Chapter 456 Resisting Your Lead And Move Backwards
“Mr. Guerra, you’re too kind” Whitney immediately turned her attention away from Lysanne. Her face lit up with a smile as she engaged in a discussion about the project with him.
Daphnie drew in a sharp breath as uncertainty washing over her. She wasn’t sure if Josiah had heard the harsh words she’d spoken behind his back. With a tinge of guilt, she subtly moved a few steps behind Lysander.
Josiah had deliberately donned a smoky grey suit for the occasion. The tailored fit accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs, making his impressive physique even more striking. He naturally exuded an aura of authority the moment he stood there.
Tiffany tilted her face up and gave him a smile. “Jose!”
“Mm.” Josiah responded gently. His gaze naturally swept over Daphne and Lysander who were standing before him. Then he turned to Whitney and asked, “Ms. Spears, are you also acquainted with Ms. Everhart?”
Upon seeing how swiftly the topic had changed, Whitney was only briefly taken aback before she continued, “I only met Ms. Everhart recently. I heard that Everhart Corporation is currently seeking financing, so we got together to discuss it. Oh, and her friend, Dr. Thorne, is quite the professional. She has just cleared up quite a few things for me.”
Josiah turned his head, raising an eyebrow. “Oh?”
Whitney chuckled, “However, having a conversation with Dr. Thorne is quite straightforward. We say what we mean, and everyone is rather direct. It makes communication much more efficient.”
Holding his wine glass, Josiah clinked it against hers. “You all are experts in your respective fields, but she isn’t as adept at socializing as you. She’s a bit stubborn and not really good at small talk. Let me raise a toast to you on her behalf if she has offended you in any way.”
Having said that, he tilted his head back, draining every last drop of red wine from his glass.
Whitney’s previously wavering heart instantly settled down after hearing the tone of the conversation. “Not at all, Dr. Thorne is a professional. She has a promisingly bright future based on her skills alone, so there’s no need for these nebulous social courtesies. Rest assured, Mr. Guerra, my conversation with Dr. Thorne went very well.”
“That’s good then.”
Whitney asked a probing question, “It seems like Dr. Thorne and Ms. Everhart are quite close. Is it Ms. Everhart who invites her over today?”
Josiah asked, “Is it about the fundraising matter?”
“Yeah, about the current situation of the Everhart family…” Whitney chuckled lightly, “Actually, I’m a bit. puzzled too. If they were such good friends, why did Mr. Guerra suddenly abandon Everhart Corporation and choose to collaborate with Riveron Corporation instead?”
