Chapter 45 " Being too confident isn't necessarily a good thing ." She glanced at the time and said , " The meeting is about to start , Mr. Kuntz . You'd better stop talking about these irrelevant things ." She turned to leave , but as Edmund watched her back , he suddenly said , " Neeta , stay away from Woodrow Hartwell . " " You have no right to interfere in my affairs . " Kaneeta replied impatiently . " His intentions toward you are not pure ." Kaneeta let out a laugh of exasperation . " Mr. Kuntz , instead of worrying about that , maybe you should consider whether you've gone too far yourself , to the point that others can't stand it anymore ." " With that , she opened the office door and strode out . Edmund watched her departing figure , feeling a deep sense of discomfort . He waited for her to come to him and make up , but she never did ; when he finally lowered his pride and tried to reconcile , she still refused . Neeta , just how far do you want me to go before you'll be satisfied ? By the time the meeting with the client was over and the project matters had been discussed , it was already the end of the workday . Kaneeta left the company without so much as a glance at Edmund , not even looking back . Edmund was still simmering with anger when , just then , an executive came to report something to him . " We've tried to contact the Drayton Group , but they haven't sent anyone to respond … Mr. Kuntz , I think the Drayton Group might not want to cooperate with us , the executive said cautiously . Edmund's face was cold . " You can't even handle such a trivial matter ? Am I paying you all just to keep a bunch of useless people around ? " The executive's face stiffened . He wanted to retort that working with the Drayton Group was hardly a trivial matter , but seeing Edmund's grim expression , he didn't dare say a word . Edmund was really just venting his frustration . Of course, he knew that cooperation with the Drayton Group was extremely important ; if they could pull it off, the Kuntz Group would reap enormous profits . But now , this bunch of incompetents couldn't even secure the chance to work with the Drayton Group . It seemed that all he could do was wait for Nyasia to get out of the detention center and have her reach out to the Drayton family . " Mr. Kuntz , are you … single right now ? " the executive suddenly asked . Edmund replied impatiently , " Why are you asking that ? " He had never made his relationship status public , so even the executives didn't know whether he had a girlfriend or not . The executive gave an awkward smile and said , " It just occurred to me - I've heard the Drayton Group has a daughter , Mr. Drayton's only child and the future heir of the Drayton family . Mr. Kuntz , you're young , accomplished , and handsome . If you could get together with the Drayton Group's heiress … " " Absurd ! " Edmund cut him off sharply . " I was just speaking off the cuff ," the executive said , forcing himself to continue . Chapter 45 " You may leave now . " " The executive , as if granted amnesty , hurried out . Edmund remained seated , his face tense , lost in thought . After a while , he opened his computer browser and began searching for information on Matthew's daughter , the heiress of the Drayton family . But there was almost nothing online about her - no photos , no information about her age , not even her name . All he could find was that Matthew had only one daughter , his beloved treasure , cherished since childhood . Moreover , when his daughter was very young , Matthew had already declared that his daughter would be the future heir of the group . The executive's words echoed in Edmund's ears : " If you could get together with the Drayton Group's heiress … " But soon , he shook his head , He couldn't believe how muddled he'd become , actually considering such a thing .
