Summit scene.
After Mike and Joey had been arguing for nearly twenty minutes, they were both worn out.
"You're such a drama queen!" Joey retouched his glasses on the bridge of his nose and added
Mike sneered, "Every time your boss comes up, you lose all reason. You should really reflect on yourself! Your boss isn't your dad; who are you to say you understand him?"
"You're the one who needs to reflect! Why do you care who my boss invests in? Even if he really did invest in Alexa, that only means Alexa has business value! It doesn't mean he admires her character!" Joey retorted.
"Don't call me for drinks any more! Since you guys are in cahoots with Alexa, let's just cut ties from now on! I'm Violette's employee!" Mike drew a line between them.
Joey's face turned red, "Fine, we won't hang out! Who wants to hang out with you anyway?"
After the argument, they each went to find their own boss.
Ten minutes later.
Mike couldn't find Violette, so he went to find Joey again.
"I can't find Violette! Where's your boss?"
Joey shrugged and said, "I don't know. He didn't tell me where he was going. We're here for the summit."
"Violette is also here for the summit! She has to give a speech later!" Mike looked worried, took out his phone, and called Violette.
Her phone was off, and he couldn't get through.
"Do you think my boss is here to be a spectator?" Joey sneered, "Since both of them are missing, they must be together."
"Of course I know they're together! It must be that jerk Elijah who kidnapped Violette!"
"Can you use a more polite word?" Joey glared at him and said, "Don't panic; my boss has a good sense of time; he should be here soon."
Mike took a deep breath, and decided to wait.
Half an hour passed!
The summit had already started for twenty minutes!
Elijah and Violette were still nowhere to be seen.
If there weren't so many people around, Mike would definitely grab Joey by the collar and ask him, Is this Elijah's sense of time?
