“Well, you are the one who signed the cooperation with the LS Group. It is your responsibility to make them come to the banquet. Invite that mysterious new president.”

“But I haven’t seen him, Grandma. It’s Vanessa Smith whom I met.”

“Invite that Vanessa Smith then and tell her to come with their new president.”

Victoria was about to say something when her grandmother ended the call. She let out a sigh of disbelief. How could she tell them to come to the banquet when she did not have the authority to do so? It was just one signed cooperation. She was not even acquainted with Vanessa Smith.

“Yes?” She turned to face the housemaid.

“Your husband said if you are done with the phone call, please come outside and join us. The food has been served.”

“Oh… yeah.” She put the receiver back to its base and headed outside the farmhouse.

“What did the old Mrs. Griffith say to you?” her husband asked when they occupied one of the tables.

“Well, she told me she will be hosting a banquet to brag about the cooperation with the LS Group.” She shook her head. “My grandmother… she always brags about everything.”
