Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 765

Today, Noreen was at the Harborview Chamber of Commerce meeting, representing Centribo. Thanks to Castle's connections, everyone at the Chamber was quite courteous to her.

She was even given a seat right at the front, a prime spot.

As soon as she sat down, several people came over to greet her.

Centribo had developed well over the past few years, but in a place like Harborview City, strength was only part of the equation.

The rest depended on connections.

The businesses in Harborview City were different; they preferred to stick together, which naturally made them a bit exclusive.

Moreover, Noreen was a very young businesswoman.

So, Centribo's growth had been somewhat constrained in the early years.

That difficulty eased after she got engaged to Castle.

Even the Harborview City Chamber of Commerce had started to include her.

But today, Noreen was clearly distracted.

Silas arrived late, and the meeting started just as he took his seat.

By the time he noticed Noreen was there, it was too late to go over and say hello.

During the mid-session coffee break, he was about to look for her when Jaxon approached him to discuss a partnership between their two companies.

Silas dismissed Jaxon with a few brief words, but when he turned back to find Noreen, she was gone.

After searching around for a bit, he learned from a business acquaintance that Noreen had left early due to an urgent matter.

Missing her this time left Silas feeling incredibly disappointed.

As soon as Noreen left the meeting, she called Seth.

She needed to talk to him.

She wanted to clear the air once and for all.

To avoid things getting even more tangled.

The call was answered by Jude, who sounded hesitant.

Noreen asked him directly, "Where's Seth?"

"He's... busy."

"Is he afraid to answer the phone?"

Jude was at a loss for words.
