Marrying

Before Matthew could figure out the situation, a knock came at the door. Mr. Moreno of the product department came in to report on work. 

Under Matthew’s leadership, Noria Group was about to establish a new car dealership, aiming to provide an integrated one–stop service and become the most comprehensive and luxurious large–scale car dealership in the field. All preparations were now in place, and the final stage of talent recruitment was about to begin. 

“Mr. Grant, as per your instructions, the employees needed for the new project will be selected from car dealerships under Noria Group…” 

It was precisely for this reason that they gathered the elites from all branches today for a meeting. The new department had promising prospects, and the treatment was undoubtedly the best. As a result, everyone in Noria Group’s car dealerships was busting their butts to get in. 

Mr. Moreno was going on and on when Matthew’s deep voice interrupted, “Let Arcton Cars participate, too.” 

Upon hearing this, Mr. Moreno was instantly stunned, looking at Matthew with uncertainty and anxiety, afraid that he had misheard. Arcton Cars was just a small brand acquired, dealing in mid to low–end businesses, and they even caused a scene in the conference hall yesterday. Even in talent selection, the folks from Arcton Cars were just there to make up the numbers. 

However, since it was Matthew’s suggestion, Mr. Moreno naturally had no objections. He couldn’t help but wonder why Matthew suddenly got so interested in Arcton Cars. 

At the same time, Charles watched from the side, finding it amusing. 

He mused that what had caught Matthew’s attention wasn’t Arcton Cars but Valerie, who had saved Sophia. Since Matthew knew about this, he couldn’t just sit on his hands, so he took a roundabout approach by offering Arcton two chances to compete as a subtle way to express his gratitude 

to Valerie. 

Mr. Grant might as well just tell Sophia the truth. If Sophia knew that her lifesaver is now Mrs. Grant, she’d be on cloud nine and definitely wouldn’t bother Mr. Grant over this matter anymore!‘ pondered Charles. 

There were quite a few people in the morning at Arcton Cars. The staff had to eat in shifts, and it wasn’t until almost two o’clock that the customers at the dealership thinned out, allowing the staff to finally sit down and catch their breath. 

Katherine had already heard about the incident at Noria’s venue yesterday and was fuming, determined to find Isabel to stand up for Valerie. After half a day passed without a glimpse of Isabel, Katherine went around asking about her whereabouts. 

“Can you believe it, Valerie? Our general manager, who’s usually just cradling his coffee, smiling at everyone, actually blew up in the office yesterday when he found out about Isabel’s scheme against you! Isabel’s been fired; no wonder she didn’t show up this morning; not even her stuff’s been cleared out. Probably too embarrassed to come back,” Katherine said. 

“Fired?” Valerie was a bit surprised upon hearing this. 

Although yesterday’s incident was messy, Isabel was under Dylan’s protection, and it was precisely because of Dylan that Isabel dared to be so reckless. Valerie didn’t expect to really do anything to Isabel but just wanted Isabel to suffer a loss and stay away from her in the future. But she didn’t expect the usually low–profile general manager actually to kick Isabel out this time. 

However, upon reflection, she felt it made sense. They were at the Noria Group’s venue, after all. Noria Group probably said something, so even Dylan couldn’t keep Isabel. Considering his relationship with Isabel was just a show, he certainly wouldn’t risk his future for her. 

In the middle of the conversation, Dylan suddenly strode in, his mouth spewing fire like he had just swallowed gunpowder. “Stop chatting during work hours. We’re having a meeting!” 

With that, he slammed his briefcase onto the table, his face full of anger. When he looked at Valerie, he seemed to want to bore a hole right through her. 

But he couldn’t show it outright, so he just indiscriminately lashed out at everyone, especially the two lagging behind in performance. He would’ve loved to yell at Valerie Warren, but she was the top salesperson again this month, leaving Dylan no chance to find any fault with her. Yet, letting her off the hook just didn’t sit right with him. 

After some thought, he started slyly, “I’m going on a business trip to Sandimore City the day after tomorrow for a major collaboration with a travel company. Valerie, you’re coming with me!” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
