Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, three years had gone by just like that.
After shifting my focus back to my work, I completed project after project and quickly rose through the ranks. I started as a regular executive and eventually ascended to my current role as department head.
The chairman had promised that I would be promoted to deputy CEO if I could secure a project worth at least one million dollars. I was eager for the opportunity to arise.
Fate seemed to work in my favor. Shortly after, I was presented with the opportunity to do
So.
The company I would be dealing with was a multinational company that had its eyes set on our country. They called me up personally and gave me a ludicrous offer. If I managed to secure their business, it would bring massive benefits to me and my company.
I was very excited over the next few days. I gave myself a pep talk and prepared to meet with the multinational company’s upper management to discuss the contract.
The day finally arrived. I headed out early in the morning because I was to meet the company representative at the airport.
A man walked out from the arrival gate and headed straight for me.
My heart wouldn’t stop thumping against my ribcage as I hurried over toward him. However, as soon as I caught sight of his face, I was stunned.
It was none other than Colton Skye.
He smiled slightly at me.
“I’m friends with the chairman of this multinational company. He’s put me completely in charge of this investment project.”
I stared at the familiar stranger before me and felt conflicted.
Was he going to make things hard for me on purpose?
I initially thought the collaboration would fall through. However, Colton didn’t purposely jeopardize anything. In fact, he kept standing up for me and defending me throughout the meeting.
