Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO
Chapter 99

However, Linda was too excited to bother about drinking the water. "Fowler Corporation said that they want to collaborate with us in launching a clothing brand jointly and hope that we can come up with a proposal as soon as possible!"

Selena was entirely stunned. Has that b*stard, Pierre Fowler, finally grown a conscience? Is he feeling bad for treating me so because I'd taken care of his child? Or does he have some other ulterior motive? Her gaze went slightly out of focus. He's truly too difficult to grasp, so I don't dare simply draw my own conclusions.

"President Yard. President Yard..." Linda had initially thought that Selena would jump for joy like her. After all, all problems will be resolved once Fowler Corporation collaborates with us. Not only that, but JNS Corporation can also go up a notch with the backing of Fowler Corporation! Thus, this is truly great news!

"Huh?" Selena abruptly snapped back to her senses. "What did you say just now?"

"I didn't say anything. President Yard, you must have been so ecstatic that you spaced out, huh?"

Parting her lips, Selena forced a chuckle. "This isn't necessarily good news."

"Huh?" Linda didn't really hear her clearly.

"Nothing. Put Pauline in charge of this matter and have her liaise with Fowler Corporation in everything. If she can't make a decision, then have her come and see me." "Okay. I'll go and inform her immediately." Linda then left the office.

Sitting on the chair in her office, Selena gently massaged her temples. Pierre's devilish face instantly took form in her mind. What is he scheming? But rumors have it that he's often at Empire Group, while John Fowler is still holding some authority at Fowler Corporation. Meanwhile, LAYA is under Fowler Corporation, so there shouldn't be much interaction. At this thought, her heart slowly settled back into her chest.

To express JNS Corporation's sincerity, Pauline soon took her small team to Fowler Corporation to have a discussion with the LAYA's liaison. However, she had the door slammed in her face. Thus, she then slunk back with a crestfallen expression on her face.

Selena happened to glimpse the dejected look in Pauline's eyes just after her meeting, so she instantly adjourned the meeting. Then, she summoned Pauline into her office. "What happened, Pauline? Did it not go smoothly? Or did they put forth some ridiculous demands?"

"I didn't get to see LAYA's liaison." Leaning back against the chair, Pauline heaved a sigh. "President Yard, we've been working together for three years now, so I'll just speak my mind. Do you have some grudge with Pierre Fowler?"

Selena gaped at her dazedly, never having expected her to ask such a question. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Why would Pierre Fowler keep targeting us if there's no grudge between the two of you? At first, he blocked off all our resources and told every company not to collaborate with us... And now, he's deliberately playing us for a fool!"

At this, Selena breathed a sigh of relief. Looks like Pauline is merely taking a stab in the dark.

"Do you know what they said to me when I went over, President Yard? I didn't even get to see their liaison, for they requested you personally! I've seen ridiculous people but never any this bad! They actually demanded to have the president go in person!" Pauline was truly enraged this time after having hit a wall multiple times in this matter.

"Alright, calm down first." Selena poured her a glass of water. "Beggars can't be choosers. Since they want me to handle this matter, then I'll just do it. Anyway, there isn't too much to do these days, so I can still manage."
