Reborn Rich: Prices Dropped, My Savings Didn't novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Chapter 205: What’s the Situation?

On the other end of the line, Jasmine Sterling hadn’t expected him to answer so quickly. She was caught off guard for a moment when she suddenly heard his voice.

Then she hurriedly said, "Hello, Mr. Jennings. I-I’m Jasmine Sterling from Veridia. Do you remember me?"

"Ms. Sterling, it really is you! Of course I remember. You were the first person I thought of when I saw the caller ID."

Randall Jennings unconsciously sat up straighter as he spoke, clearly surprised that Jasmine Sterling was calling him. "Ms. Sterling, is there something I can help you with?"

Nearby, Lillian Hughes was clearing away the lunch dishes and subconsciously picked up on a key part of Randall Jennings’s conversation.

’Ms. Sterling?’

’A woman!’

She perked up her ears, watching Randall Jennings’s expression from the corner of her eye.

Jasmine Sterling didn’t beat around the bush. "Mr. Jennings, I’m so sorry to disturb you, but I’m actually in the first-floor lobby of your group’s building right now. I know this is a bit forward, but I just happened to be making God Jumps Over the Wall for my daughter and thought of you. I brought some over to thank you for helping my daughter."

Jasmine Sterling spoke cautiously, but her words were remarkably earnest. She had come specifically to express her gratitude on her daughter’s behalf.

Hearing that Jasmine Sterling was already at Jennings Tower, Randall Jennings shot up from his chair. "You’re here? At the tower? Please wait a moment, I’ll send someone down to get you."

He hung up and called out loudly, "Lawson!"

A moment later, Secretary Lawson pushed the door open. "Yes, Chairman?"

"Go down to the first floor and get someone, quickly. Ms. Sterling is here."

Lawson looked completely baffled. "M-Ms. Sterling?"

’I have the whole day’s schedule memorized, and there’s no Ms. Sterling on it!’

Seeing Lawson’s confusion, Randall Jennings waved a hand. "Never mind, I’ll go down myself."

’Even though Lawson was the one who looked into Ms. Sterling’s background, he’s never actually met her. It’d be better if I went down myself.’

Just then, Lillian Hughes approached, her curiosity piqued. "Randall, is this person very important? So important you have to go get them yourself?"

’I heard him clearly. Even though it’s a woman, Randall was using a formal title. That must mean she’s important, but they aren’t close.’

’Probably an important business partner or someone like that.’

Randall Jennings nodded and looked at Lillian Hughes. "I have an important guest. Perhaps you should head home for now."

Lillian Hughes’s expression froze. With Secretary Lawson standing right there, she felt her face flush with embarrassment. She put on a show of playful annoyance. "I came to have lunch with you, and you’re trying to shoo me away before we’ve even finished? Who is this guest that’s so important I’m not allowed to meet them?"

But such feminine wiles had little effect on Randall Jennings. He was the epitome of a perfect gentleman, which was why he had always led a scrupulous life. The countless women who had desperately tried to win him over had all left empty-handed.

Not that he was particularly bothered by her antics, though.

Seeing that Lillian Hughes didn’t want to leave, he didn’t press the issue. "Then just wait here."

With that, he strode quickly out of the office. Secretary Lawson was about to follow when Lillian Hughes grabbed his arm. "Secretary Lawson, who is this Ms. Sterling?"

Secretary Lawson genuinely couldn’t place her. The incident with Veridia didn’t even cross his mind.

So, he just shook his head, completely stumped. "I honestly have no idea."

Lillian Hughes’s expression turned suspicious. ’Someone even Secretary Lawson doesn’t recognize? That’s very strange indeed.’
