Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2555

"Ah, she… You don't know her, so I wouldn't want to force you to do that. Please, go ahead with what you need to do." I looked away, worried that Gareth would continue questioning me, so I walked straight ahead.

I had just taken a few steps when Gareth's voice sounded from behind. "Don't make an example of this. I hope you won't do anything you'll regret."

I did not dare look back at the man's expression. I hastened my steps to escape his sight as soon as possible. There was a corner in front of me, and I quickly went there.

I finally felt free of his sharp gaze.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I fished out my phone. Who was the one who had such impeccable timing to call at a time like that?

Marius?

I called him back. "Is there anything so urgent that you had to call me now of all times?"

The anger in my voice likely confused Marius as he replied in an aggrieved manner, "I wanted to report to you that we're close to convincing the Wagners. They’ll account for the majority when it comes to the bidding. You're fine with that, right?"

"Yes," I replied quickly.

I did not know if Gareth was still standing there.

I peered out from my corner. He had disappeared long ago.

The person he was visiting must be on this floor.

I came out of the corner and wandered around while Marius' voice continued on the phone, "Talks with the other companies haven’t been easy. Each of them wants to have a proportion or other benefits, or they'll quit. Do you think it is necessary for us to recruit so many people?"

"The point is to make a demonstration to the Yards. Give them whatever they want. Whether we can get the development rights or not is not important to us. You and Ty had better not go down that road," I replied to Marius while checking along the route. However, I could not find Gareth.

"Could this be the wrong floor?" I muttered to myself.
