His Coy Lover

“Ready.”

Zelda replied, “I’ve prepared the gift for Yemmy.”

“In the future, participate in more business receptions, charity events. Not just because you’re now Winston’s young lady, but if you take over the Roscente Group in the future, socializing will be necessary. Make more friends; it will be beneficial for your future path.”

“Thank you for the advice, Dad. I’ll keep that in mind.”

However, she wanted to make friends, but others might not want to befriend her.

It had been a year since her return to the Roscente, and Cindy was the only one who genuinely considered her a friend.

Cindy said she would come back in two days.

She would also attend Yemmy’s birthday party.

“Between you and Elle, Dad still hopes that you can be sisterly. She has gained some reputation and connections in the business world by following Dad’s footsteps. In the company, her words carry weight.”

If he hadn’t found out about the daughter being switched, Peck would have started planning for retirement.

“When you first enter the company, even with Dad guiding you, many high-level executives will undoubtedly be critical of you. They might even make things difficult for you in secret. If you can get along with Elle like sisters, she will at least protect you a bit.”

“Zelda, does Dad’s words make sense to you?”

Zelda looked serious.

She understood her father’s intention.

Before she had the ability to take over the Roscente Group, it was best not to oppose Elle. Otherwise, she could easily be driven out of the Roscente by Elle and other high-level executives.

Even though the Roscente Group was the property of the Roscente family, her father couldn’t offend so many high-level executives just for her.

“Dad, I understand.”

However, if she pretended to be friendly with Elle, would Elle really protect and assist her?

Impossible!

Elle’s goal had always been the Roscente Group.

How could she watch Zelda climb up step by step until she had the ability to take over the Roscente Group?

As Charles put it, as long as Zelda was the Roscente’s biological daughter, whether she competed or not, Elle would treat her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

So, she had no need to please Elle.

“You promised your mom that you’d go home for lunch. It’s getting late now; you should go back.”

Peck looked at his watch. “Dad also needs to meet clients.”

“Yes, Dad. Starting from tomorrow, can I learn from you and follow you for a while? I’ll officially start work next Monday.”

Thinking that Elle would be taking care of her mom these days, Peck nodded and said, “Alright, you can come learn the ways of business with Dad starting tomorrow. But don’t neglect Charles.”

How could she neglect Charles?

“Dad, I know. Dad, go ahead and take care of your business. I’ll go home and have lunch with my mom.”

Father and daughter walked out of the CEO’s office together.

Zelda didn’t have a car, and Winston’s driver had left. She didn’t dare let her father know about Vinson looking for her, so she lied to her father, saying she was waiting for Winston’s driver to pick her up.

Watching her father’s car gradually leave the Roscente Group, Zelda hailed a taxi.

“Where to, miss?”

After getting in the car, the driver asked.

“I’m going to the Winston’s Empire Group.”

Zelda changed her mind and decided to go to the Empire Group first to appease her husband before going home to have lunch with her mother.

Anyway, it wasn’t lunchtime yet.

“Alright.”

Whether entering or leaving the Roscente Group, she would pass by the Empire Group.

The driver quickly brought Zelda to the Empire Group.

After paying the fare and getting out of the car, Zelda stood at the entrance of the Empire Group’s building, first admiring the sixty-eight-story office building.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Compared to her own company and Winston’s company, there was no comparison at all.

The Winston’s Empire Group was not a place where anyone could enter. Zelda hadn’t made an appointment, and for the duty security guard, it was simply wishful thinking to meet Charles without an appointment.

“Charles is very busy. You haven’t made an appointment, so you can’t enter, let alone see Charles. Miss, please leave.”

The security guard politely asked Zelda to leave.

“I know Charles is very busy. I really have an urgent matter to discuss with him. It’s a matter of great urgency. Please inform him that Zelda is here. I’m sure, once Charles knows, he will see me.”

Zelda?

The switched daughter of the Roscente family.

When Charles’s cold and low voice sounded, the secretary quickly said, “CEO, Zelda wants to see you. She’s at the company’s entrance now.”

Charles frowned.

She found her way to the company.

See or not to see?

Charles hesitated briefly.

“CEO?”

The secretary, who had been waiting for a reply for a long time, cautiously called out again.

“Let her in.”

Charles hung up the internal line after saying that. He was afraid that if he acted slowly, he might change his mind.

Living two lifetimes, it was the first time Zelda entered the Winston’s Empire Group.

Being the number one group in River Town, even though she was accompanied by polite staff all the way, she still felt a bit nervous.

It took several minutes for her to reach the top floor.

“Zelda, hello, I’m Charles’s secretary.”

“Hello.”

“The CEO is waiting for Zelda in the office. Please follow me, Miss Second.”

“Thank you.”

While thanking, Zelda followed.

This office building occupied a vast area. Except for the top floor, where there were many employees, the top floor only housed Charles and his secretary, making it particularly quiet.

The secretary, wearing high heels, made a loud noise as she walked on the quiet floor.

The secretary led Zelda to the CEO’s office. She raised her hand to knock on the door. After stopping for a minute, she pushed open the office door.

“Zelda, wait a moment.”

Zelda nodded.

The secretary entered the office alone. Zelda could hear what she said to Charles.
