Cynthia figured that since Dominic had eaten her lunch—at the very least, for the sake of their acquaintance—he'd grant her a meeting.
But she waited and waited, watching as everyone else in the reception hall filed out, and still, no word came that Dominic was willing to see her.
The girl sitting next to her stood up and leaned over, whispering quietly, "Come on, let's try again tomorrow."
Cynthia forced a brittle smile. "I'll wait a little longer."
The girl sighed, casting a worried glance at the front desk. "If you don't leave soon, the receptionist is going to kick you out."
Cynthia stayed put, unmoving. Seeing her so determined, the girl shook her head and left without another word.
Before long, Cynthia was the only one left in the vast reception area.
Her gaze remained fixed on the executive elevator, alert and unwavering, as if the doors might open at any moment.
Meanwhile, her mind was whirring.
She realized she couldn't just sit around doing nothing.
If Dominic wouldn't see her, then she'd have to prove her worth another way.
She opened her phone, scrolled to Dominic's contact, and quickly drafted a detailed plan for Holloway Enterprises' expansion in Cloudcrest City—outlining key phases and strategies for each major project milestone.
If Dominic wanted to play hardball, then she'd show him exactly what she brought to the table.
After all, she had spent ten years living in Cloudcrest City, seven of those running her own business.
She knew the city's commercial landscape inside and out.
If Dominic wanted to set up a new Holloway Enterprises facility in Cloudcrest City, she could identify the perfect locations, craft a full proposal, and help the company maximize profits in record time.
These strategies had been etched into her mind for months, just waiting for the right moment—she'd originally planned to roll them out once VistaSphere Group's situation stabilized.
But then the trouble with Giselle happened.
Now, all those plans could be repurposed for Holloway Enterprises' Cloudcrest branch.
