Chapter 482

Isabella still attended the Monday meeting at NovaTech.

Alexander had an important executive session that required his full attention.

He didn't personally attend Isabella's presentation this time.

However, when his meeting concluded, Daniel and Benjamin heard him inquire, "Has the downstairs meeting adjourned yet?"

"If the follow-up proposal has been submitted, bring it to me immediately."

They exchanged knowing glances, recalling how Alexander had previously sat in on Isabella's meetings.

They observed the substantial pile of documents awaiting Alexander's review.

He was scheduled for a business trip tomorrow, requiring all current files to be processed today.

In comparison, the project discussed in Isabella's meeting wouldn't commence until next month.

The proposal remained in its preliminary stages.

Alexander could easily review it after his return.

But since he requested it, Benjamin retrieved the newly delivered documents from the downstairs meeting.

He placed the proposal on Alexander's desk.

Although labeled as preliminary, Isabella had thoroughly developed the subsequent workflow.

The report Alexander received was exceptionally detailed and well-structured.

He immediately focused on the specific implementation procedures.

The pages contained extensive technical terminology that largely eluded Daniel and Benjamin's understanding.

The proposal spanned multiple pages, but after reviewing just the initial section, they noticed a subtle smile gracing Alexander's features.

He scanned through the document with remarkable speed, focusing on key technical terms.

They watched as his reading pace accelerated—eight pages of dense content consumed in under three minutes.

By the time he finished, the satisfaction in his eyes became unmistakable.

His evident approval of the proposal was clear.

Just as Daniel and Benjamin prepared to comment, Alexander closed the document and stated, "They're likely heading to a group luncheon."

"Benjamin, inform them I'll be joining."

Both men paused momentarily before Benjamin responded, "Certainly."

Indeed, Isabella's team had scheduled a lunch gathering for noon.

As departure time approached, Isabella and her colleagues prepared to leave when NovaTech's technical department head, Sebastian Hayes, announced, "Just received word that Mr. Whitmore will be joining us for lunch."

Isabella showed little reaction.

Nathaniel, who was also present today, pressed his lips together upon hearing this.

Leaning toward Isabella, he murmured, "Given the current cooperation phase between our companies, his personal involvement seems unnecessary."

"Why is he coming?"

Isabella simply shook her head.

If he didn't know, she certainly couldn't speculate.

Alexander had considerable work to complete, so Isabella, Nathaniel, and their team arrived at the restaurant first.

They waited briefly before Alexander appeared with Benjamin.

When Alexander entered, several NovaTech senior executives and engineers immediately rose to greet him.

After brief pleasantries, his gaze shifted to Isabella and Nathaniel.

He extended his hand for a formal handshake.

"I've reviewed the follow-up proposal."

"The conceptual framework is outstanding."

"Thank you for your diligent work."

The senior technical staff appeared surprised by this announcement.

Their proposal had just been submitted—how had Alexander already reviewed it?

So quickly?
