Chapter 707 Intentional Contact
The news showed that Garrick was participating in a charity event in the morning, but the event had ended. When Shirley glanced at the time, it was 10.30AM, so she waited at the roadside, trying her luck.
The scorching sun was like a ball of fire, but she stood under the shade of a tree, feeling the slight wind blowing in her direction. However, the breeze was surprisingly warm, so she sweated profusely. Though she felt warm and thirsty, she dared not go to the washroom for fear of missing Garrick when he returned. Fortunately, her dedication paid off. At 1.10PM, a black Lamborghini stopped in front of the company. After taking a look at the car plate, she was confident that it was his designated car.
Shirley’s eyes instantly lit up. Carrying her bag, she trotted over on high heels. “President Brennan! President Brennan?” she called out to him.
At 1.10PM, the sun was hanging high up in the sky. Few people were at the entrance of the company building, so he immediately spotted her.
Garrick, who was in his early forties, had his hair slicked back, had a tan complexion, deep facial features, and a mature man’s sedateness. He also had a straight figure accentuated by his suit and leather shoes. In every gesture, he exuded innate nobility and gentlemanly elegance. His first impression was that he was a very tasteful and charismatic man.
When Shirley saw his photos on the Internet, she thought he was a handsome man, but in fact, she couldn’t help but see the light shining in her eyes. She was amazed at his handsomeness and, at the same time, shocked by his stable and calm aura that developed from years of working in the business industry.
This man is manly, cool, and charismatic.
“Are you looking for me?” Garrick scanned her from top to bottom, pondering who she was.
“President Brennan, my name is Shirley, and I belong to the Vincere Games. I wonder if you can spare a few minutes to discuss a possible collaboration?” Shirley went straight to the topic.
Seeing the scorching sun, the secretary beside him opened an umbrella to block Garrick from the sun.
When he looked at her, he noticed her delicate little face had blushed scarlet, and fine sweat was dripping from her forehead. He instantly knew that she had been waiting outside for a long time. Although she worked hard, there were many people who had to work as hard as her, so he didn’t waver at all.
“Vincere Games? Haven’t heard of it. Sorry,” Garrick rejected Shirley outright in a polite manner.
“President Brennan, Vincere Games is—”
Shirley took a step forward to explain, but before she finished speaking, Garrick ordered his secretary, “It’s pretty hot today. Get a bottle of water for this young lady.”
“Yes, President Brennan.” The secretary nodded and looked at the bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard then took out a bottle of water from the car.
She wasn’t in the mood to drink right now! Shirley hurriedly caught up with Garrick, trying to seize the opportunity, but two bodyguards came up to stop her.
“Miss, President Brennan is very busy.”
The secretary came over and handed the water to her.
She looked helplessly at Garrick, who was walking further and further away. She stomped her feet angrily, feeling upset but helpless. Disappointed, she took the water bottle, unscrewed it, and drank half of it in one gulp.
Not reconciled, she left Cyberten Holdings and racked her brains to find out Garrick’s schedule for the rest of the day. Quickly, she learned that he had a dinner party in Philwind Hotel’s Rose Lounge.
“Philwind? Philwind?” Shirley mumbled the hotel’s name until she realized Philwind Hotel belonged to Ruka!
With that, she called Ruka immediately.
“Shirley?”
Since Ruka and Veronica were close, Shirley quickly became acquainted with Ruka, and they even exchanged phone numbers before. Before Veronica left Bloomstead, she instructed Ruka to help Shirley if she encountered any difficulties.
