Chapter 654

Elizabeth froze, looking confused: "Which woman?"

On the other end, Simon quickly said: "Elizabeth, this is my fault. That cousin of mine is Claire. She works at a finance company. I don't know how she got to my dad, your uncle."

Elizabeth fell silent.

As soon as she heard the name Claire, Elizabeth felt annoyed.

"I don't know what she said to him, but my dad actually gave her my business card. Then she took my card and went to the Windsor Group, saying she wanted to talk about financing and venture capital."

Elizabeth said nothing.

Hearing this, she was already flying out the door like the wind.

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth!" Julia called from behind.

Elizabeth had already walked out. She turned back to look at Julia and Harper: "Help me take the afternoon off!"

With that!

She was gone.

She hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Windsor Group.

Elizabeth rarely went to Alexander's corporate group, even though she was officially Mrs. Windsor, as Alexander had announced on the Windsor Group's official Twitter.

The reason was simple - she didn't understand company matters.

Besides, she had her own profession to focus on. And the man was perfectly capable of managing his business empire alone. As a woman, she didn't want to bring any negative influence to her man.

Half an hour later, Elizabeth arrived at the Windsor Group.

Because she came so rarely, very few people at the Windsor Group knew Elizabeth.

Elizabeth walked quickly inside in her heels, but was stopped by the receptionist: "Miss, who are you looking for?"

"Alexander!"

The receptionist blocked Elizabeth more firmly: "I'm sorry, miss! Our Mr. Windsor isn't someone just anyone can see! Do you have an appointment?"

Elizabeth said to the receptionist: "Call Gavin and tell him I'm Elizabeth."

Seeing Elizabeth's determined look, the receptionist didn't dare delay. She immediately called Gavin: "Gavin, there's a Miss Elizabeth who says—"

"Let her in right away!" Gavin said immediately.

The receptionist fell silent.

After a pause, she said: "Okay, okay."

After hanging up, the receptionist said respectfully to Elizabeth: "Miss, please go in."

Elizabeth gave the receptionist a polite smile and walked in gracefully.

Just then, a female employee came out of the break room. The receptionist immediately gossiped: "Usually we never see our CEO linked with any women in the news, but today is unusual - two have come at once."

The employee immediately became interested: "Which two, which two?"

Their discussion was heard loud and clear by Elizabeth.

The receptionist continued: "About an hour ago, a very fashionable and commanding woman, clearly a cool goddess type, came to see Mr. Windsor. That woman came in with a VIP pass with the character 'Shu' on it, saying she was here to see Mr. Windsor."

"Oh my god, who is that woman? So impressive?"

"Don't know."

"What about this one?" the employee asked.

"This one doesn't have as strong a presence as the earlier one. She looks like a proper, ordinary woman, but she must be important too, because Gavin let her in right away."

"Ha!" The employee, who had been drowsy earlier, was now wide awake: "So there's going to be a show? Oh my god, the CEO never had any scandals before or after getting married, and now we're really going to see something."

"Keep your voice down. The CEO hates company gossip about him the most. Be careful or you'll get your tongue cut off," the receptionist warned.

"Oh, oh, oh, I get it. I'll just watch the show quietly. Call me if anything happens."

The receptionist nodded: "Okay!"

While the two were whispering, Elizabeth had already moved far away.

Her heels clicked on the carpet - slow, steady, and rhythmic.

Just like the gait of a powerful female executive with real authority walking through the Windsor Group.

The sound of these footsteps made Claire, sitting in Alexander's office, very pleased.

She could tell that a female employee was definitely approaching Mr. Windsor's office, and judging by the footsteps, this employee must have a high position.

Claire wanted to expose herself at just the right moment in front of such an employee.

"Mr. Windsor, you've been looking at this proposal for over an hour. You should give me a clear answer, right?" Claire sat across from Alexander, leaning forward so her deep V-neck appeared even deeper.

She hadn't been like this when she came in.

When she entered, she had been wearing a chiffon scarf around her neck. The scarf covered a large area of her skin.

As soon as she entered, Claire had said with feigned surprise and slight shyness: "Mr. Windsor, it's you?"

Alexander looked up at the woman before him and asked calmly: "You're the client Simon referred?"

Claire smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Windsor. Our company has rules - we salespeople can't leave any bad impression on clients. I saw you last time. My daughter stepped on your shoe, and I knelt down to wipe it for you. You said I was... annoying."

Alexander: "What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying, if you find me annoying, I'll turn around and leave right now, and have our company send someone else over."

"Do you think company investment matters are the same as kneeling on the street to wipe shoes?" Alexander asked Claire expressionlessly.

Claire fell silent.

She said nothing, just kept her head down, her face slightly flushed as she came in. Then she placed a stack of proposals neatly on Alexander's desk and explained them to him in great detail.

She kept talking, very professionally.

Alexander kept listening, but never said anything.

Several times Claire couldn't help asking: "Mr. Windsor, you—"

"Keep going!" Alexander said.

Claire's heart slowly bloomed with joy. She knew she had come at the right time today.

When she had finished explaining the technical details, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Claire naturally removed the chiffon scarf from her neck and casually tied it in her hair, making a bow that tilted to one side.

This way, her previously cool image immediately became playful, without seeming abrupt.

Not only that, her fair neck and what lay below were now openly displayed before Alexander.

Alexander glanced at her.

His brow furrowed slightly.

However, Claire felt very satisfied inside. She knew this was a sign of a man being moved and excited.

"Mr. Windsor, what do you think of our company's proposal?" By this point, Claire's tone had become somewhat flirtatious.

Her whole lower back was arched, leaning forward forcefully, as she asked Alexander in this unhurried manner.

Alexander said nothing. He just listened to the incredibly calm and leisurely clicking of high heels outside the office.

The clicking footsteps reached the office door within seconds.

"Mr. Windsor, should I open the door?" Claire asked thoughtfully.

She wanted to be exposed right now.

This was exactly the result Claire wanted.

Without waiting for Alexander's agreement, Claire was about to get up to open the door. However, the door opened at that moment.

Those clicking heels quickly came up to Claire and grabbed her hair tied with the chiffon scarf: "Woman! You've got some nerve!"
