?<strong>Chapter 1084:</strong>


    Susan looked at Dane and smiled. “We’ve already discussed it. Just let the chief secretary know.”


    At Johns Group, Madisyn was busy signing documents when Dane’s secretary called.


    “Miss Johns, Mr. Johns just informed us that he won’t be able toe to the office today.


    There’s an important meeting with the Klein Group and Faraway Group that requires in-person attendance. Are you avable to handle it?”


    Madisyn raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Dane, the ultimate workaholic, had something so urgent that it kept him away from work? It had to be serious.


    She told the secretary, “Send me the meeting time and project details.”


    The secretary sounded relieved. “I’ll bring them over right away.”


    By 3 PM, Madisyn and Dane’s secretary arrived at an upscale club for the three-group meeting.


    When Madisyn entered the private room, the representatives from the other two groups were already seated.


    Though typicallyposed, she froze for a moment at the sight of a familiar face. Andrew hade personally for the coboration. Had she note, would the three representatives have been at a standstill? Madisyn reminded herself she was representing Dane and the Johns Group, firmly aligning with their position.


    Calmly taking her seat, Madisyn concealed her emotions, determined not to yield during the negotiations.


    The three groups’ representatives sat in a triangr formation. Since the moment Madisyn walked in, Andrew’s gaze had locked onto her, but she didn’t spare him a nce.


    Andrew gently ran his fingers along the rim of his cup, listening intently to Madisyn’s skilled negotiation. His fingers tapped rhythmically, as he wondered if she was intentionally ignoring him.


    Andrew’s secretary, seated beside him, looked tense. In the business world, it was standard for the Johns Group and Faraway Group to sh fiercely, so why was Andrew holding back now?


    After losing thetest round of negotiations, the secretary cast a pleading nce at Andrew—a look Madisyn didn’t miss.


    Madisyn’s eyes moved from the secretary to Andrew.


    Then, Andrew set his cup down andunched into a fresh round of negotiations.


    This was Madisyn’s first time directly opposing Andrew. As she listened to his precise analysis and confident tone, she felt the weight of the challenge. Yet, beneath the pressure, she found herself energized by the opportunity to face him.


    After a grueling round of negotiations, Madisyn lifted her cup and took a sip, savoring the sweet taste of victory. Both the Faraway Group and Andrew’s secretary couldn’t help but be impressed by her.


    Madisyn turned her gaze to Andrew, silently waiting to see if he would back down.


    Her gaze inadvertently conveyed a challenge to Andrew, though she was unaware of it, while Andrew’s handsome face remained expressionless.


    The CEO of the Faraway Group had already finalized his genuine offer and was now watching Madisyn and Andrew as theypeted against each other.
