Chapter 24 Hearing this , she arched an eyebrow and smiled charmingly , " Someone's getting addicted to playing the sweet boyfriend . Thanks , Mr. Ortega . " Then she closed the door without hesitation . Staring at the door , Fulbert lowered his head and chuckled , his gaze deepening . Once at home , Sandria was in a much better mood . After washing up , she quickly sent Lynette a message . " I've dealt with everything . Now , let's talk about the studio . " Lynette immediately called her on video . " Already ? Gee , Sandy , you're surely as efficient as always . Thumbs up ! I've been worried about you . " Lynette was always good at reading people . Seeing the radiant smile on Sandria's face , she knew Sandria didn't suffer any losses . She smiled with relief . Then she continued , " Let's get down to business without wasting another second . I've got a big order - a new tech start- up wants to build a top - tier network firewall system , and the pay is great . I didn't dare to take it on before , so it's great you're back . I'll send you their information . " Sandria's phone dinged . Lynette had sent her relevant information about the tech company . Lynette beamed , her voice loud and brisk , " Sandy , finally , you're back . I was so worried that you might get soft - heart- ed and go back to that jerk . " Sandria's voice was firm . " I won't go back . " Giving her a thumbs - up , Lynette said , " Well , get yourself familiar with the materials first . Circle anything that you don't understand . I'll hit them up first thing tomorrow . Time to make a killer start ! " After hanging up , Sandria reviewed the files .

" His tone was gentle , but the condescension laced within it was unmistakable . " You'll meet a lot of new people there , and it helps with your career . You've always wanted to start a side business , right ? Sandy , see ? I still care about you . Could you stop being mad at me ? " He realized his lovesick act wouldn't win her back , so he decided to act humble and dangle connections and resources instead ? Wait … The Schroeder family ? She arched an eyebrow , wanting to laugh . Suddenly , she was so curious . If Florentino knew she was the daughter of the Schroeder family , the reason why they hosted the banquet , how would he react ? The look on his face would surely be priceless . Since she had already picked up , she might as well mess with him a little . She chuckled . " Sure . Then I'm counting on you to get me an invitation .
