"Miss Qin, I have no choice. There's a person inside the hotel who has been waiting for you. He told
me to drive you here. Please go inside and meet him. When you're done, I will drive you to the place
you want to go,"
The driver relayed to her while looking at her through the rear view mirror. He had a bashful smile on
his face. Clearly, he knew that what he was doing wasn't right.
"What the hell? Why are you doing this? You are a taxi driver, and I am your client. How could you ask
me to get off halfway? Besides, how could you sell me out like this? It's ridiculous! I won't go!"
Cassandra bellowed in a furious tone. Of course, she didn't want to go inside the hotel to see some
mysterious man. She didn't know who wanted to see her for God's sake! It was pretty dangerous and
precarious, and she wasn't willing to take the risk.
"Miss Qin, please, just listen to me. Please don't make it hard for me. I was left with no other choice. I
can't get cross with any one of them. But I promise that you will be safe going in. I swear with my
honesty! I will be waiting for you here. And if you don't come out in two hours, I will call the police for
you,"
The driver said in a careful yet persuasive tone while smiling awkwardly at Cassandra. He just hoped
that he could get this task done as soon as possible.
"Your honesty? Do you have any honesty at all? You just sold me out for God's sake!"
Cassandra didn't know what to say anymore. She felt so angry with the driver right now. She wasn't
expecting such weird incident would happen to her.
While arguing with the driver, a man walked to stand beside the car and stooped down to talk to her,
"Miss Qin, we are sorry to make you come here this way. My boss is a professional investor. He just
wants to talk to you about his plans of investing with the Qin Group. I am sure that you will be
interested in his offer."
Hearing his words, Cassandra looked at him for a moment, then shifted her gaze to another man just
behind him. The man behind looked calm and sure of himself. His hair had gone grey, and he was quite
tall for his age. Cassandra assumed he was the boss, and the other man affirmed his assumption by
nodding his head in response to her inquisitive gaze.
The man who just talked to her seemed to be a very respectful man. To be honest, he even seemed to
be afraid of his boss. The middle-aged man, who was the boss, indeed seemed very overpowering and
so intimidating. He had his hands behind his back and stood there without a word. His behavior was
enough for Cassandra to tell that he was influential.
'So he is an investor?' Cassandra couldn't help but doubt for a few seconds. Thinking silently for a
short moment, she opened the car door and got off the car.
"We can talk here. Or you can come to my office tomorrow to talk. I have other things to do, so I don't
have time to chat inside the hotel,"
Cassandra said politely to them. She walked out and said these words only to show her politeness and
respect for this said boss. If he really wanted to invest with her company, he should have done it
professionally. To be honest, Cassandra hadn't thought about this and was willing to ignore whatever
he would offer.
"Miss Qin, I believe that you will need this investment. Let's go inside and have a good talk,"
The man was also polite to Cassandra. But still, she refused to concede.
"If you really want to invest with my company, come to my office. I really have things to do right now.
Excuse me."
After saying these words, Cassandra got in the taxi again and asked the driver to start the car. The
driver looked between Cassandra and the two men outside the car with an embarrassed look on his
face. He didn't know whom he should listen to.
At this time, the middle-aged man slightly nodded his head to the driver. The driver finally let out a sigh
of relief and started the car.
"Who was that man?"
Cassandra asked the driver in a curious tone after they drove away from that hotel. She was confused
with the man's identity.
"I have no idea, Miss Qin. Please don't ask me,"
The driver answered in a shaky tone. Obviously, he was afraid. Cassandra thought for a moment and
didn't ask any more questions. Well, if they really wanted to invest, then they would surely come and
find her again. It was just that there must be something that they wanted from her, and she had no idea
what it was. Anyway, she should be vigilant.
Weighing things out, Cassandra believed that the Qin Group was heading a good way. She had no
intentions to draw any investments right now. Cassandra just wanted to do well in what they were doing
and keep her company steady.
As for what the mysterious man wanted from her, she had just dismissed the idea for she didn't have
the time or energy to think about it anymore.
The taxi drove downtown. Passing by the most crowded area of the city, a big billboard with Amanda's
face on it shone brightly, complicating Cassandra's feelings even more.
Cassandra rolled up the car window and withdrew her gaze from the streets. She didn't want to keep
looking at that face anymore. Instead, she stared at the traffic ahead of her in G City, letting herself be
immersed in the liveliness.
"What is going on?"
As soon as Rufus arrived at the TY Group HQ, he walked straight into Jasper's office.
Straightforwardly, without greeting, he just asked about the situation.
"Here, take a look at all these projects,"
