Chapter 248 Stumbled Upon Something
As I returned to the lobby, I spotted Stella in the crowd. The person with her was Liora.
They seemed close as they chatted and laughed while approaching the ward.
I wondered if someone we knew got hospitalized but couldn’t think of any friends we
might share. Judging by their closeness, they had become quite intimate recently.
I paused, then turned to leave since it would be inconvenient for me to follow. Instead, I
called Grayson and asked him to find out who was in the hospital.
On the way back, I couldn’t help but wonder if Stella was visiting Celine. If she were, why
would Liora come to visit her? Did they have a connection? If so, it would be interesting. I
would have to dig deeper to discover when and how they had become acquainted,
That might explain why Celine had given up on the land near Operose during that critical
moment. Did
Celine have some dealings with Atticus?
Back at the office, Carol informed me that Tobshampton Group had sent a representative.
They wanted to discuss us becoming their agent. However, I heard they had already
chosen an agent not long ago.
I hadn’t rejected working with this company since I reclaimed Tanum Corporation. After all,
they had a

Moreover, their
reputation had always been good. Given they were an established brand, many customers
preferred them.
I had been busy with many things then and was upset when I discovered they had already
chosen their
agent. I told Carol to arrange a meeting, so she called their representative.
The representative agreed to have dinner together in the evening. For some reason, I
asked Carol if the
representative was male or female.
Carol understood my meaning and laughed cheerfully. “Ms. Chloe, I’ve noticed a change in
you since you
returned from the vacation. You’re so entertaining and cheerful. It makes me happier than
receiving a
bonus!
“It seems like I didn’t give you enough bonus during the New Year. That’s why you’re
flattering me like this,
right?”
She giggled. “Oh, please! So many other companies in this building envy us. They can’t
believe how lively.
it is here, and we even get year–end bonuses despite everything that happened. It’s like a
miracle. Many of
them just receive gifts”
boasted, “Let’s make them even more jealous by the end of the year. If I’m in a good
mood, I might buy

I felt like I was s on cloud nine while Carol laughed heartily, slapping the table. “Whenever
you say
something, it always comes true. When you buy the whole building, I’ll be on top of the
world.”
I chuckled with a sense of satisfaction. “Hurry up and arrange the meeting! With my mood
today, I might
hit the jackpot!”
Carol turned to make arrangements, but I asked her, “Hey! You haven’t told me the gender
of the
representative!”

“Oh… Who?” I got into character. “You said her name was what?”
“Eleanor Wallist,” Carol repeated.
I slammed the table and burst into laughter. “It’ll be a piece of cake! I realized my ideas
are working
today. It seems this year’s going perfectly. My luck is unbelievable.”
Carol looked at me, somewhat surprised. “Do… you know her?”
“I met her this morning, but you can still arrange the meeting. We’re the hosts, after all.
We should treat
her well,” I said to Carol.
Carol made the arrangements while I thought about Eleanor’s appearance. I knew she was
savvy and
hadn’t expected to meet someone like her. Our meeting was undoubtedly unique. We’d
have a good chat
tonight.
Grayson walked in before I could settle down. He smiled slyly, saying, “Ms. Chloe, I found
out who got
admitted to the hospital. Care to guess?”
