Eloise had met Mr. Robertson, and the temporary reception had been set up for some time, and Mr. Robertson had visited several times.
"Mr. Robertson. how do you do? What can I do for you?" Eloise stepped forward in trepidation, and his lips were trembling slightly as he spoke. She had been timid enough and she was inevitably scared in front of such an imposing man as Mr. Robertson.
Otis crossed directly over Eloise, his strong body knocking her away a few steps.
Eloise was knocked nearly to the ground, and she stood aside with a pale face, glancing worriedly at Joyce.
Otis walked directly up to Joyce and laughed, "Ms. Knowles, sorry, I am late."
"Mr. Robertson, how are you?" Joyce politely suggested, "Since Mr. Robertson has invited me to have a land tour together, and it's getting late, why don't we begin as soon as possible?"
"There's no rush, and there's not much for us to see either." Otis said faintly.
"..." Joyce knew in her heart that Otis could never have called her just for something as simple as a land tour.
But he had been arrogant enough to admit his purpose.
"This is the first time I've been to the project site, Mr. Robertson, would you please give me a brief introduction? I heard that the military has a secret base here?" Joyce looked around, "But it doesn’t look like there is something like that."
"Huh." Otis stomped his foot, "It's right under your feet."
Joyce was a little surprised, "So it's underground?!"
No wonder!
No wonder the Heath family and the Warner family had been inextricably linked since the beginning of this project four years ago. The Heath family could not develop the entire land by themselves, and the Warner family could not do it without the Heath family either.
