"Jansten Development is also a very good company. You and President Grant were too soft-hearted not to ban her. How could she get such a good job otherwise?"
Nicky's past behavior was truly disgusting and I could understand their unfriendliness toward her.
I said nothing. I just asked them to work hard and then left the office.
I wondered what was she and Theo talking about. Could they be discussing the partnership?
Time crawled by the second and minute. After estimating that it was about time, I then went to the conference room.
Sure enough, Nicky had just walked out. She wore a charming smile on her face when she saw me. "Looks like you weren’t able to sit still, Director Lanel."
She was still so confident. Back when she was dealing with Theo before, her eyes had only been on him and would approach him constantly. She did not anymore now though.
I did not know if she had really let go of him or if she had some other motives.
"It's not that I couldn’t sit still. I was just worried that someone is hiding something." I did not give her any face at all and just said what was in my heart.
Nicky smiled. Those red lips of hers looked coquettish as she fixed her gaze on me. "If I really had some other intentions, I would have caught President Grant in the conference room just now..."
I turned my head to the side, not wanting to hear anymore.
I heard her chuckle. "Let’s stop her. I still have work to do. Goodbye.”
Goodbye?
When I turned around, she had already left. The scent of her perfume was still in the air. Did Theo really tell her about the partnership?
I went to the conference room. Theo was still inside. I pushed the door open, went in, and took a seat. "How did it go? Did you tell her?"
Theo shook his head. "No, I just told her that I wanted to talk to President Jans about some things of the past. Since he didn't come, it wouldn’t be good for me to talk about myself either."
"Then why did the conversation drag for so long?"
