My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015 

He was well aware of the weight a director from Universal Group 

carried. 

Nash casually crossed his legs and said, “Clarkke, don’t think I’m 

unaware of what your company is up to. If you scheme against 

Baroque again, I won’t hesitate to drive Innovate Collective to 

bankruptcy.” 

Clarke’s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly 

suppressed his inner shock. It was impossible. They had executed 

that plan flawlessly. There was no way an outsider could know about 

Nash continued, “Also, there’s Splendor.” 

After Duncan instigated the fire at Baroque, Nash had been busy 

dealing with him and had no time to pay attention to Splendor and 

Innovate Collective. 

Clarke stared at Nash in disbelief. He suddenly felt that the person in 

front of him was unfathomable. 

“Are you the one behind Baroque’s growth from a company with just 

over a hundred employees to what it is today?” 

“What do you think?” 

“I understand. From now on, Innovate Collective will not compete with 

Baroque in any way!” 

“Good. You’ve got some sense.” Nash nodded.

2/3 

Clarke lowered his head and quickly left the office. Once he was 

outside, he realized that his back was soaked with sweat. 

Lucas returned to his desk and called Hera. 

“Ms. Lewis, I’m the new manager of Universal Group’s Business 

Department. We’ve decided to purchase chips from Baroque at 

market price and are hoping for long-term cooperation!” 

There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds. 

It was not until Hera’s secretary called out to her that she snapped 

back to reality. “Am I… Am I dreaming? Aren’t you supposed to sign al 

contract with Innovate Collective this afternoon?” 

Lucas chuckled. “Until the contract is signed, everything is uncertain. 

Are you available now, Ms. Lewis? I’ll bring the contract over!” 

“No, no, I’ll come over!” Hera quickly replied. 

“No need, no need, I’ll come over!” Lucas insisted. 

“But we’re the supplier, and you’re the client. The client is everything, 

so how can we make you come over?” Hera replied modestly. 

Lucas had turned on the speakerphone. He looked at Nash awkwardl 

and saw him nodding, so he agreed. 

An hour later, Hera, dressed professionally in a suit and high heels, 

arrived at the office while panting. “Mr. Welsh, I’m here!” 

She was incredibly nervous. She had practically run the red lights on 

the way here. 

Lucas had already prepared two copies of the contract, both signed 

Cupped this 

and stamped. Hera immediately wrote down her name without even looking through the contract.

“Mr. Welsh, I’m really grateful to you. I came in such a hurry today and 

didn’t have time to prepare any gifts. How about I treat you to a meal 

another day when I have time?” Hera said nervously. 

Lucas sighed and smiled wryly. “No need for gifts or meals. The 

Inspection Department is strict about these things.” He glanced at 

Nash sitting on the couch. 

Hera noticed Lucas’ gaze and turned her head to see Nash leisurely 

sipping tea. 

“N-Nash… what are you doing here?” she asked. 

“I’m an employee of Universal Group. Is it strange to see me here?” 

Nash smiled. 

Only then did Hera realize that Nash had helped her. He had not 

forgotten his promise to her. 

Nash stood up and said, “Mr. Welsh, sorry for the interruption. I’ll take 

my leave now.” 

Lucas also stood up and said, “No worries, Mr. Calcraft. Feel free to 

come over for tea anytime!” 

Nash then took Hera on a tour of the Inspection Department. Juan 

and Lynn were not in the office, so Nash pulled Hera into his own 

office and closed the soundproof door. He then drew the curtains. 

Hera looked at Nash warily. “You want to do it?” 

Nash nodded seriously. “Yes, I do.”
