Chapter 726
That afternoon, Shirley busied herself in her office for a while before calling Garrick.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
After three rings, he finally picked up the phone. "Miss Wilson?"
"Haha. Yes, it's me, President Brennan."
She laughed sheepishly as she greeted him and went straight to the point. "I called to see when you'd
be available so I could bring you to our office to look around."
They were in the middle of planning when Garrick talked about touring the company, but they did not
expect Skyler to suddenly appear and disrupt the discussion.
"How about ten days later?"
After saying that, Garrick explained, "There's a lot going on with the company lately, so I can only do
ten days later."
"Sure. I'll arrange everything according to your time."
"Good. It's settled, then."
"Alright. Please continue on with your work, President Brennan," Shirley said humbly before hanging

Standing in her office, she clutched her phone in her hand and started pacing around the office while
thinking of a plan.
Although Garrick had agreed to come over for a visit, it did not mean their partnership was confirmed in
any way. So, she still had to contact Talila Gibson from Horizon Group just in case.
After giving it some thought, she picked up her phone and called Wade. However, before she could
make the call, she received one from Skyler.
While looking at his number popping up on her phone screen, she answered the call as her fair face
showed frustration.
"Young Master Skyler?" she addressed him in an unfamiliar way and her tone was filled with alienation.
On the other end of the call, Skyler felt bothered when he heard her address him that way. "What?
Don't I have a name?"
"You're the young master of the Robins Family. It is not my place to call you by your name."
She then continued to speak in an unfriendly tone, "Whatever you called to say, just say it. I'm very
busy."
There were still company matters she needed to deal with, and since Jayden and Shawn did not give
her much time, she had to use up every spare second she could.
"Are you at the company? I wanna go over there for a visit now," he asked directly without beating
around the bush.
"I'm... not," she rejected him without thinking about it.
No matter which situation it was, she did not need his company to invest in hers.
On one hand, she was afraid he might find out that the real boss behind this company was Veronica.
On the other hand, she was even more afraid of owing him a favor.
If Sofia found out about this, she would come to the company and humiliate her again.
The events that happened in front of First Meeting's entrance were like a nightmare to her and she still
felt chills whenever she thought about it.
"Alright, then. Call me after you get back to the company." Without asking any more questions, Skyler
hung up.
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Shirley set down her phone and decided to call Wade later to ask about
Talila's current situation.

After a passionate night with Matthew, Veronica was feeling delighted.
The following day, Mateo came over and told her to head downstairs for breakfast, so she obediently
went downstairs.
"Roni, I have something to tell you. We found a great chef today and he'll be in charge of our breakfast
from today onward," Mateo told her while they were descending the stairs.
"A chef from the hidden clan?"
Although dishes from the hidden clan were similar to those from Castrón, there were still some
differences.
The locals here enjoyed their spices a lot while most of the dishes were not shy with them either,
especially local delicacies like scorpions, centipedes, and larvae. Such dishes were always seen on the
dining table.
When Veronica saw those dishes, she almost puked out last night's dinner. She never thought of
herself as a dramatic person, but those dishes gave her goosebumps.
"No. They recently found a chef and brought him here from Castrón. I think he's from Bloomstead too."
