She remained silent and thought for a while before looking up at me and asking, "So, are you returning to family life? Or are you going full-time again?"
I immediately replied, "No. I''m interested in the Old Bourdamun resort development project. I have some ideas."
"A branded resort?" Lauren asked.
"That''s right! And it''s not just this one. I''ll leverage the momentum to continue expanding downward and establish the first chain base for tourism, leisure, food, culture, and more, if possible. Whenever someone thinks about going on vacation, they''ll think of us!" I got excited just talking about this idea.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"You''re on fire! You''re ambitious, huh?" Ivanna looked at me, picked up a golden starfruit, and took a bite. "I might as well invest in it too!"
"No problem! Aren''t you going to do your show anymore?" I asked, looking at Ivanna.
"It won''t interfere with this. I have experience in this area, and resorts need publicity too. I have the resources. If we want to drum up some publicity, it''ll be easy for me," Ivanna said seriously.
When she said that, my eyes lit up. "You''re right! A brand needs culture and a strong support system too. Think about it, Ivanna. When you have time, you should give it more thought. If we do it ourselves instead of involving outside shareholders, the three of us can make a big impact together!" The three of us continued to brainstorm until noon. I stood up and said, "Let''s go get something to eat outside. There''s nothing at home." They both immediately agreed.
The three of us drove away from Amethyst Apartments.
Lauren drove while talking to us in the back seat. "Why don''t we go to Al Dente? You like it there."
After getting our approval, we headed straight to Al Dente. I didn''t expect to see an old "friend" when we exited the car at the entrance.
That person was Harmony Hampton, who had undergone stic surgery.
We hadn''t seen her since the Liora incident. She was apanied by a fresh and handsome man who didn''t look very old. They seemed very close and were definitely more than ordinary friends.
When Harmony sensed that someone was watching her, she turned to face us. Her eyes narrowed slightly, obscuring all emotions. She nced at me with a dim and unclear gaze as if she were seeing a stranger. Then, she walked into Al Dente gracefully, arm in arm with the man.
The three of us exchanged knowing smiles without saying much. After all, it had been a long time, and as the saying goes, "live and let live".
In my heart, I sincerely hoped she would find a suitable partner, especially after what happened tast time. Harmony was just a pawn. She had been used and ended up in a tragic situation.
It looked like she had found a new person, so she should start a new life.
We entered Al Dente. We had made a reservation in advance, so we went straight to the elevator to go upstairs.
Lauren whispered, "Looks like we shouldn''t underestimate anyone who can dine here."
"Hey! I''m d she''s found a good partner."
"That''s not necessarily true. A leopard doesn''t change its spots," Ivanna said disdainfully. "She''s not a smart person."
Ivanna was right. Harmony was not very intelligent; otherwise, she wouldn''t have been manipted by Liora time and time again.
We got a private room and continued chatting after ordering some food.
Just then, my phone rang. I frowned as I picked it up and saw "Trinity" shing on the screen.
Lauren noticed my strange
bet
expression and leaned over to take a
look. When she saw it was Trin
she said, "Have you talked to her
since you came back?"
I shook my head and quickly answered the call. Trinity''s voice came from the other end. "Chloe, are you back?"
"You''re quite well-informed, aren''t you?" I chuckled. "Yes, I''m back. I came backst night."
"Where are you?" Trinity asked casually.
"I''m at Al Dente! Are youing?"
I casually asked that question without thinking, but I knew I had said the wrong thing as soon as the words left my mouth. I immediately looked at Ivanna. I wanted to retract what I had said, but it was toote.
