NovelEnglishChapter 711 "Besides, this job is pretty easy," I said.
Zane and I walked out of the office together. A newly opened restaurant was just around the corner, and we heard the chef there was quite skilled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZane decided to give it a try, so I accompanied him.
We had just sat down and placed our order when a middle-aged man suddenly slid into the seat across from me. The moment I saw his face, I looked away in disgust.
Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to stay calm before speaking. "Didn't we agree to meet tomorrow? What are you doing here today?" Otis rested his arm on the chair. He didn't say he intended to tarnish Annalise's reputation in front of Zane.
He tossed a folder onto the table. "Take a look at this." One glance was all I needed. I immediately recognized it as the sfolder I had sent by courier earlier that morning.

He had a point, but unlike him, I had done nothing wrong. After being ken & After betrayed, I walked aw away without looking back. And yet, despite being at fault, Otis acted as though he were the victim.
I calmly continued, "You're making it
seem like I'm to blfor everything.
think you've forgotten that all I did was to tell the truth publicly. Your NO daughter bullied me, and didn't do anything else your competitors hated you, so they tried to destroy you.
"If I were you, I'd be angry at my competitor. I can't understand why you're so angry with me." Then, I had an idea. "Are you picking onbecause I'm an easy targete ver and you can't take on your competitors? Because I have no power or influence?" Contene
