NovelEnglishChapter 398
Faced with George's flattery, | just showed him an awkward smile.
| knew he did not really mean what he said. | knew full well what | was really capable of.
I had no idea why Theo said that. "President Manson, you know as well that it's hard forto manage Grant
Corporation alone. So I'm strictly following up with every project. | won't let the previous events repeat
themselves."
After that case, | was kicked out of Grant Corporation and suffered a lot of attacks. George smiled apologetically.
"Mrs. Grant, what happened last twas my fault. | hope you're willing to trustone more time. | promise
that it'll never happen again."
| raised my brows and turned to look at Benny." President Manson, are you still letting Mr. Sherman follow up with
the projects?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPresident Manson smiled and nodded his head. "He's been in charge of following up with the projects related to
Grant Corporation all throughout. He knows these projects best."
"Then please forgivefor rejecting you.” It was impossible forto stay in Salt City to manage Grant
Corporation. Even if | did stay in Salt City to manage i t, | did not want to work with Newlight Media. | could b e
screwed over by Benny, that jerk, at any time.
George was about to say something when Theo spoke first, "I respect my wife's decision. Since she refuses t o
work together with your company, then there's nothing much for us to talk about. What happened last thas
caused a great impact on Grant Corporation. My wife was even kicked out from the company. Although I didn't
ask for compensation for our losses, it'd be hard for us to work with your company again."
George's facial expression immediately changed." President Grant, you should know that our company wasn't
the only one at fault. It was also caused by the internal affairs of your company."
"Doesn't your company hold sresponsibility too?” There was no expression on Theo's face.
George did not say anything. He just stared at Theo with a gloomy face.
He could not deny that.
We started to eat once the dishes were served. Not even a sentence was exchanged as this odd atmosphere
continued to hang in the air. George and Benny were the first to leave.
After they left, | asked Mason to helpcheck in with Cecilia and Jerwhen he went to France for a business
trip. It was alright if he could not find them.
After we left the restaurant, | asked Theo when we
were in the car, "Since you didn't plan to cooperate with Newlight Media again from the beginning, why did you
promise to attend this dinner?”
Theo gavea mysterious smile. "lI have my intentions."
| curled my lips and said nothing more. No matter what he intended to do, | was not curious about it. He could do
whatever he wanted to as long as he was happy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm| was going back to Whaldorf City in a few days. | was thinking of buying sSalt City specialties and bringing
them back. Hence, | slept early at night.
The next morning when | was planning to go out, | received a call from Heidi.
| did not say anything. | waited for her to speak.
"President Lane...” Heidi's voice was choked up. "Are you free today? I'd like to meet up with you.”
| was a little hesitant when | recalled what Matthew toldthat day. "Heidi, | have something to do today.
I don't think | have time-"
"President Lane, please, I'm begging you,” Heidi cried out and interrupted me. "I just need a moment of your
time. Can we please meet up and talk about it?”
| knew what she was going to tell me. However, even if she toldabout it, | would not be able to help her. | bit
my lip. "Heidi, | can’t help you." "President Lane, can you bear to leaveto die?" Heidi cried miserably. "I'll
really die if you don't help m e.
"I'm begging you, please? Even though you can’t help m e, I'd still like to meet you."
