Gary stood up as well and tidied his suit. “I’m leaving too. I have something to do as well.”
After the three left, only Xyla, Henry, and Stanley were left in the room.
Ring, ring, ring.
Just then, Xyla’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Georgie calling, she got up and went to the door to answer the call.
Georgie was talking to her about work in X Entertainment, so Xyla discussed with her earnestly.
Henry had no plans to leave. He kept smoking without care.
“Henry…” Stanley raised his head slowly, shifting his cold gaze to Henry’s face.
“Yeah?”
“Alex…”
Before Stanley could finish, Henry became solemn. “Definitely not… It took me great difficulty to train this person. If I give him to her, what’s going to happen to my team?”
“That land in the city center… haven’t you always wanted it to build a pub there?” Stanley elegantly flicked his cigarette. His tone was calm and casual.
Upon hearing this, a light sparked in Henry’s eyes. “Really? Are you willing to give me that land?”
“So… Alex?”
“No. She was just casually suggesting it. Do you have to?” Henry looked helpless.
“Then, I’ll just keep it for myself,” said Stanley, looking away from Henry.
At this, Henry immediately gave in. The location of that land was perfect. If it was used for investment by building a pub, the profits would no doubt sky-rocket.
He had been interested in it for a long time and begged Stanley for it since forever, but the latter never agreed.
