Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Mr. Labbe had never met anyone who insisted he wait for a scheduled appointment.

Whether they were interested in partnering or not, nobody had ever treated him so dismissively.

The only real challenge he faced was from the female head of the Ormond family.

He began to suspect that the Ormonds were not keen on cooperating with the Labbe Group.

“Since you've already booked an appointment for next summer, Mr. Labbe, I suggest you return then,’ Tinsley said.

“With the holiday season approaching, it's unlikely we could reach an agreement now.

Plus, my sister’s schedule is packed, and she really can’t make any extra time.” She added apologetically, “I’m truly sorry, Mr. Labbe, but there’s nothing more I can do to help with this.” Mr. Labbe forced a smile.

“I was hoping to take a shortcut and jump the line, but if your sister’s schedule Is that tight, I understand.” “When is your company’s annual break? I’ve prepared some gifts for you and your team.

Just let me know when youre free, and I'll arrange to have them delivered,” he said smoothly.
