"I am sure the representatives are outside, waiting to come in," Philip said and waved at the security to let them in.
To his anger, the men guarding the door did not acknowledge him and turned to look at Patrick instead.
Patrick gave a nod, and they opened the door.
Despite his initial anger, Philip smiled happily upon seeing the three who walked in.
Ixora, the representative for health company Aegle Co. Xuelin, the CEO of Xuelin Co (yes, Xing Han's ex-fiancee) and Vince from Cosa Nostra, Country I.
He had used the name of Aegle Company to actually persuade those shareholders from selling some of their shares and sometimes put in Xuelin's company as additional bait.
The two local companies – one having gone international, and one on the verge (or has the potential to) go international – were extremely enticing and persuasive collaborations.
Well, duh.
Of course you should feel fear.
Too stupid to realise that from the beginning.
Tsk.
