Chapter 732 The Legendary Figure
“Mr. Robins? Do you mean the president of Pinnaclestone Corp?” Jayden looked at Shawn in surprise. “Is he here to see you?” Shawn shook his head with a confused expression. “I know of Skyler, but I have never met him in person.”
Skyler was a legendary figure in Bloomstead. He was brilliant and gifted with medical knowledge, but later, he abandoned his career in medicine for business, which was a source of confusion for many.
“I don’t know him either. Why is he here?” Jayden was baffled. “Whatever. Let’s go.” Shawn closed the file on the table, got up, and walked out with Jayden. Both of them had never thought that Shirley would be acquainted with Skyler.
Shirley, who couldn’t be bothered to leave, leaned back in her seat. This company was Veronica’s. Skyler’s sponsorship would bring the company to the next level, but Shirley wanted to avoid owing Skyler such a big favor because of Veronica. It would be more straightforward if she owed him a monetary debt, but how could she return such a favor?
Shawn and Jarden walked into the reception room and saw Skyler dressed in a yellow suit, a punk hairstyle, and black piercings on his ears. He was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and his hands on the couch. He looked like a dashing yet wild man. It was difficult to imagine that he was a medical prodigy just by his looks.
Jayden walked forward and extended his hand with a polite smile as he greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Robins. Welcome to our company.”
Skyler did not shake his hand. Instead, he looked at the two men in front of him and asked, “Do you have a staff by the name of Shirley?”
“S-Shirley?”
A shocked Jayden instinctively looked at Shawn, and they saw complicated emotions in each other’s eyes. Their minds were running amok with suspicion.
Was Skyler here to pick a fight?
It was no wonder that the distinguished Skyler would come to the company today. Shirley had offended him.
Jayden and Shawn judged the current situation with their logic. They deduced that a big company like Pinnaclestone Corp would not be here to talk about collaboration with a small gaming company, so Skyler must be here to make things difficult for her.
“Shirley? Hah, yes, she is our staff, but she’ll be fired soon because she is lazy, incompetent, and unfit for our company. Mr. Robins, do you want to see her?” Shawn framed her by ridiculing her as an unqualified staff member.
“Yes. Shirley isn’t qualified for the job, but she was offered a job here because of some personal connection. She always hangs around and is never serious about her job,” Jayden added.
Skyler’s eyebrow raised slightly as he listened to them. “Is that so? I wonder what kind of personal connection you are referring to.”
“She is a friend of our major shareholder.”
“Your major shareholder? Who is he?” Skyler inquired curiously.
Jayden and Shawn hesitated. Before Veronica left, she repeatedly warned them not to reveal her identity, but the two men could not risk offending Skyler, so they said honestly, “It’s a she. Veronica Murphy. You may not know her.”
“Veronica?”
Tsk tsk, what a surprise.
Skyler never thought that Vincere Games was Veronica’s company.
No wonder she was so good at playing games. She literally owned a gaming company.
Skyler loved to play games, so he diligently followed the news of the game tournaments of the top teams in the field and knew a thing or two about Vincere Games.
Vincere Games was relatively new in the market as it had only been established for more than a year, but its team was famous among gamers.
It was a surprise that Veronica founded Vincere Games, making Skyler admire Veronica even more.
“Why? Do you know her?” Jayden asked curiously. That was because Skyler sounded as if he knew Veronica personally.
