When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 45

Dorothea ended the call and headed straight to Lenard’s office.

Lenard greeted her with a grin and waved her in. “Dorothea, you’re just in time. Lyman specifically asked to meet with you today.”

She glanced at the unfamiliar middle-aged man waiting inside, then gave him a polite nod.

Lyman stood up right away and reached out as if to shake her hand. “Dorothea, I’m Lyman, head of Administration at The Stephens Group. I’ve heard a lot about you and wanted to discuss a potential partnership.”

He said he’d heard about her... It was obvious whose reputation brought him here, but since Lyman didn’t mention it, Dorothea had no reason to bring it up either.

“Lyman, it’s a pleasure. I’ve heard great things,” she replied smoothly.

Lyman chuckled. “Our group’s subsidiaries and branches have always worked with Solstice Springs. They’ve handled accommodations for our headquarters trainings and all our important meetings. This year, though, we thought we’d try something new. People get bored staying at the same hotel every time.”

That excuse sounded flimsy, and Lenard knew it. If this deal went through, everyone would know it was thanks to Dorothea’s connections.

He handed the lead over to her without a second thought.

Dorothea was already familiar with the company’s business structure and the contract rates they’d offered clients over the years. She gave Lyman a warm, confident smile. “Thank you for considering The Gresham. We may not be quite at the seven-star level, but our hotels are built to high five-star standards. We’ve got branches all over the country, and for any room type you need, we can offer you our best rates. Of course, the longer the contract, the better the deal. How many years were you thinking about?”

Lenard glanced at Dorothea, totally satisfied. He’d heard the new executive in HR was smart, and she clearly knew how to work a negotiation. A client like The Stephens Group was worth half a dozen mid-sized ones. They had to lock this in.
