Of course she's eager to see you! Jake was rubbing palms together restlessly, clearly feeling uneasy about the situation. "Mr. Landon, from one man to another, I think careers should always come first..."
Marcus sat there, going through some documents as Jake went about his blabbering.
At first, Marcus was courteous towards Jake. But as time went on, he got increasingly annoyed, to a point where he tossed his documents onto the table in front of him, expressing his displeasure all over his face.
"Mr. Wilson, if you have nothing else to say, I think you should leave now. Ms. Duff invited you too, right? Don't you need to get ready?" Marcus asked.
Get ready? I'm not even going!
"I don't have the time for that, Mr. Landon. As I said, my work comes first," Jake answered deliberately.
"Then why are you here? Your work is back in your home country, right?" Marcus responded, rendering Jake speechless.
Looks like he has no intention of siding with me..
With that, Jake let out a quiet sigh, upset written all over his face. He knew Marcus would reject him if he came to him looking to work together. Luckily, I did something about the ship.
In the end, Marcus took a look and his watch, then at Jake, before leaving with his coat in hand.
Jake was rather disappointed to see the man before him disappearing from his sight.
"Mr. Wilson, what should we do now?"
What can we do? Let's just attend that banquet.
"To the banquet!" Jake said as he walked out.
Because of Della's cooperation, Larry was able to complete his task within the shortest time frame.
Caspian and Larry's assistant was gobsmacked to see the piles of clothing in front of them. They never expected the workers in the factory to be able to produce so many clothes in such a short amount of time.
"Alright now, stop gawking! I hired a lot of workers and doubled their pay to make this possible," Larry explained, seeing that the two were dumbfounded.
