Chapter 105 Emery Was Protective The next morning, Tiffany had just rolled out of bed when she got a call from Finnian. He told her he was already waiting at the hotel entrance, ready to take her to meet Emery.
Tiffany hung up, left her room, and took the elevator down to the lobby. As soon as she stepped out, she unexpectedly bumped into Miguel and Ralph.
The two were ahead of her, dressed to the nines in high-end suits and carrying a bunch of documents.
Miguel turned around. Seeing Tiffany, he looked a bit surprised. But then his expression turned cold, and he gave her a disdainful look.
He was about to say something when he noticed Finnian outside the hotel door. His cold expression immediately turned into a fawning smile as he quickly walked over. "Mr. Caldwell, what brings you here? No need to be so polite. We actually drove ourselves and can get there on our own." Seeing Finnian, Miguel assumed he was there to pick them up and immediately extended his hand to shake Finnian's.
Finnian responded politely with a smile, shaking his hand, but his eyes were on Tiffany behind him.
Tiffany smiled and nodded at Finnian.

He didn't expect Tiffany to have connections in the northern suburbs, and from the way Finnian looked at her, they seemed quite familiar.
Finnian withdrew his hand and was about to respond to Miguel's earlier comment. "Mr. Larson, there might be a..." Before Finnian could finish the word "misunderstanding," Tiffany stepped forward, looked at Miguel, and said mockingly, "Mr. Larson, is it possible that Mr. Caldwell is not here for you?" Hearing Tiffany's words, Miguel looked at her smugly, not taking her seriously at all, and retorted, "If he's not here for me, then is he here for you?" As soon as Miguel finished speaking, the subsequent scene left him extremely embarrassed.
Finnian stepped forward, smiling, and respectfully invited Tiffany into the car. "Miss Grey, sorry to keep you waiting. Ms. Franklin is already waiting for you." "Alright, let's go." Before leaving, Tiffany glanced at Miguel, who was stunned, and closed the car door. The two quickly left, leaving Miguel at a loss.
His palms were sweaty as he turned to Ralph, his lips trembling. "The Ms. Franklin she mentioned... could it be Emery Franklin?" Miguel's face showed a look of horror, and he began to have a bad feeling.
Ralph patted his shoulder, nodded, and said calmly, "Miguel, you should know that Finnian works for Emery. Besides her, there shouldn't be any other Ms. Franklin in the northern suburbs." Hearing this, Miguel's legs almost gave out, and he nearly lost his balance.
Thinking about Finnian's respectful attitude towards Tiffany, it seemed she was highly regarded. If Tiffany said a few bad words about him in front of Emery, wouldn't his project be doomed? "Ralph, you have a good relationship with Tiffany. She wouldn't do anything to harm the Larson Corporation, right?" Miguel asked without much confidence.
"Miguel, my relationship with Miss Grey is personal and separate from business. From a company perspective, we are not on the sside." Hearing that, Miguel could barely stand. Ralph quickly steadied him, though his expression remained calm. Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free.

Miguel was extremely worried because when he got the project, he boasted to everyone at the company that he would successfully complete it and promised employees a generous year-end bonus.
If he returned empty-handed, he would face employees' questions and Derek's scolding for losing such an important collaboration for the Larson Corporation.
"Miguel, it's getting late. We can't keep Ms. Franklin waiting. Besides, the project's outcis not yet decided. Our offer is good, and Ms. Franklin was initially willing to cooperate." Seeing Miguel still unmoved, Ralph checked the time. If they delayed any longer, Emery might misunderstand their commitment to the collaboration.
Miguel clenched his fists and spat. "Tiffany's here to mess up my deal! I won't let her get away with it." With that, he stormed off to the hotel's underground garage.
Ralph followed him, sighing helplessly. He knew Tiffany well. Even if there were personal grudges, she prioritized interests. Tiffany probably had no intention of interfering with the project.
Moreover, he had met Emery before, and she wasn't someone who would disregard interests easily. The collaboration should be fine. Only someone as simple-minded as Miguel would worry unnecessarily.
As soon as Tiffany arrived at the Franklin Group, Finnian took her to Emery's office.
"Miss Grey, I'll go prepare for the meeting. Ms. Franklin is waiting for you inside." "Alright." Tiffany nodded. After Finnian left, she knocked on the office door and then pushed it open.
Emery was still facing away, leaning on her office chair. The noise from the door caught her attention, and she turned around, meeting Tiffany's gaze.

Emery, full of surprise, immediately got up and rushed into her arms, acting playfully. "Tiffany, you cback to the country but didn't visit the northern suburbs. I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?" Emery asked, linking her arm with Tiffany's and leading her to the sofa, pouring two cups of hot tea and handing one to Tiffany.
Once Emery sat down, Tiffany began talking about herself. "After returning to the country, I opened my own stuin Harmony City. During that time, I also found my second child. Things are going alright. But you, it seems like you're collaborating with more and more companies. Your projects must be doing well." Tiffany spoke lightly about Barry, her expression relaxed. But when praising Emery's work, she couldn't hide her smile.
Emery blushed and spoke with a hint of melancholy. "Thanks to you. If you hadn't helpedback then, I wouldn't have achieved what have today. Today's meeting is mainly to prepare for the company's development zone. I even invited Mr. Cooper from Harmony City. By the way, Tiffany, I remember you and he... If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have invited him. If you don't want to see him, you don't have to attend." Emery hesitated, looking at Tiffany with concern, worried she might have reservations. "It's fine. Since I have ttoday, I'll attend the meeting," Tiffany spoke nonchalantly, putting down her cup and watching Emery closely. Then she casually asked, "Emery, did you discuss a project with the Larson Corporation, letting them invest in and manage a development zone?"
"Yes, the company has several development projects. The Larson Corporation chose one area. They hafizessed seemed interested, so we discussed it for half a month and finalized it.
half a The Larson Corporation representatives should attend the meeting today and sign the contract. But Tiffany, how did you know about this?" Emery looked at Tiffany in confusion. She hadn't had a chance to inform Tiffany, planning to share the good news after signing the contract. "I have sconflicts with the Larson Corporation, so I looked into it. I cto the northern suburbs mainly for this." Hearing the word "conflict," Emery's face darkened, and she spoke without hesitation. "Tiffany, I'll call Miguel and tell him the project is terminated. I can't collaborate with someone who bullied you!" Emery was always protective, especially of Tiffany. Her principle was that she could tolerate being bullied, but no one could bully Tiffany.
Seeing Emery about to make the call, Tiffany quickly grabbed her hand.
"Emery, no need. This is a multi-million dollar doration it's beneficial for the company. I just don't want Miguel to be too smug, so I cto discuss it with you. We can..." Tiffany whispered in her ear, and Emery's eyes sparkled as she nodded repeatedly. "Alright, Tiffany, we'll do as you say. I'll have Finnian draft the contract, and then I'll handle it. We'll catch him off guard." Emery then immediately contacted Finnian. And with the contract ready, the meeting was about to start. Emery took Tiffany to the meeting venue.
