Loreen had made arrangements with Doris Young from Emgrand Group to begin her work tomorrow. After her time at Heaven Springs, Charlie took her back to her hotel before departing himself. Still reeling from the events at the restaurant earlier, Loreen found herself contemplating her future. She had a significant mission for her trip to Aurous Hill this time. While it was clear she was there for her new role at Emgrand Group, she had a much deeper, secretive purpose tied to her family. Her father had informed her that, according to confidential intelligence, the Wade family—the most influential family in Eastcliff—had finally found their long-lost young master. They had even acquired the entire Emgrand Group as a gift for him to hone his entrepreneurial skills. This meant that the young master of the Wade family was currently in Aurous Hill, serving as the new chairman of Emgrand Group.

In Eastcliff, a city known for its powerful and enigmatic families, the Thomas family held a prominent position, yet they were still ranked lower than the Wade family, who enjoyed greater influence and respect. With the true identity of the Wade family’s young master still under wraps, the Thomas family hoped Loreen could seize the chance to connect with him early on. Ideally, they envisioned her forming a relationship that could lead to marriage. Although Loreen felt uneasy about this arrangement, she understood the weight of her responsibility to uplift her family’s status.

The primary reason for her presence in Aurous Hill and her role at Emgrand Group was to get close to the enigmatic chairman and find a way to capture his attention. As one of Eastcliff’s beauty icons, Loreen was confident that her looks, intelligence, skills, and graceful demeanor would make her stand out to the young master of the Wade family. If she could marry him, it would elevate the Thomas family to the pinnacle of the social hierarchy in Eastcliff! The prospect of tomorrow’s meeting filled her with excitement, but she was equally curious about the mysterious Mr. Wade. She couldn’t help but wonder: How old was he? What did he look like? Was he tall and handsome like a prince?

Feeling the urge to find distractions, she took out her phone and opened a video streaming app. She selected a widely popular video from her collection that had garnered millions of views—the one where Charlie embarrassed the sales manager at Emerald Court with piles of cash. Loreen had scrutinized this video numerous times. The incident, which occurred in Aurous Hill, coincided with the time the young master of the Wade family had been located. As a result, she theorized that the wealthy figure in the video must be the young master of the Wade family, now the chairman of Emgrand Group. As she watched closely, studying the man whose back was the only visible part, she estimated that he appeared to be in his twenties, tall and lean, even if his face remained hidden. His athletic build was reminiscent of popular K-pop idols, suggesting he must be quite attractive!

However, a strange thought suddenly crossed Loreen’s mind. Why did the man vaguely resemble Charlie? Quickly dismissing the notion, she shook her head. Charlie was the son-in-law of the Wilson family, a stark contrast to the elite standing of the Wade family. If he truly was the young master, why would he still be associated with the second-tier Wilson family? Surely, she was just overthinking it!

The following morning, Loreen arrived at the Emgrand Group headquarters bright and early. Miss Young, the vice-chairman, personally greeted her and handed over her appointment letter. She guided Loreen through a brief tour of the administrative department, outlining her job responsibilities. “Loreen, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly or visit my office,” she added.

Gratefully, Loreen nodded and cautiously inquired, “Miss Young, will I have the opportunity to meet the chairman? Since I’ll be overseeing the company’s administrative affairs, I believe it’s crucial to consult him directly to ensure I meet his expectations correctly.”
