Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 690

Later, Carlisle ended up in the hospital due to organ failure from extreme dieting. Jordan gave Carlisle ten thousand dollars to help him recover. However, Carlisle received a termination letter from their HR team the following day.

"Carlisle?"

Bob took a drag from his cigar and looked Carlisle up and down. He noticed his smart clothes and the impressive bodyguard accompanying him. He raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"It looks like you've made it big."

Carlisle raised his wine glass, smiling.

"Yes, I've done quite well for myself."

"So you're Carlisle of Aurora Holdings?"

Jordan's face twitched in disbelief.

"Aurora Holdings?"

Bob's hand shook as he processed the news. His eyes widened in shock.

"The company behind Alumni Network?"

"That's right."

Impressed by Carlisle's performance, he immediately raised his glass.

"Mr. Zahn, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Jordan Holman, founder and CEO of Creative Advertising."

Seeing Jordan stand up to toast Carlisle, Bob quickly snuffed out his cigar and stood up with his wine glass in hand.

"Mr. Zahn, I was unaware of your association with Aurora Holdings. I apologize if I've been disrespectful. Please allow me to make amends."

He then downed the rest of his wine in one gulp. Bob was always careful in his dealings. He knew a few unsavory characters back in Dragonville, but none of them caught his eye. Riverland, however, was another entirely different matter. Here, even a small-time businessman could have significant power.

Bob wasn't fully aware of the extent of Aurora Holdings' influence, but he knew that Alumni Network, with its reputation and eight million registered users, was a significant player in the industry.

In fact, with such a large user base, Alumni Network was one of the top ten internet companies in the country. The chairman of such a prominent company was not someone he could afford to offend.

In this context, Bob understood the importance of being tactful.noveldrama

"Mr. York, there's no need for such formalities. Let's just sit down and talk," Carlisle said, pulling up a chair.

Jordan then turned to Selena and smiled.

"Mr. Zahn, who are these two?"

Selena replied warmly, "Mr. Holman, I'm Selena Johansen, Mr. Zahn's secretary. And this is his bodyguard."

"Mr. Zahn, you have an eye for talent. Your secretary and bodyguard stand out. They must be top performers in their field, I assume?"

Jordan was eager to win him over.

Carlisle ignored Jordan's question and focused solely on Bob.

"Mr. York, how's your company been doing lately?"

Caught off guard, Bob stammered, "I-it's doing okay."

Jordan asked Carlisle a question, but Carlisle ignored the former. Bob wondered if something had happened between them. He looked at Jordan, growing irritated. "Mr. Zahn, isn't it rude to ignore the person you're talking to?"
