N, adorned with delicate makeup, answered with a poised smile, “He’s in the restroom.


    I’m waiting for him.


    ”


    Lucinda gave a rxed nod and suggested, “Miss Diaz, how about sitting down and chatting with me?”


    “I’d be delighted.


    ”


    Lucinda shifted aside, and N gracefully took her seat.


    They remained a noticeable distance apart.


    This sense of distance between them wouldn’t go away.


    A minute passed by.


    The silence was finally broken when N took the lead and began to speak.


    “Miss Simmons, your coboration with DoWeier Group means that your business can now expand into international markets.


    Congrattions!”


    Lucinda gazed at her lovely visage and replied in aposed manner, “I appreciate it.


    ”


    N expressed her disappointment, saying, “It’s such a shame.


    Your idea of expanding into the international market with DoWeier Group’s assistance may not work out.


    ”


    Lucinda narrowed her eyes attentively, carefully analyzing the look on N’s face.


    “What are you implying?”


    N smiled faintly, her eyes carrying remorse as she exined, “Last night, I discussed with Danilo about DoWeier Group’s project bid.

    ”


    She was consistently thorough in her work and had confidence in her skills and professional expertise.


    Even without connections, she was confident that her business n alone would secure the project.


    N noticed the self-assured demeanor Lucinda radiated.


    She sighed, “You’re truly captivating when you’re self-assured.


    However, it’s important to recognize that in this country, the Simmons and Payne families don’t hold the ultimate sway.


    There’s always someone more influential.


    ”


    Lucinda fixed her gaze on N, sensing a familiar air about her.


    “Miss Diaz, upon our first encounter, you reminded me of someone from my past.


    ”


    N’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, “Oh? Who might that be?”


    “My sister.


    ” Lucinda spoke casually, yet her gaze remained locked on N.


    A hint of astonishment crossed N’s face.


    “Really? It was intriguing to hear you find a semnce between us.


    ”


    Lucinda scoffed, “But I have no fondness for her.


    She is just an illegitimate daughter of my father, harboring illusions of taking my ce.

    N’s initial amusement faded, her eyes moistening.
