First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Having Them Work Together

Serena Jennings arrived at The Wyvern Hotel, Peony Room.

Inside, there were already quite a few people seated, all dressed formally in suits, with Vester Lowell being the only woman present. Vester Lowell was also the only person Serena knew.

This business deal was introduced to Serena by Vester Lowell, and it was said to be a major government project.

Serena didn’t dare to slack off, appearing very formal in her dress, appearance, and demeanor.

Initially, after Serena arrived, Vester Lowell thought everyone was present, but Director Lowell said to wait a bit longer, as he had invited another group.

"Who is it? How come I don’t know?"

Just as Vester Lowell finished speaking, Serena saw the door of the room open.

Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw entered Serena’s sight.

Upon seeing Serena, both Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw were taken aback.

Neither party was aware that the other was also attending the dinner today.

"What does Director Lowell mean by this!"

Vester Lowell looked displeased, "I wasn’t told that the person I introduced would have a competitor."

Although Director Lowell held the title of director, he didn’t dare offend Vester Lowell, and quickly smiled apologetically: "It couldn’t be helped, it’s what the higher-ups wanted... Miss Jennings and Miss Shaw are both City A’s top emerging designers, and the leadership’s intention is for them to cooperate on this project, leveraging each other’s strengths!"

Serena and Claire Shaw looked at each other simultaneously.

It was obvious Director Lowell’s leadership didn’t know about their relationship, or they would never have asked them to collaborate.

Despite Director Lowell’s assurances, Vester Lowell still looked sullen, appearing to stand up for Serena.

Because Vester Lowell knew Serena was BYC, Claire Shaw’s level couldn’t compare to Serena’s.

Country A planned to hold the Brilliant Star - New Silk Road International Cultural Exchange in November, with 60 countries in attendance.

The cultural department wanted Serena and Claire Shaw to collaborate to create 60 pieces of jewelry as gifts for the foreign dignitaries, each reflecting the cultural character of Country A.

Neither Serena nor Claire Shaw wanted to miss this prime opportunity to showcase their studio’s capabilities, so both agreed to collaborate.

"Alright, alright, cooperation it is... But what’s President Lockwood here for? Have you started learning jewelry design?"

Vester Lowell sarcastically quipped at Caleb Lockwood.

She wasn’t clear on the exact relationship between Serena, Caleb Lockwood, and Claire Shaw, but from her sixth sense, she had a rough idea.

Thus, she didn’t have a good impression of Caleb Lockwood or Claire Shaw.

"President Lockwood is clearly the gallant knight here! As far as I know, wherever Miss Shaw is, President Lockwood is never absent," Director Lowell said with a laugh.

Caleb Lockwood smirked slightly, without saying a word, seemingly in agreement.

Yet his gaze inconspicuously fell on Serena.

Serena didn’t look at him, nor did she look at Claire Shaw.

Serena didn’t look at anyone, focused only on eating, as if she hadn’t heard Director Lowell’s words at all.

Or perhaps she heard them and simply didn’t care.

Caleb Lockwood’s eyebrows furrowed unintentionally.

"If you want them to cooperate, surely there must be primary and secondary roles, right? Where will they normally work? All this back-and-forth won’t waste time?"

Seeing Vester Lowell’s assertive attitude, Serena knew Vester Lowell hadn’t given up, still wanting her to independently handle this government project.

However, Vester Lowell’s concern wasn’t unfounded; cooperation meant collaboration between two studios, requiring frequent meetings and discussions, so the office location was indeed a problem.

"Well..." Director Lowell rubbed his balding head.

Seeing Director Lowell’s troubled expression, both Serena and the others realized that neither Director Lowell nor his bosses had thought things through.
