Chapter 244
The university was like a smaller form of real society. The news that Roberto would be working with
Lane Holdings spread like wildfire on campus. And just as Hesper stepped out of Genecity University,
Isaac’s phone call came through.
“Ms. Lane, about the collaboration between Mr. Sanchez and the Lanes…”
Hesper watched as Jessie got on the bus, listening to Isaac’s report. “Ms. Lane, the company’s
collaboration with Mr. Sanchez has created a lot of noise in the public, but you didn’t seem to tell me
about this matter before, and it also wasn’t mentioned in that to-do-list that Renee handed over to me-”
While Isaac’s voice came from the other end of the call, Hesper’s own voice sounded a little distorted in
the storm. She quickly gave out orders and arranged things to be done in the company then asked
Isaac to send someone over to pick her up.
Isaac was not the only one who did not know about Roberto and Lane Holdings’ collaboration, as even
Hesper did not know anything about it. Up until this moment, she still thought that she was dreaming.
‘Roberto isn’t someone that our company can persuade easily. With his current status and reputation,
money is just a number to him. The money that he could earn from just one draft might already be
enough to compete with the amount that he might get through this cross-field collaboration.’
Recalling the business card that Nathaniel gave her without explaining what the “surprise” that he
mentioned during the conversation the other day was, Hesper realized that Roberto’s contact
information was not Nathaniel’s actual gift. This collaboration was the matter that he had been referring
to!
By the time she looked into all the affairs the company faced and arranged them in an orderly manner,
it was already late at night.
The sudden torrential rain made the whole city look inexplicably depressed.
Almost everyone in the company had left. After all, no one liked such high-intensity overtime work. But
after seeing the objective revenue that Roberto would bring to the company in advance, no one could
complain.
Who would not love to earn more money?
Hesper was not stingy with the compensation either. She paid everyone who stayed back triple for their
effort.
“It’s getting late, Ms. Lane. Are you planning to go home at all?” After bringing the compiled documents
to the department located floors below and coming back, Isaac saw Hesper sitting at the desk
pondering. about something, so he stepped forward and draped a coat over her shoulders.
“Huh…? Thanks.”
Hesper took a glimpse of the time and rubbed her dry eyes. She was so busy just now that she did not
even have the time to look at the clock.
‘It’s already past 2AM. No wonder the lights outside the office have been going off one after another.
“I guess I won’t be getting any sleep tonight. I still have some documents to go through.” Hesper
straightened her posture, rubbed her stiff neck, and glanced at the chat box between her and Renee,
who had not contacted her since she asked for leave the other day. She could not help but feel a little
uneasy.
“Did Renee contact you yesterday? What happened to her?”
Isaac shook his head. “She didn’t tell me anything. Speaking of which, I haven’t heard from her all day.
Hearing what Isaac said, Hesper sighed, lowered her head, and sent Renee a message.
Ever since Renee became her assistant, she was like a woman made of steel. She never took any
medical leaves or personal leaves, so Hesper was unused to not having her by her side due to the Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
illness.
Considering the time, Hesper did not expect Renee to reply to her immediately, but she was a little
worried about Renee’s current situation, as no one was around to take care of her, and she did not
know what was going on with her.
Seeing that Hesper had not rested all this time, Isaac stayed back and helped her from the side.
Seeing that it was dawn, the two of them looked at the pile of documents and sighed indistinctly.
“Let’s stop here for now. We’ll continue later.”
