Chapter 33 The Mysterious Stalker

Pierre heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Niall’s words. Well, I think I know who the stalker is now if it isn’t Selena. Phew! Thank goodness it’s not her!

At that moment, he felt like he had taken a heavy load off his chest, only to be bewildered by a strange realization deep down. Why would I feel that way? What’s happening to me?

“President Fowler. President Fowler…” Niall realized Pierre was caught in a trance, as the latter didn’t respond even after he called out to him a few times.

Upon coming to back his senses, Pierre looked askance at Niall with a glacial gaze and beckoned him over with his finger. Then, Niall leaned closer and listened to what his boss was going to tell him, only to be stunned by what he heard. Oh gosh! We’re going to set a trap and lure our target into it!

“Alright, I’ll work on it right away!” After a few moments of hesitation, Niall went on to say, “By the way, there is something I’d like to bring to your attention, President Fowler. Our men hit a little snag back in our base, so they’d like you to swing by and look into the situation. For that, when would you be free?”

In that instant, Pierre’s gaze darkened and became even more glacial. Why now of all times? In fact, Megan’s wedding was just two weeks away, and he surmised that Selena would probably do something to disrupt the event by then. Confused with his own feelings for the lady, he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to be there to keep her out of trouble, or just to enjoy the show.

Besides, Selena’s birthday was just around the corner, and he had promised Juniper to propose to her mother in order to grant the little girl’s wish. Therefore, he couldn’t go back on his words.

“President Fowler, please kindly decide whether you’d be free on—” As Niall gently reminded Pierre about his schedule once more, he was surprised to see the man, who was usually meticulous with his

work, caught in a trance twice in a row.

“We’ll set out in five days after taking care of all internal affairs in the company,” Pierre said with his deep voice in a determined manner.

“Five days?” Niall was stunned to hear that Pierre needed that long because the latter had always placed the base above everything else. All it ever took was just a day or two until we set off for the base, but this time… it takes five days! Five days! I can’t believe that.

Upon noticing Niall’s preoccupied look, Pierre knocked on the table and said, “By the way, please get me a ring.”

When he heard that, Niall couldn’t believe his ears, and he felt his jaw drop. “Well, don’t you already have one?” Come on, who would propose twice with two different rings?

“Oh wait, you mean a wedding ring, right?” At that moment, Niall could only assume that the previous ring was an engagement ring, while the one he wanted now was a wedding ring. That makes much more sense!

“No. Please also find me a restaurant where I can have some privacy. Pick a few of them and let me choose.”

Since Pierre didn’t seem willing to reveal more, Niall had no choice but to keep quiet and give up asking before he proceeded to do what he had been ordered to.

Meanwhile, one of the units on the fifth floor at Forever Gown had become a makeshift office for Selena. At the same time, she had also recruited a few core members from JNS Corporation to put together a team. After staying in Astoria for a while, she already had an idea in regards to her company’s new direction.

“I’d like to announce our plan to explore the market in Astoria. Regarding that, what do you all think? Please feel free to speak your mind,” Selena said while flipping through the documents that Linda had given her.

“President Yard, I personally think that the demand for wedding dresses is decreasing as people nowadays are getting less and less into the idea of getting married. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Besides, our existence has also caused many other smaller brands to rise and dilute the overall market share. While the demand for formal dresses and gowns hasn’t changed much, wedding dresses are still our main product.

Therefore, I’m of the opinion that we should build and develop our own brand.” One of Selena’s trusted employees, Pauline Ziegler, who was also an assistant manager in JNS Corporation, gave her opinion.

As soon as Linda heard that, she immediately winked at her as a gesture to keep quiet.
