Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Five minutes later, Zeph was led by his secretary into the conference room with Robert and Beatrice. Upon entering, they saw four people sitting in their seats, with a middle-aged man in the center.

“Hello Mr Menzie, our chairman and general manager.” The secretary pointed to Zeph and his son before pointing to Beatrice again. “And this is Miss Knight who you were looking for.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr Menzie, I’m Zeph Knight. Thank you so much for making this trip just for us!” Zeph warmly greeted him.

“Nice to meet you, Mr Knight. Your company is one of our VIP clients, that’s what we need to do.” Replied Matt Menzie with a smile. He then stood up and bowed to Beatrice respectfully while introducing himself as the director of Ozin Tower’s business department.

“Miss Knight, I’m Matt Menzie, please allow me to be of service.”

As his boss commanded, he should show great respect for Miss Knight. Matt couldn’t afford any carelessness.

“Mr Menzie, thank you for your trust in me!” Beatrice smiled and said when she enjoyed being treated with such respect.

“It’s my pleasure, Miss Knight.”

Matt then took out a contract from one of his colleagues beside him and handed it over to her. “Here is the contract, we have already stamped it twice, please take a look first before signing it if there are no issues.”

“Okay.” After receiving the contract from Matt, Beatrice passed it on to Zeph and Robert and asked, “Grandpa, Dad, can you check if there are any problems?”

A few minutes later, Zeph laughed heartily and said, “Thank you so much for trusting us, there are no problems at all!” Then he turned to his granddaughter and said, “Beatrice, sign the papers.”

With great enthusiasm, Batrice nodded as she picked up her expensive pen to sign her name, which looked pretty good.

“Mr Menzie, can you take a look at this and see if it’s okay?”

“I’ll take a look.” Matt flipped to the last page. In the next moment, he was taken aback and looked up at Beatrice.

“Aren’t you Harleen Knight?” asked he.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Zeph, Robert, and Beatrice all looked at him in shock with confused expressions on their faces.

“What do you mean, Mr Menzie?” Beatrice asked after catching her breath.

“We came here today specifically to have Harleen Knight sign these contracts. You’re not her, why did you sign them?” Matt’s tone immediately became serious.

He had an important task today that his superiors emphasized was crucial for him to personally handle-he had to get Harleen herself to sign the contract. He even asked his direct supervisor about Harleen’s identity and why she was so important for the company but only received a warning that if anything went wrong with this matter today, he would lose his position as director of investment promotion department.

So he headed straight towards Knight Group headquarters personally. When coordinating with Zeph’s secretary earlier, he only mentioned asking “Miss Knight” to sign the contract without mentioning Harleen’s full name, which resulted in this misunderstanding now unfolding before him.

“Mr Menzie, there may be some misunderstanding here.” Zeph calmed himself down before speaking again.

“The person you mentioned named Harleen Knight is just an ordinary employee of our subsidiary company under our group, she doesn’t have any authority or right representing our company.”

“Do I need to emphasize it again? I only recognize Harleen Knight’s signature. No one else’s signature works.”

As he spoke, he tore the two contracts into pieces and continued in an unfriendly tone, “If Harleen Knight doesn’t come here for the contract, your company’s plan to move into our shopping center ends here.”

After finishing his statement, he stood up and was about to leave.

“Mr Menzie, please wait a moment. Give me a few seconds and I’ll call her over.” Zeph quickly interjected. While speaking, he recalled Billy’s words from yesterday and wondered if it was his connections that helped them out. But that couldn’t be right, since he still insisted that it was the Guerrero family that helped them.

“I have a meeting at the office later. Hurry up and get Harleen Knight here.” Matt said coldly as he sat back down. Actually, he couldn’t just leave like that; if he did so, there would be no point in going back to the office.

“Okay, okay. I’ll notify her immediately.” Zeph nodded before turning towards Beatrice and saying, “What are you waiting for? Call her now!”

Though reluctant and frustrated, Beatrice had to do what her grandfather said. She thought that starting today she would be someone of great importance within the company, but within a few minutes everything went back to how it used to be. This roller coaster ride made her feel like going crazy.

At this point, she realized why Ozin Company came running so eagerly towards Knight Group-it wasn’t because of Gilbert’s connections after all.

On the other side, Harleen was playing toys with Tasha together with Billy. What a happy family.

She picked up her phone from the coffee table and saw that it was a call from Beatrice.

“What do you want?” Harleen answered in a flat tone.

“Come to the company RIGHT NOW!”

“What for?”

“Just come here, don’t ask questions!” Beatrice sounded unpleasant.

“I’m busy!” Harleen hung up the phone without another word.

“What’s wrong, Harleen?” Billy noticed her bad mood.

“Nothing. Beatrice called me out of nowhere and asked me to go to the company. I ignored her.”

“Why did she suddenly want you back at work?” Sharon asked curiously.

“I have no idea.” Harleen shrugged before returning to playing with Tasha and their toys.

Her phone rang again, and it was Beatrice calling.

“Harleen, don’t answer it.” Billy said with a faint smile. “Let her call a few more times before you pick up.”

“Billy, do you know why she’s looking for my sister?” Felicia asked, turning her eyes to Billy.

“Did you forget what I said yesterday?” Billy shrugged his shoulders.

“What do you mean?” Felicia looked puzzled.

“You mean about the contract?” Harleen realized what he meant and had a surprised look on her face.

“Huh? Billy, did you really get the contract for Ozin Tower?!” asked Felicia, shocked.
