To the Love of My Life-Chapter 901 - The One He Loves is Back (Part 15)_1
Chapter 901: Chapter 901 The One He Loves is Back (Part 15)_1
Madeleine returned from Oceania, adjusted for about a week, and officially went back to work at Pristine’s Enterprises. She was still in charge of the clients she managed before going to Oceania.
Her departure for Oceania had been so hurried that there was simply no time to hand over her work at Pristine’s. It wasn’t until she arrived at the company and heard the report from her secretary that she realized the clients she had been responsible for over the past three years had all been looked after by Howard Coleman.
On Monday afternoon, Steve Burton, Edward Woods, Russell Henris, Howard Coleman, and Madeleine held a brief high-level meeting. At the end of the meeting, Steve opened his mouth and said, “Mr. Taylor from Costo Group has come over from Poham. This was a client originally managed by Madeleine, but Howard has been taking care of it for the past few years. What do you think… who should host him tonight?”
Russell Henris pondered for a moment and said, “How about we let Howard take care of it? Madeleine just returned to the country, and there are many things she is not familiar with. Suddenly taking over, I’m afraid that many details might not be handled properly.”
After a pause, Russell looked towards Howard Coleman. “Howard, what do you think?”
Howard Coleman nodded without hesitation.
Steve didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate and was about to agree to the decision, when Madeleine, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke up, “Never mind, this was my job originally. I’ll go myself.”
Steve swallowed the words he was about to say and looked towards Howard Coleman.
Howard Coleman knew that Steve’s look was asking for his opinion. Mr. Taylor from Costo Group was known to be a heavy drinker, and every meeting would surely end in excessive drinking…
Howard Coleman swallowed hard and found a reasonable justification, “How about I go with Madele…”
Howard Coleman had intended to say “Madeleine,” but after uttering just the syllable “Madele,” he swallowed the rest and continued, “with Madeleine. She will have to take over this client sooner or later. There are many details she may not understand fully. If I go with her, I can lend a hand. Once she has a complete understanding of everything, it won’t be too late to hand over full responsibilities to her.”
The suggestion seemed reasonable, but… Steve thought about Howard and Madeleine’s tumultuous past, and turned his head to ask for Madeleine’s opinion, but then he remembered Ruby Gregory leaning on him the night before, her face full of distress as she said that Madeleine seemed to still have feelings for Howard…
Although Steve knew that matters of the heart couldn’t be forced, it seemed that for the past few years, Howard also hadn’t been much involved with women.
Steve was not one to meddle, but he thought that perhaps increased contact between Madeleine and Howard might create some favorable situations. Thus, he swallowed the words he was about to say to consult Madeleine and decisively made the decision, saying, “Madeleine, let’s do as Howard suggests. You’ll entertain your clients with Howard’s assistance at first. Once you’re familiar with everything, it won’t be too late to take full charge.”
