Elisa soon got a reply, "Don't worry, Little Soybean, Sharon's acting skill is poor and not qualified to enter my crew."

Quite satisfied, Elisa sent out another message, "Thank you, Simon. I'll visit you sometime."

"Good, I haven't seen you for years. I'm looking forward to it."

Elisa replied to the message and then put away her phone.

After Elisa finished her work, Joan was worried that she took the incident to heart and comforted her with concern, "Eli, don't take their words to heart, you're not stupid at all. You're very smart."

"Mm." Elisa responded. In fact, she was indifferent to the behavior of Holly and Sharon just now. She looked at Joan and continued, "Let's go, have some milk tea, and buy handbags later."

"Mm." The two continued their way to the milk tea store.

...

As a new day came, in the CEO's Office of Jimenes Group, Chris finished his daily report and then reminded his boss, "Sir, Mr. Cruz is expecting you to attend his dinner party tonight."

"Mm." Martin agreed. Mr. Cruz was a business partner, so he should attend it.

"Have you found out the woman the other night?" Martin changed the subject.

"Not yet." Chris felt anxious.

Martin pulled a long face and intended to blame him. On second thought, he knew it would not change the result. After seconds of contemplation, he instructed coldly, "Go on digging."

"Yes, sir." Chris replied hurriedly.

After reaching the office, Elisa reviewed a few documents and got ready for a coffee break when Steve's call came in.

"Elisa, I just got the news that several projects of Gorilla Group are in crisis. We can seize the opportunity and acquire it." Said Steve from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, let's seize the opportunity." Elisa said excitedly.

"Mm, but we need to talk about the details of the acquisition."

"Sure, how about we meet in the afternoon after work and talk about it?" Elisa voiced her opinion.

"Cool, we can have dinner together."

"Mm, name the time and location, I'll be there on time," Elisa said.

"Cool."

...

In the afternoon, Martin returned to the office after attending two meetings. During the break, he checked his cell phone on mute and saw two missed calls from Victor.

Unsure of his business, Martin called him back.

"Martin." The other party answered the call.

"Mm." Martin responded and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mm, I'm at the club right now and saw Sharon. I wonder if you asked her out to play golf today." Victor said.

After the news sank in, Martin looked a bit surprised and then answered, "No."

He hadn't seen Sharon in the past few days. She called him last night and only chatted for a short while.

... From the other end, Victor was surprised for seconds and then came to his senses, "Oh, that's my guess. I thought you were dating Sharon and wanted to join you."

Since Sharon was Martin's sweetheart, he naturally associated them.

"Probably, Sharon is hanging out with her friend today." Added Victor.

"Mm." Martin responded. In fact, he was not quite clear about Sharon's personal matters. Since Victor saw her, it might be so.

Without further chitchat with Victor, Martin hung up the phone.

He put away his phone, had a cup of coffee, recalled what Victor just said, thought about Sharon, and suddenly smell a rat.

Martin contemplated for a while, got a plan, and called in Chris through an internal call, "Have someone investigate Sharon. When did she come back to South City? And..."

"Where was she two years ago after running away from marriage? What was the reason?" Instructed Martin.

He had never asked Sharon about these and thus didn't know the answer.
