Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Handsome Man and Beautiful Woman?
"What’s wrong, Nora?" the student worker looked over upon hearing Nora mumbling.
"It’s nothing. Lily’s not here today, so the workload’s on us. Thank you for your hard work," Nora said with a smile and shook her head, then she and the student worker began to get busy.
There were quite a lot of flower orders, and it took a good while to get everything done.
After loading the flowers onto the small truck, the two of them hurried towards Oceanic Inc.
"Nora, do you think they ordered this many flowers and might not pay us?"
The last incident was still fresh, making not only Fernanda wary but also leaving Nora unsure.
But surely not everyone is like that: "It’s fine, they probably won’t. Such a big company is unlikely to skip on a bill."
Who knows if she was comforting herself or Fernanda.
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. She thought it was a customer unable to wait, but when she looked at the screen, her eyes widened instantaneously.
Her fair hand nervously rubbed at her eyes.
Her reaction amused Fernanda.
"What’s up, Nora? Did you just hit the jackpot?"
"Pretty much." Nora replied blankly, hardly believing it as she pinched herself: "All the withheld payments from The Sinclair Group have been refunded."
Along with that, there was an apology statement.
To say she wasn’t surprised would be a lie. She originally thought she’d just have to take that loss, but who would have thought something this good would happen!
She couldn’t wait to share this good news with Mr. Sinclair.
A little while later, Mr. Sinclair sent a message saying he knew about it.
"You knew?" Nora was taken aback.
"When I went to The Sinclair Group to discuss collaboration, I happened to mention this issue, perhaps President Sinclair is a kind person and decided to investigate it," Jasper lied without missing a beat, holding his phone.
With a light cough, he thought he didn’t really say anything wrong.
"Then I must properly thank Mr. Sinclair," Nora’s heart warmed, never expecting anything like this behind the scenes.
She suddenly felt that although Mr. Sinclair seemed aloof, he wasn’t as cold as he appeared.
Humming a little tune, she walked towards the clients, and Fernanda beside her could feel her joy.
When they arrived at Oceanic Inc., just as they finished getting out of the car and preparing to move the flowers, quite a few company security guards came over to help.
"It’s okay, we can manage on our own." For a moment, she didn’t know how to react, feeling somewhat embarrassed as they were the ones being paid; how could she trouble others?
But the security guards were nonchalant: "It’s no problem, just a small effort."
Though there were a lot of flowers, with their help, everything was moved quickly.
Nora had Fernanda buy them a few bottles of water, and she hurried to find the person in charge for an inspection.
She didn’t expect to run into a familiar face: "Uncle Aaron?"
"Nora? What are you doing here? Don’t tell me the flowers for our company’s event are from you?"
Aaron’s eyes were full of surprise, as if it was all just a coincidence.
But the assistant nearby knew it was no coincidence; the flower shop was the CEO’s specified choice.
However, he wisely kept quiet about it.
"Exactly, who would’ve thought such a big order would come from your company, Aaron? If I’d known, I would have sent more flowers," Nora smiled. "Coincidentally, Uncle Aaron, take a look at how the venue is set up."
Their relationship eased up a lot just like that, and she was no longer as reserved as before.
The two walked through the venue, their presence turning heads as a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
The company staff hadn’t seen the woman beside President Lowell before, so they gathered in gossip.
"So, any changes needed?" Her eyes curved in a smile, making Aaron’s heart skip a beat.
