Hamish waved and interjected, “If she says not to mind her, we won’t. Please have a seat, Mr. Shane.”
Shane stopped overthinking and sat down to discuss halting the Knights’ development. He said the exact words he had told Xavier, with Hamish now the target.
“Mr. Hamish, you’re a visionary. That’s why I came to you for help. Getting in the Knights’ way will benefit our companies significantly. You wouldn’t refuse this proposal, would you?”
Hamish was drinking water when he heard that. He immediately spat it out and coughed violently. “Cough! Cough, cough! Ahem!”
Hamish glanced at Bonnie and thought, ‘I wonder how Shane will react once he realizes Ivor’s fiancee is sitting across from him.
‘Also, Bonnie isn’t just that—she’s also the chairwoman of Tang Fusion Studios. Saying he wants to go against them is a death sentence.’
Meanwhile, Bonnie remained calm after hearing Shane’s proposal. She showed no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.
Shane did not notice Hamish’s gaze toward Bonnie. Instead, he heard Hamish coughing hysterically and asked with concern, “Are you okay, Mr. Hamish?”
Hamish patted his chest and gathered himself before responding, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shane.”
Upon hearing he was okay, Shane continued, “Mr. Hamish, what do you think about my proposal? Would you consider working with me?”
