Chapter 186 Who’s Queen?
Although Sion got into the car, his gaze remained on the figure outside from the window. It wasn’t until the car started and Morgan’s figure became smaller and smaller that Sion took back his gaze.
“Mr Carroll.” David glanced at Sion in the rear-view mirror and saw him turn around before saying, “Queen has never appeared before. I even had someone check it out in Country Y, and no one has seen her.”
Sion turned on an iPad next to him and asked, “Is Queen male or female unknown?”
“Yes,” David answered.
But according to the name, Queen must be a blonde, blue-eyed, aggressive lady.
“Is Crescent Group protecting Queen too well, or does she not want to appear?” Sion asked.
“It is not very clear. Even the designers who have participated in several competitions with her say they have never seen Queen.” David answered.
Therefore, Queen was less likely to appear in public. Queen’s return to Lower Hopton was obviously not as easy as it seemed.
Sion gazed, his slender fingers scrolling down the screen. He was looking at the works designed by Queen in recent years. Suddenly, he stopped scrolling since something flashed quickly through his mind. But it was too fast to recall.
“Mr Carroll, do we need to bring a gift?” David asked. It might leave a deep impression on Queen, he thought.
“No.” Sion frowned, “It’s just a meeting. It is wise of us to give gifts to Queen’s liking. When we acquire her preferences, it won’t be too late to give gifts.”
“I get it, Mr Carroll.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
The car reached its destination quickly. The Crescent Group building had just been built a few years. Although located far away from downtown, it covered a vast area. And it was independently designed and built by their own company. Although it was just a branch here while they located their headquarters abroad, it had left many domestic enterprises out of reach.
Sion got off the car and looked up at the building. The sunlight glared as if there were pearls with the finest gloss hidden inside.
“Mr Carroll.” David pulled over his car and walked over, carrying a briefcase in his hand.
“Let’s go,” Sion said.
Almost as soon as they walked into the building, another black Mercedes-Benz also stopped at the entrance of the building.
“Dr Doyle, here we are.” Said Cory.
“OK.” Albie packed up the documents and opened the car’s door.
Queen asked them to come to Crescent Group for an interview, presumably to discern the sincerity of their cooperation. The plan was secondary.
Cory walked side by side with Albie and said with curiosity in his voice, “Queen is so mysterious, and I don’t know whether this company wants to cooperate with us or just wants to know our determination to corporate this time?”
Albie lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, “We will know when we see Queen.”
As soon as they entered the company, they unexpectedly discovered Sion.
“Mr Doyle. What a coincidence.” Said Sion.
Obviously, Queen didn’t just have an appointment with one company. It would be interesting if the meeting today was a competition between the two companies.
Albie also realized the situation and his eyes darkened momentarily.
“It’s really a coincidence.” Said Albie.
Since the incident five years ago, he had no regard for Sion and Carroll Group and he had no idea of continuing to cooperate with them. He just nodded politely to maintain a seemingly harmonious state, but his heart was filled with disgusted anger.
Sion put his hands in his pants pocket and spoke in a low voice, “I think Mr Doyle is here today to consult cooperation with Queen?”
“Of course.” Albie stared at the sanctimonious man in front of him. And he said in a chilly voice, “Do you come to visit Crescent Group?”
Since Queen intended to make them compete, there was no point in saying anything. What’s more, Albie and Sion didn’t want to say any greetings, either.
“Of course, we are also here to make a cooperation. Since you are also interested in Queen, may the best partner win.” Said Sion.
Sion had always been able to obtain projects he liked.
“You seem very confident,” Albie sneered, “It’s also a coincidence that our company is also bound to win this cooperation.”
As Albie spoke, he suddenly remembered something and continued, “However, Carroll Group probably has a different starting point from ours. We are in the fashion industry, clearly to explore and advocate art. You are just a businessman, who probably cannot resonate with Queen.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Sion was completely unaffected and said expressionlessly, “Without commercial support, the art probably wouldn’t go far.”
“Oh?” Albie raised his eyebrows, “You’re very good at business, but shouldn’t you be too good at other fields?”
The dialogue between them was very aggressive. Cory and David, two assistants, were afraid to interrupt them. It was truly a scene of a disaster that they got together today after being at loggerheads for years. Cory and David were sensing tension as if there was a big fight coming.
Sion tidied up his cuffs and just as he wanted to speak, someone appeared.
“Mr Doyle and Mr Carroll, I’m Anna, the assistant of designer Queen.” Anna introduced herself with a smile.
Anna’s voice broke the tension, and the two men looked at her with the same expression. Anna was gorgeous, with a decent smile on her face.
“Could you please follow me to the lounge and wait for a moment?” Anna asked politely.
Sion frowned and asked, “What does queen mean?”
Since there was a conspicuous contest coming between them ignited by Queen, why had the one behind everything not shown up yet?
Anna glanced at them.
Albie did not speak, but he was also confused.
“You will know when you arrive.” Anna added, “Before the meeting, Queen knew that Mr Doyle and Mr Carroll both had the desire to cooperate with Crescent Group, so she wanted to have a special test to determine who should be given priority.”
“A test? Will Queen decide who to cooperate with through this test?”
Anna smiled and nodded, “Yeah. That’s one interpretation.”
Actually, Anna didn’t know what her boss’s thoughts were. But Queen would not make this meeting easy.
Albie glanced at Sion, thinking that Sion’s confident look was a little annoying.
“OK.” Albie gave Anna a smile and said, “This is better.”
Then Anna said, “This way, please.”
While following the assistant, both Albie and Sion couldn’t help but wonder about the real identity of this famous designer, Queen.
