Elaine took out her phone and glanced at Martin with a raised eyebrow. “If I’m not mistaken, it should be Josh!”

“It seems like the cooperation is a done deall Martin gave Elaine a thumbs-up and said, “Elena, you are truly wonderful!”

Elaine chuckled softly and answered the call.

Josh asked her to meet at a restaurant near Sevier Group to discuss the details of their collaboration.

“Mr. Robinson, please rest assured. I won’t be late.”

Josh added. “Ms. Gray. I only want to talk to you, not anyone else!”

“Alright.” Elaine turned on the speakerphone before. Hearing this, Martin furrowed his brows, feeling worried.

“Although Josh doesn’t seem to have any malicious intentions, you are still a woman. Moreover, he wanted to have a one-on- one meeting with you. It is rather strange.”

‘T’ll handle it! Don’t forget. I’m not just an ordinary woman. Elaine raised an eyebrow and looked at Martin. Although she was smiling, there seemed to be something concealed behind her smile.

Elaine pushed the door open and entered the office.

Julian was holding an iPad, busy with something.

Eddy was drawing with Evie.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the kids turned to look at her.

“Mommy, are you done with work?” Julian asked.

“My darlings, I am going to meet a very important client and may not be able to have lunch with you. How about letting Martin accompany you?”

Evie pouted, feeling a bit disappointed.

Eddy, who was thoughtful and understanding, puffed out his chest and said, “Mommy, go ahead and take care of your work! We’ll be fine with Martin! We promise to be very well-behaved.”

Julian nodded in agreement.

“That’s settled then! Order whatever you want for lunch. Elaine said to them.

Elaine walked into the restaurant, and the waiter quickly led her to a private room.

“Ms. Gray, Mr. Robinson is inside.”

When Elaine saw the man in the private room, she froze.

“Mr. Robinson, no wonder you insisted on only talking to me. Elaine looked at Josh with a smirk.

Josh smiled awkwardly, ‘After all, Ms. Gray, you snatched the business deal yesterday, right?”

“In the business world, there is no concept of first come, first served. Mr. Robinson, maybe you have some concerns now, but Sevier Group will prove with its strength that choosing Sevier Group is the right decision!”

Anson remained silent the whole time, his sharp and calm eyes fixed firmly on her face.

He still didn’t know what exactly her relationship with Elaine was

Just this morning. Milo gave Anson a brown paper bag containing all the information about Elena, the Chief Designer of Sevier Grou

There was only a thin piece of paper inside.

Elena had emerged out of nowhere five years ago with numerous awards, yet there was no birth record of her.

Anson personally checked Elena’s information and found that it was encrypted.

Anson knew that the information of an ordinary person wouldn’t be encrypted.

Therefore, Anson-contacted Josh, hoping to meet Elena in person.

Josh couldn’t afford to offend Cameron Group, so he agreed.

Elaine sat down calmly.

“A Knock, knock came.”

The waiter knocked on the door and asked if they wanted to order food.

Josh looked at Elaine and said, “Ms. Gray, ladies first.”

Out of the corner of her eyes, Elaine glanced at the handsome man, who was staring at her and speculating. She silently sneered in her heart.

Elaine knew that Anson must have already suspected her identity and deliberately invited her here to test her.

“I’ll place my order first, Elena smiled at the waiter, “Could I have the red wine paired with goose liver and mango with Porto grapes? And then, I’d like the Beef Tongue with Pepper, as well as the Seafood Chowder…

Anson grew increasingly perplexed, his brow furrowing even more.

Although Elena’s face resembled Elaine’s, Elaine never ate beef tongue.

After Elaine finished ordering, she looked at Josh and asked, “Mr. Robinson, Mr. Cameron, is there anything else you would like to order?”

Anson shook his head.

Josh ordered another dish that he enjoyed.

“This Beef Tongue with Pepper is really good! It has the right thickness, and the addition of pepper gives it a hint of aroma. It’s tender and chewy, and the more I cat, the better it tastes, Elaine commented.

Her confident aura was palpable as she spoke, making it hard to avert one’s gaze.

“Ms. Gray, are you the only child in your family?” Anson finally spoke.

Elaine smiled at Anson and looked at him with a meaningful expression in her eyes. “Mr. Cameron, wouldn’t you like to try this red wine paired with goose liver and mango with Porto grapes?”

Anson furrowed his brow. “No need. I’m allergic to mango.”

Yesterday. Patrick had just been harping on him, and he didn’t want to endure another one of his lectures.

“I see…” Elaine drawled. “What a pity! This one is also quite good

Josh laughed and chimed in. “Ms. Gray, you seem to be an expert in cuisine.”

“I enjoy indulging in cuisine from around the world! However, have a particular fondness for Chinese food!”

Anson’s expression became a bit obscure as he asked, “Ms. Gray, what’s your favorite Chinese food?”

“I like any dish as long as it’s delicious.”

Having failed to probe anything. Anson couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

There was a strange atmosphere at the dining table.

Elaine had almost finished eating. She wiped her mouth elegantly and looked at Anson. “Mr. Cameron, I think Mr. Robinson and I need to discuss some matters related to our cooperation.”

She had dropped a subtle hint for him to leave, so Anson couldn’t possibly stay any longer.

Then, goodbye!” Anson rose from his seat, gave Josh a slight nod, and departed with confident strides.

When it came to business, Elaine went straight to the point, completely different from when she was commenting on cuisine earlier. At this moment, she exuded a cold and powerful aura, uncompromising and formidable. Even Josh, who had been in the business world for over a decade, found it hard to deal with her.

“Ms. Gray, are you really just a chief designer at Sevier Group’s?

Elaine smiled and said, “Mr. Robinson, do you think I’m more than just a chief designer?”

“I replace that every time I meet you, Ms. Gray, you will give me a different feeling. I wish us a pleasant cooperation.” Josh reached out his hand.

“Best wishes for a pleasant cooperation! I will go back and inform Mr. Moore to arrange a press conference as soon as possible.”

*How about announcing our collaboration at Sevier Group’s new product launch event? We can announce it together then.” After a brief hesitation, Elaine said, “Okay!”

Josh received a phone call and didn’t go with Elaine.

When Elaine walked out of the restaurant, she immediately saw Anson’s car.

She approached and tapped on the car window.

The driver rolled down the window, and Anson’s impeccable face slowly appeared.

Mr. Cameron, are you waiting for me?”

Anson stared at her face, and for a moment, he nearly blurted out the name “Elaine.”

Anson pressed his lips together and said, “Cameron Group is also interested in collaborating with Sevier Group.”

“I can’t make that decision. Mr. Cameron, you can discuss it with Mr. Moore.”

As they were talking, a car slowly approached from a distance.
