There would be an afternoon meeting. Ariana and Johan briefly discussed further issues about the execution of the plan before getting in the elevator together.
Because of Johan's witty nature, Ariana occasionally laughed loudly when they chatted about interesting things.
When they reached the conference room's door, they coincidentally ran into Lambert and Beverly. Seeing Ariana and Johan so engrossed in their conversation, Lambert slightly raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"Ah!” Ariana stepped back a bit, wanting to make way for them, but accidentally bumped into the money tree pot by the door and almost fell.
Although Lambert wanted to catch her, Johan being closer, was quicker to react and pulled Ariana by the waist.
As soon as Johan caught her, he felt the fragrance from Ariana invading his sense of smell. He was slightly stunned, he noted the scent was pleasant, light, and not from any perfume.
Although it was an accident, people around them, seeing Ariana in Johan's arms, had peculiar expressions on their faces and began whispering among themselves.
Upon seeing this, Beverly hid a laugh and kept quiet.
Ariana, who originally thought she would fall, was stunned for a moment when Johan saved her. She quickly pushed back up and expressed her thanks, "Thank you. I'm glad you were here."
Johan felt the softness in his hold disappear and inexplicably felt a hint of disappointment in his heart, but he smiled and said, "You're welcome, it was just a reflex."
The coldness in Lambert's eyes did not escape as he watched Johan, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, let's go in."
Ariana hesitated a little, then smiled at Johan and said, "Let's go."
Lambert watched the two of them walk directly in, "......"
Lambert was a bit upset. Recalling the morning incident, he wondered whether Ariana was intentionally ignoring him because of it.
Beverly watched as Johan followed Ariana into the room, and whispered in admiration, "Who is this guy? He's incredibly handsome!"
Lambert raised an eyebrow slightly, "Handsome?"
She paused momentarily, then happily clung to Lambert's arm and said, "Well, not as good-looking as you!"
He chuckled somewhat helplessly and remarked, "It might be best not to use ‘Good-looking’ to describe men!"
They entered the meeting room, where nearly everyone had already arrived.
Thanks to the record-breaking achievements of Lambert last time, no one in the company had any doubts about him.
Lambert scanned the room and said solemnly, "During this period when President Stone is away on business, I will be in temporary charge of the company. The new projects will be entirely my responsibility. I hope that everyone will take this opportunity to share their suggestions and opinions."
There was immediately a great deal of discussion in the meeting room. Someone proposed, "Vice-President, the recent new project is progressing smoothly, but the tourism promotion results are not very good..."
Lambert contemplated, then said, "I've seen the report on this matter. Although it's a small city in the mountains and is a third or fourth-tier city, it does have a poor location. However, it has the benefit of a beautiful environment and is a tourist destination. It's impossible to improve the results quickly. We have to step up our promotion efforts and devote effort to the local customs. On the one hand, this can aid poverty relief; on the other, it can become a unique feature."
