Because of this, Thomas had not been paying attention to what Nellie had been saying at all.
He immediately snapped out of his thoughts, regained his composure, and smiled as he glanced at Nellie. "No problem at all. Let's sign the contract right now."
Then, he glanced at Luna, who was still gaping at him. "Let’s sign the contract, Ms.
Luna."
Luna furrowed her brows and stared back at him in puzzlement. "I honestly have no idea what you're trying to do."
Thomas smiled and tossed the stack of documents onto the table in front of her." After you sign this, we'll officially be business partners. With all the time we’re going to be spending together, you’ll eventually find out what I'm trying to do."
All of a sudden, Luna could not help feeling that the contract she was holding was like a ticking time bomb.
If Joshua were here, he would have stopped her from signing this contract, but
Her breath caught in her throat when she lifted her head to glance at the image of Sean on the screen, who seemed to become increasingly lethargic by the minute.
Even though Sean was not related to her by blood, he was Jim's brother and Joshua’s cousin.
Not only that, but he was the newly adopted son of her parents.
Therefore, she did not dare to put Sean's well-being at risk for her dignity.
What if...
What if the person helping Thomas had indeed been Malcolm all this while?
Malcolm had grown up in Merchant City, so he knew this place like the back of his hand.
What would happen if they could not find Sean anywhere in Merchant City, not even with the combined forces of Joshua, Jim, and Luke?
Finally, Luna let out an exhale.
