Patrick pressed his lips together and slowly said to Clifford over the phone, "Alright. I'll check them out when I'm home tonight."
Carlisle stepped out of the hotel, shivering as the cold breeze hit his face. Pulling his coat tighter around him, he glanced at Wendell, who was standing a short distance away with his face covered.
"Hey!" Sharon shouted as she hurried over, panting.
Her eyes were reddened.
"Please don't take back the money!"
Carlisle raised an eyebrow.
"Okay. See you at lunch then!"
With that, he walked straight toward Wendell
Sharon stood in the wind, bewildered. She wondered what all that was about and questioned if he was toying with her on purpose.
When Carlisle neared Wendell, he saw Wendell staring at a photo in his hand, comparing it with Sharon, who was standing at the hotel entrance. Wendell was startled by Sharon's uncanny resemblance to the young lady in the photo.
"What are you looking at?"
Carlisle peeked at the photo. It showed an image of Sharon with a well-mannered couple and a bearning,
handsome young man. The Lawsons, indeed, had good genes. Gideon and his wife were a perfect match, and their children were both very attractive.
Wendell whispered to Carlisle, "The young lady at the entrance looks a lot like Howard's sister, Sharon!"
"She is Sharon!" Carlisle confirmed.
"No way! What are the odds? You just arrived in Yorkle yesterday and already bumped into Sharon?"
Wendell's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Alright. Take me to the company now," Carlisle instructed.
"Yes, boss!"
Wendell nodded, leading Carlisle to the company where he worked-10KFresh.
10KFresh had branches in multiple regions across the country, each supplying groceries to many fresh food supermarkets. It was more of a large warehouse than an ordinary company.
As they entered the company's premises, Carlisle saw trucks lined up, waiting to be loaded.
Wendell whispered to Carlisle, "10KFresh is a subsidiary of Golden Happiness Group. They focused on modern agriculture, animal husbandry, deep processing of agricultural products, and the frozen and warm delivery of fresh food.
"They aimed to expand to ten thousand supermarkets and achieved this in just two and a half years. They're indeed a formidable company!"
Carlisle was quite familiar with 10KFresh as he had studied the company out of boredom in his past life.
He remembered that they would also launch an app that would allow customers to have their groceries delivered to their doorsteps. The company's rapid growth was largely due to the support of Golden Happiness Group.
Golden Happiness Group was a well-funded venture capital firm, investing in many large domestic enterprises.
Even internet giants Penguin Group and GoSearch had their backing. These two companies had already reached annual revenue of three billion in this era.
Golden Happiness Group's legal representative was Ruth Sweeney, a renowned venture capital queen.
Since 10KFresh was wholly owned by Golden Happiness Group but managed by the Murrays, it appeared that the Murrays were the true bosses behind Golden Happiness Group.
"Wendell!"
Two of Wendell's comrades, who had come to Yorksle with him, approached Wendell and Carlisle with croissants, donuts, and coffees in their hands.
Kevin handed Carlise one set of breakfast and said, "Boss, you haven't had your breakfast yet, right? This is for you."
"Thank you."
With a polite smile, Carlisle accepted the breakfast.
Kevin smiled sheepishly, then sat by the roadside and started eating.
The other comrade handed Wendell a set and said, "Here's yours, Wendell."
Wendell took the breakfast and started eating before it turned cold. Carlisle joined them, sitting by the roadside and munching on his croissant.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, Carlisle received a call from Gareth.
"Alumni Network is in trouble," Gareth said in a heavy, solemn tone.
Carlisle swallowed the piece of croissant in his mouth and took another bite, replying indistinctly, "Is it about the ads? I'm aware of it."
Gareth replied gravely, "Alumni Network has been found hosting explicit photos and information regarding solicitation. The cyber monitoring department has ordered Alumni Network to cease operation for rectification!"Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
