She glanced back at Ellsworth, seeing him with his eyes closedÂ
and his chin resting on her shoulder. Harriet grabbed his wrists,Â
trying to remove his hands from her waist, but EllsworthÂ
suddenly said in a low voice, “Harriet, these past few years haveÂ
been exhausting for me too.”Â
At Ellsworth’s words, Harriet’s attempt to remove his handsÂ
stopped.Â
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.Â
Harriet didn’t remove his hands, so Ellsworth kissed her cheek.Â
When he tried to kiss her lips, Harriet turned her face away, andÂ
his kiss landed on the side of her neck.Â
He wasn’t angry at her avoidance, but instead bit her neck hard,Â
twice.Â
Harriet gasped and raised her hand to cover her neck.Â
Later, seeing that Ellsworth still wouldn’t let go, Harriet finallyÂ
pushed him away, reminding him to take a shower and getÂ
some rest.Â
BUÂ
Ellsworth did as she said,Â
He was as obedient as if they were saying goodbye.Â
***Â
The next day.Â
When they woke up, both got ready for work as usual. Harriet remained calm and composed, even though Ellsworth had leftÂ
several kiss marks on her neck.Â
Ellsworth, too, had returned to his usual cool demeanor.Â
It was as if the man who had hugged Harriet and confessed hisÂ
exhaustion the night before wasn’t him at all.Â
At ten in the morning, after finishing a meeting with Jonas andÂ
the others, Harriet had just returned to her office when a large group of people came bustling in from the main office area.Â
Harriet looked up and saw that it was people from theÂ
Townsend Group, led in by Grayson.Â
Surrounded by the crowd, Ellsworth always stood out, full ofÂ
confidence and poise.Â
Beside him, Kelsey wore a red dress, her face beaming with aÂ
radiant smile as she accompanied him.Â
Looking at them from afar, they seemed like a perfect match.Â
Kelsey looked even more like Mrs. Townsend.Â
Ever since Kelsey returned to the country, it seemed that Ellsworth would bring her along to every occasion.Â
Watching the crowd through the glass, Harriet knew EllsworthÂ
was here today to sign a contract. Kelsey had voluntarily stepped aside, making way for his cooperation with GalaxyÂ
Innovations.Â
Of course, the compensation he gave Kelsey was also veryÂ
generous.Â
Even though Rushtar Group wasn’t really qualified to work withÂ
Galaxy Innovations.Â
Watching Grayson make his way upstairs through the crowd,Â
and seeing Kelsey enthusiastically walking beside Ellsworth, Harriet calmly withdrew her gaze, picked up the meetingÂ
materials from earlier, and continued working.Â
In the upstairs conference room, once Ellsworth and ReginaldÂ
had finalized the terms of cooperation and the agreement, bothÂ
Chapter134Â
parties proceeded to the press conference for the signingÂ
ceremony.Â
Not many people from Galaxy Innovations attended; besidesÂ
bringing Grayson, Reginald was accompanied by two otherÂ
shareholders.Â
Shareholders who were rather mysterious.Â
They never participated in or interfered with the company’sÂ
business; all matters, big or small, were handled solely byÂ
Reginald.Â
At the signing ceremony, the two shareholders did not appear inÂ
person; they only reported the situation to the higher–ups onÂ
behalf of Galaxy Innovations.Â
Seeing Kelsey always at Ellsworth’s side, radiant withÂ
happiness, a reporter couldn’t help but ask her a question.Â
“Ms. Graham, we’ve heard that Rushtar Group was originallyÂ
involved in the Galaxy Innovations optoelectronics project. WhyÂ
did they withdraw later?”Â
“Ms. Graham, I’ve heard about this as well. Could you explain itÂ
to us, Ms. Graham?”Â
Faced with the reporters‘ questions, Kelsey remainedÂ
composed, as if she had already prepared herself for such inquiries.Â
Unhurried and smiling at the reporter who asked, Kelsey replied, “Rushtar Group’s main focus recently has been on theÂ
acquisition of Voyage Group.”Â
“Of course, automation and intelligent technology will be the mainstream of future development and are undeniably the main driving force for social progress.”Â
“That’s why Rushtar Group has been investing in and paying close attention to automation and intelligent technology in recent years. Personally, with the help of Ellsworth, president of the Townsend Group, I have also found professional mentors for further study.”Â
“Rushtar Group has also invested in several other informationÂ
technology projects. This time, I accompanied Mr. Townsend toÂ
sign the cooperation agreement with Galaxy Innovations toÂ
learn from better and bigger enterprises. I believe our company will have opportunities to cooperate with Galaxy Innovations inÂ
the future as well.”Â
Kelsey was poised and impeccable, leaving no room for error.Â
