Faced with George's flattery, I just showed him an awkward smile.
I knew he did not really mean what he said. I knew full well what I was really capable of.
I had no idea why Theo said that. "President Manson, you know as well that it's hard for me to manage Grant Corporation alone. So I'm strictly following up with every project. I won't let the previous events repeat themselves."
After that case, I was kicked out of Grant Corporation and suffered a lot of attacks. George smiled apologetically. "Mrs. Grant, what happened last time was my fault. I hope you're willing to trust me one more time. I promise that it’ll never happen again."
I raised my brows and turned to look at Benny." President Manson, are you still letting Mr. Sherman follow up with the projects?"
President Manson smiled and nodded his head. "He’s been in charge of following up with the projects related to Grant Corporation all throughout. He knows these projects best."
"Then please forgive me for rejecting you.” It was impossible for me to stay in Salt City to manage Grant
Corporation. Even if I did stay in Salt City to manage i t, I did not want to work with Newlight Media. I could b e screwed over by Benny, that jerk, at any time.
George was about to say something when Theo spoke first, "I respect my wife's decision. Since she refuses t o work together with your company, then there's nothing much for us to talk about. What happened last time has caused a great impact on Grant Corporation. My wife was even kicked out from the company. Although I didn't ask for compensation for our losses, it'd be hard for us to work with your company again."
George's facial expression immediately changed." President Grant, you should know that our company wasn't the only one at fault. It was also caused by the internal affairs of your company."
"Doesn’t your company hold some responsibility too?” There was no expression on Theo's face.
George did not say anything. He just stared at Theo with a gloomy face.
He could not deny that.
We started to eat once the dishes were served. Not even a sentence was exchanged as this odd atmosphere continued to hang in the air. George and Benny were the first to leave.
