Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO
Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Sounds of a Heart Breaking

"Miss Yard, Mr. Fowler is in a meeting. How can I help you?"

"I have something important to talk about to him, so I must see him after his meeting." Although she knew she shouldn't be putting herself out there in such a lowly manner, she no longer cared by that point. "Sure." Niall returned to the meeting room after taking the things he needed. It wasn't until the meeting was over that he informed Pierre, "Miss Meredith is here. She has something important that she would like to talk about to you, so she insisted on seeing you after the meeting." Learning from his past mistakes, Niall made sure to avoid using 'Miss Yard' and had taken special care to mention that it was Meredith, and not Selena, who came for Pierre, in order to eliminate any possible misunderstanding.

Upon checking the time, Pierre replied, "I'm running late." He knew exactly why Meredith came; it definitely had something to do with Megan.

"Mr. Pierre, but Miss Meredith-"

"Get the car ready immediately."

Not daring to disobey Pierre, he quickly arranged for a car to send the latter to the airport. However, he had yet to figure out what to tell Meredith. On the other hand, Meredith had been waiting for Pierre. Having lost the right to enter his office, she could only wait outside, but after a lengthy wait, it was Niall who received her yet again in the end. "Has Pierre yet to finish his meeting?" she asked.

With an awkward look on his face, Niall replied, "Mr. Fowler had left."

"He's gone?" Meredith gaped at him.

Obviously uncomfortable about the situation, Niall explained, "He knows he'll be off on a business trip today, so he held that meeting to hand over certain tasks. The trip had been postponed for a long time, so he was in a hurry indeed, which is why..."

Meredith could almost hear the sounds of her heart broken to pieces. Of course, she knew he wasn't in such a hurry, so that could only mean he was avoiding her. Is he no longer willing to see me? Why must he be so cruel?

"Miss Yard, you should give him a text about whatever it is that you would like to discuss. He might reply to you as soon as he sees your text." Niall was quick to give her suggestions, as he figured that it was none of his business if Pierre decided to not reply to her.

In the meantime, Meredith tried her best to maintain her composure. "Alright. It's such a near miss. I'll be taking my leave then. Thank you, Mr. Sanders." With that, she left the scene in dejection. Niall could only heave a sigh while watching her leave. An unloved woman sure is pitiful.

Meanwhile, Pierre was waiting for his flight in the VIP waiting room in the airport. Truth be told, he wasn't in such a hurry, but for Selena's sake, and also as revenge on Megan for stabbing him, he decided that she should be incarcerated.

After retrieving his phone, he stared at Selena's contact number while his finger remained hovering over the display. "That d*mned woman..." he mumbled. "How dare she not send me off?" Even if she didn't want to send him off, he thought she should at least give him a call or a text, but he received neither.

The thought of it irked him, as he never knew if he would be able to return every time he had to go to the base. Meanwhile, the more he missed Selena, the more he was ascertained of his deep-rooted feelings for her. In the end, he failed to suppress the urge to give her a call.

Soon, Selena picked up. "Hello, what's the matter?"

Hearing what she said annoyed him even more. What's the matter? I'll tell you what's the matter! "It's nothing!" he snapped.

"Why are you calling if there's nothing important? I'm busy!" Selena was in an even worse mood, so she hung up directly.

Pierre stared at his phone while at a loss of what to do. How dare she lose her temper just like that?
