry chef are exceptionally skilled, I’ve tried them out."

"Hmm." He felt reassured, just waiting for Grandpa’s birthday to arrive.

By evening, at The Xavier Estate in Jadepoint.

The tailor made a personal visit, bringing the newly made dress, packed in a box, to Gia’s residence.

Gia was surprised upon seeing the tailor and learning of the purpose, "For me? Young Master Xavier said so?"

"Yes, it’s for you, Young Master Xavier said so." The tailor held the large box with a smile.

Then, with a look of apology, said, "Actually, we designed a set before, but somehow it ended up with Miss Xavier. The young master was quite displeased and urged us to quickly redesign and make another set for you. Try it on when you have time, it should fit, as he accurately provided your measurements."
