“You…” Fabian wanted to raise his voice at Maria but held back upon seeing her complexion. After all, Maria looked the best today compared to the previous days.
“Are you listening to what I’m saying?” Fabian tried to be patient and asked her nicely.
“I heard you. Cameron is awake.” Maria placed her cutlery down and wiped her mouth with a napkin before looking at Fabian. “What about it?”
“He wouldn’t obey us anymore, and he is the same as he was in the past again!” As Fabian had gotten a reply from Maria, he sat down with one arm on his knee, appearing to be in distress as he continued, “It’s game over for us if he goes back on his words and takes the project back from us!”
If it were in the past, Maria would have been wailing already. However, she was exceptionally calm today, comforting him faintly, “No, he won’t.”
“How can you be sure of that?” Surprised by her words, Fabian asked doubtfully.
“Are you an idiot? This project isn’t playing house, so how could he go back on his words so easily and make changes? You’ve taken over the project, and you’re already halfway through. Why would he take it back now? He had raised quite a controversy back then already,” Maria disdainfully said as she walked over to the couch to pick up her handbag.
“Where are you going?” Fabian got up when he noticed that she was leaving.
“Shopping.” With that, she headed to the door.
Fabian did not sense anything before this, but now, he realized that Maria was acting strangely. She was being too unusual.
‘What is going on today? Cameron is acting so weird, and so is my wife. Do they both have problems or is it just me?’ Fabian thought.
