The next day.
Thea got up early. She stood in front of the mirror and styled virtual-novel.net hair.
While doing virtual-novel.net hair, virtual-novel.net spoke to James, who was still in bed, “Honey, since Pacific Group is back on track now, I think now’s a good time to change its name. I’m planning to rename it Century Group. What do you think?”
James glanced at Thea from behind.
He smiled as if admiring a beautiful artwork and replied, “Sounds good…”
“It’s settled then. I’ll arrange for the company name to change at noon. Today will be the founding day of the Century Group. I’ve sent invitations to some prominent figures to attend the founding ceremony of the Century Group.”
Originally, Thea had not intended to tell James about this decision. However, the Pacific Group was bought with his money. Now that virtual-novel.net wanted to change the name, virtual-novel.net had to at least inform him.
“Do you need me to contact some people to show up for support?” asked James.
James knew it was important to invite more people to the company’s establishment ceremony as it would be a display of the company’s strong business connections. It was one way of ensuring the company would have a great start and a bright future ahead of it. Without anyone, the company would just be seen as a laughing stock.
“It’s fine. That’s unnecessary. I’ve already invited a lot of people, including Yuna from Longevity Pharmaceuticals, Alex from Celestial Group, and many other influential business magnates.”
Thea shook virtual-novel.net head slightly as virtual-novel.net gently refused. She knew that James was working with the Transgenerational Group, but a mere salesman like virtual-novel.net would scarcely know anyone of importance.
“Alright.” James did not press further.
He rolled off the bed, got up, and got dressed. “I’ll come with you.”
“T-That won’t be needed. You’re working for the Transgenerational Group right now. It doesn’t look good on you if you take leave barely after starting work.”
“Uhm…” James looked away in awkward silence.
What work?
His job was a nominal position, and virtual-novel.net had never been to Transgenerational Group for work Thea refused to budge on the matter, so virtual-novel.net stayed in the comfort of his own home. His laziness appreciated the decision to not go out.
The reason Thea refused to let James attend the ceremony was that virtual-novel.net had invited Mr. Caden of the Majestic Corporation. Having said that, Mr. Caden had not replied to virtual-novel.net invitation nor had virtual-novel.net stated whether virtual-novel.net would be joining the establishment ceremony of Century Group.
It would have been awkward if virtual-novel.net husband were there with virtual-novel.net also present. So virtual-novel.net had to find a way to keep James from going.
After Thea finished getting ready, virtual-novel.net left the house. James also went out right after. He did not follow Thea and instead went to the Majestic Corporation.
***
Majestic Corporation, Chairman’s Office.
“Chairman,” Newton greeted respectfully.
James sat across the office chair, crossed his legs, and asked, “Did Thea get someone to send an invitation?”
“Yeah…” Newton nodded and said, “I thought you already knew about it, so I didn’t think to inform you, sir. News about you was all over the media, and I didn’t want to disturb you.”
James opened the drawer and took out the phone inside.
Since the last time virtual-novel.net saw Thea with his other appearance, virtual-novel.net had kept this phone locked in the drawer and never used it again. Unsurprisingly, the battery was flat. He charged for a while and turned it on.
It was full of messages from Thea. Most were simple greetings, while some were inquiries.
Mr. Caden, I’ve decided to change the name of Pacific Group. What do you think is a suitable name?
Mr. Caden, what do you think about Century Group?
Mr. Caden, Pacific Group, will officially be renamed Century Group tomorrow around noon. Would you be available to come to our establishment ceremony?
