Chapter 450 I Came To


    Deliver An Invitation


    "Wow, the founder is actually in the office today!"


    "That''s not the real news-the real news is that he''s willing to meet with Miss Lawson!"


    "This definitely means there''s something special between them."


    Upon hearing the receptionist''s words, Carol couldn''t suppress a satisfied smirk.


    Of course, she had known all along that the founder would want to see her.


    After all, she was from the Lawson family.


    The whispers around her only fueled her sense of pride.


    "Got it," she replied nonchntly.


    Just as she was about to turn away, something crossed her mind. She shot an annoyed nce at the receptionist.


    “If I remember correctly, you were the one who kept trying to stop me earlier, weren''t you?"


    The receptionist stiffened, her face draining of color. "Miss Lawson, I was just following orders from my


    superiors. I meant no disrespect."


    Was Miss Lawson really going to hold a grudge over that?


    The thought sent a fresh wave of panic through her, making her heartbeat quicken.


    Carol scoffed, her sharp gaze flickering with amusement. "I told you-disrespect me, and you won''t have this


    job for long."


    The anticipation of finally seeing the striking man from the banquet again filled her voice with smug satisfaction.


    "You''ll understand soon enough. I doubt you''ll even need to show up for work tomorrow."


    With that, Carol tossed her hair back, smirking as she strode toward the elevator.


    The receptionist, ovee with dread, felt her legs buckle beneath her, sinking weakly to the floor.


    A sympathetic coworker quickly rushed over to help her up. "Don''t panic. We''ll exin everything to the boss." The receptionist trembled, her voice barely above a whisper. "I''m doomed."


    A few other employees exchanged uneasy nces, sighing.


    "As expected, the founder and Miss Lawson have been in contact for a while. Their rtionship must be serious."

    "At this rate, Miss Lawson might just be his wife."


    Carol, now in high spirits after asserting her dominance, confidently made her way to the top floor.


    Meanwhile, inside the conference room, Collin was reviewing the final details for an important meeting.


    Led by an assistant, Carol stepped inside, her eyes instantly locking onto the man who had upied her thoughts for days.


    The moment she saw him again, her admiration deepened.


    Her heart fluttered slightly.


    "Mr. Riley," she greeted him with a demure smile, stepping forward gracefully.


    Collin, not bothering to look up, spoke in an even tone. "What brings you here?" Carol wasn''t discouraged by his cold demeanor.


    A sessful man like him was bound to be a little aloof-it only made sense.


    Besides, with her beauty, she was confident that once Collin spend more time with her, he would recognize her


    worth.


    Winning his heart would only be a matter of time.


    "Mr. Riley, I came to deliver an invitation." She handed him a sleek envelope. "My birthday ising up, and my family is hosting a celebration. I''d like to invite you to attend."


    Then, after a slight pause, she added in a softer, more expectant tone, "I would also love for you to be my date and share the first dance with me at my party."


    It never even crossed her mind that he might refuse.


    In her imagination, she could already see the elegant dance unfolding-Collin''s strong arms around her, their movements perfectly in sync, her cheeks glowing with warmth. The thought alone made her heart race.
