He knew very well how important this project was to Grant Corporation and that Nicky and Theo would not let it go so easily.
Drover had caught on to this point, which was why he dared to speak so ruthlessly.
Guessing this, my heart gradually eased. I knew that Drover was not a reckless person. It turned out he had already thought it all through.
Nicky took a deep and very heavy breath.
After a long time, she grinned. "We’re both partners. Why fight for this woman? I won’t make things difficult for her as long as keeps to herself. Is that alright?"
In the end, she chose to back down for the project. However, I did not think that she would be letting me off just like this. At most, she just would not oppose me openly. After all, I had Carlson Schuman and his wife in front of me and Drover’s threat over the project behind me. Nicky would be an enemy that surrounded me.
Drover did not reply to her. He just looked at me. "You must tell me if you’ve been wronged."
His voice was very gentle like the rising sun in winter. It made one feel warm.
I nodded at him. "Don't worry, I won't treat myself badly."
After hearing my response, Drover turned to Nicky and said a little impatiently, "Let’s hurry up and discuss the project in the conference room."
After he said that, he stretched out his long legs and turned back toward the conference room.
Nicky glanced at me and said in a clear tone, "Don't think that you can slack off just because you have someone backing you. Take out the bucket and rag in the conference room." After she said that, she also went into the conference room.
I took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and grabbed the items inside before backing out and going back to my department.
The other ladies had not returned yet, so I sat down in an empty seat with my thoughts running all over.
