She leaned toward the window, her gaze fixed on the terminal building below. She imagined Julius in a furious frenzy. Veins popping, he looked like he could kill someone… A faint smile crossed her face, one filled with delight, then she gradually began to lose herself in thought…
Once the plane was flying smoothly, the flight attendant served them a lavish breakfast,
Jemima didn’t have much of an appetite, so she only ate a little.
After that, she found herself staring blankly at the clouds outside.
“Jemima, if you’re going to keep acting so indecisive, I don’t think you should bother with joining the company.”
A cool, aloof voice echoed from across the corridor, causing Jemima to snap back to reality.
She turned her head to look diagonally across, meeting Scott’s eyes. Her face instantly flushed red.
His sharp gaze seemed to pierce her drifting mind, dragging her back to reality. She felt utterly pressured and had nowhere to hide
“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again,” she said, lowering her head.
“Hopefully, Scott casually commented, then withdrew his gaze.
Jemima found herself in an extremely awkward situation.
Across from her, Zander was also feeling somewhat uncomfortable. He didn’t understand why Scott was so upset. After all, Jemima was just a little distracted, which didn’t seem to be a big deal.
After all, she had just gone through a life–altering event, so it was unreasonable for her not to be affected by it.
Shortly after, the flight attendant came in to clear away the breakfast dishes and bring in some coffee.
Scott only took about a ten–minute break before he started the video conference.
Throughout the five–hour flight, he was either in a meeting, making phone calls, or reviewing documents.
Zander had to constantly send emails, reporting urgent matters that required Scout’s decision. Thereafter, a new round of phone calls and video conferences began…
The level of busyness was no less than that at the office.
When Jemima saw that Zander had a break, she softly requirements for this business trip.
e him to the back, asking him to elaborate on the work
She needed to grasp things quickly to keep up with Scott’s pace.
Zander subsequently sent her the work schedule for the upcoming days.
The destination for this business trip was Solvenzia.
The main purpose was to inspect the branch office there. In addition to that, there were also meetings with the local government and key business partners arranged.
This is the first stop,” Zander said in a bushed tone. “Over the next six months, we’ll gradually visit the branch offices all over the world.”
“Gol
Got it.”
Jemima nodded in understanding
Scott had just returned to the country and assumed the position of the group’s CEO. Thus, he needed to establish his authority first.
Even if he were the heir, there would still be those who questioned his leadership. He had to achieve results, establish authority, and eliminate corruption. With every change in boss, there would always be a shift in lovalties. Not everyone’s

“Is there a specific reason for choosing Solvenzia as the first stop?” she asked quietly, purely out of curiosity.
She had spent time studying Zenith Group.

This was a quintessential family–run business, with capital accumulated over dozens of generations. It first established its wealth through giving out loans and eventually evolved into a private bank. In the nineties, it ventured into the real estate sector and later expanded into renewable energy, entertainment, and e–commerce, Just in the public market alone, they had six companies listed.
The Solvenzian branch office belonged to the renewable energy company. Compared to the other overseas branches, it wasn’t the largest or most glorious
I don’t quite understand why Scott, no, Mr. Sterling, made this his first stop.
Zander hesitated for a moment before saying, “Uh, well, there’s nothing special about it. It’s just nearby.”
Jemima was at a loss for words.
What kind of lame joke is that? This man owns a Gulfstream G650 and can fly anywhere he wants, except for the moon!
After Zander and Jemima worked together over the next few days, he quietly grumbled to her, “Back when I was at Azania branch office, I could handle everything on my own. Now that I’m back at the head office, I’m so busy it feels like I need to split myself in two. Mr. Sterling is quite picky, causing even Mr. Callen to juggle the roles of both a butler and a secretary. Now that you’re here, both Mr. Callen and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”
Jemima laughed, a faint dimple appearing by her mouth.
Zander was in close proximity to her and was struck by her beauty. He finally understood what others meant when they said someone was a classical beauty. When Jemima wore none, she had an ethereal charm, and when she was heavily made up, she was bewitchingly captivating.
Zander, go ask Mia for some popcorn.”
Behind them, the nonchalant voice of Scott echoed out. He was standing with one arm folded across his chest, a document in his other hand. Behind his glasses, his deep eyes held a hint of indifference.
Mia was his private jet’s exclusive flight attendant.
Zander rose, puzzled. “You want some popcorn?”
He has never asked for them before.
Scott put down the files he was holding, his eyelashes lowered as he leaned back in his chair. “Seems like your discussion is getting intense. Getting some popcorn would be quite fitting for this scenario.”
Zander and Jemima were both left speechless.
Mr. Sterling sure has a subtle way of scolding us.
It was two in the afternoon when the plane landed at Cheville Airport.
