Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1065

Sophia Cole had taken two rounds of drinks for Noreen, and when she couldn't hold her liquor anymore, Claire tagged in.

There were simply too many guests tonight, and they were all overly enthusiastic.

During a brief lull, Claire whispered to Noreen, "I was actually worried no one would show up tonight. I even thought about calling some casting directors I know to hire extras to fill the room. Clearly, I was overthinking it."

Noreen was very pragmatic about it. "To be honest, some of the people here didn't come out of respect for me."

She knew exactly what they were after.

That was how elite circles operated, profit above all else.

They hadn't exchanged more than a few words before Silas approached, bringing Yolande along.

Since arriving at the venue, Yolande had been eager to find a chance to chat with Noreen.

But she had been too busy.

Too many people were vying for her attention.

So Yolande could only wait.

Only when Noreen had finished greeting most of the guests did Yolande drag Silas over.

Noreen had a good impression of Yolande, but her expression cooled noticeably when she looked at Silas.

Yolande chattered away for a bit before noticing her brother hadn't said a word. "Silas, didn't you have something you wanted to discuss with Noreen? Go ahead."

Taking the cue, Silas said smoothly, "Nexus Dynamics has been looking to partner with Winrich. I wonder if you might be interested, Miss Gilmore?"

Hearing this, Noreen raised an eyebrow.

If she remembered correctly, Silas had been in close contact with Jasmine recently.

Why the sudden interest in partnering with Winrich?

If it hadn't been for the situation with Jasmine, Noreen might have actually considered it.

After all, in business, there was no reason to turn away potential partners.
