“Yeah.”
“Where to?”
“My wife’s place,” said Stanley.
“The young madam’s house? The Quest family’s old mansion?”
Zack’s eyes were filled with doubt, hardly believing his ears. Why were they suddenly cohabiting?
“We’re moving into the mansion beside the Quest Manor,” Stanley answered calmly as he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.
“Oh…” Zack nodded. “Right, Julian Sullivan came to the company today asking to see you, but I rejected him.”
Toot, toot, toot.
As he spoke, Zack’s phone rang again. Seeing that it was an unknown number, he answered it immediately.
“Is this Assistant Cassidy? Hi, I’m Julian Sullivan from the Sullivan Food Group,” said the voice on the other end.
“This is he. Only, why do you have my number?” asked Zack. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he put the call on loudspeaker.
“I got it from someone. Assistant Cassidy, would it be convenient for us to meet up and talk?”
“Uhh… it’s inconvenient.”
“I’d really like to have a good chat with your president. Can you help me, Assistant Cassidy? I will be sure to thank you properly.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you with this. Our president’s decision is final, so I hope that your company can transfer the investment money back into our Dragon Group’s account,” said Zack firmly.
