Chapter 1262 Meeting the Ross Family Again

Scarlett had just arrived at Imbe Group Energy when she overheard a group of men engrossed in a

conversation inside the elevator lobby.

"This collaboration with the Ross family seems pretty substantial. I wonder what Mr. Crawford is

thinking, showing such intense affection for his wife. If this gesture makes the other party

uncomfortable and we lose this deal, it would be such a shame."

"Mrs. Crawford has some serious tricks up her sleeve. When she was relatively unknown, she used her

looks to captivate Mr. Crawford for five years. Later, he was so mesmerized by her that he turned down

Miss Ross."

"Have any of you guys seen her?"

"I haven't met her in person, but I've seen her on TV. She's undeniably gorgeous and has a fantastic

figure!"

"So, think about it. Why do you think she was able to bewitch Mr. Crawford like that?"

By then, the men exchanged knowing glances, and their expressions turned lewd.

Scarlett gave them a disgusted look, raising her eyebrows in disdain.

Their attention then shifted to her.

"Hey, you're new here, right?" The creepiest guy approached Scarlett with a lewd smirk. "Which floor

are you working on?"

Tall and well-built due to regular exercise, Scarlett's presence drew attention despite her professional

office attire.

"The top floor," she replied, staring at him.

"The top floor? Isn't that... the president's office?" The man was taken aback.

Keeping a straight face, Scarlett shoved her name tag in front of him. "I'm the president's assistant."

The men's sleazy expressions instantly vanished, replaced by fear.

"We... we're sorry. Just now..."

"Do you know what sets you guys apart from Mr. Crawford?" Scarlett asked in an icy as she tucked her

name tag away.

Without waiting for their response, she continued, "He is a rational being, whereas you guys..."

Her scornful gaze traveled down their crotches. The elevator arrived just in time, and she stepped

inside, ignoring them.

The men stood there, looking embarrassed.

Upon seeing that they weren't entering, Scarlett ignored them, pressing the top floor button.

The guys who were just brimming with excitement looked deflated.

"Such bad luck! Who could have imagined running into that person's assistant!"

"Even so, that girl has such a nice figure... I wonder if she has a boyfriend..."

"Probably not. She was glancing at me just now. Could she be interested in me?"

Somehow, they had bounced back to life, continuing their lewd gossip in hushed tones.

Shortly after Scarlett arrived, Athena came too.

The team in charge of negotiations with the Ross family also gathered in the conference room.

Athena noticed everyone's concerns but didn't say anything.

Instead, she went through the meeting's agenda.

When it was nearly time, the group left Imbe Group Energy and headed to Imbe Group.

By then, the representatives of the Ross family, who were initially scheduled to arrive an hour later, had

arrived early.

A blonde woman with blue eyes walked into Byron's office with an elegant smile.

"Mr. Crawford, it's been a long time since we last met." The woman spoke the foreign language fluently.

"Annie, it has been a while," Byron replied, shaking her hand politely.

The woman, Annie Ross, playfully tilted her head and said, "Do men from Mailand never age? I feel

like you look even younger than you did six years ago."

"Is that so?" Byron smiled. "Maybe spending time with kids kept me youthful."

Annie chuckled. "I haven't congratulated you yet."

All the representatives of the Ross family maintained careful composure.

As everyone knew, Annie had played a role in arranging the marriage between Heather and Byron.
