Life at the Top

After walking out from the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, the smile on Celine’s face gradually dissipated.

By the time she arrived at a black commercial vehicle that had been parked at the entrance of the hotel for a long time, the expression on her face was impassive.

The door of the commercial vehicle slid open to reveal two men and two women sitting inside the car. One of the blonde women spoke out in a sarcastic tone, “Miss Maynard, have you finished catching up with your friend? If you’re done, we should go now. We have fulfilled your request to visit Jasper Laine, but we hope that you can cooperate with us during our following investigation.”

Celine eyed the blonde woman coldly. “Catherine, don’t think that I’m oblivious about what happened between William and you. Didn’t the two of you cause the scandal in the office back then? He threw you aside for his own future. Just look at you now. So many years have passed, but you’re still so loyal to him,” she said.

Catherine’s expression darkened as she gritted her teeth. “Celine Maynard, don’t get ahead of yourself. Don’t forget that you’re now being investigated by the bank!” She blurted out.

“An investigation is just an investigation. What’s the matter? When have I ever said that I wouldn’t cooperate with you?” Celine questioned her in a frigid tone.

“It’s just an investigation. Maintain a polite attitude in front of me. I’m still the general manager of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments. In terms of position, I rank higher than any of you. If you offend me in any way, none of you will be let off easily.”

Celine finished speaking with an impassive expression on her face. She then got into the car.

“Start the car,” Celine took the initiative to give the order.

The employee that was in charge of driving the car was stunned. He turned to look at Catherine instinctively.

However, Catherine had a sullen expression plastered upon her face. She wanted to retort against Celine, but she did not dare to do so. “Start the car!” She said through gritted teeth.

The black commercial vehicle slowly left. It merged into the heavy traffic and headed toward the headquarters of Colossal Investments.
