The box seemed to be very heavy.
Eugene didn't step forward to stop him, but he had kept a wary eye on the black suitcase Luther was holding. He'd already made a big mistake today, and he must not make another.
Luther kept walking up to Otis.
Otis resumed his seat on the sofa and crossed his legs in a relaxed and leisurely manner. He took out a cigar again, but he didn't rush to light it. He just held it between his fingers.
Joyce felt nervous, reached out and tugged Luther. She whispered, "What are you doing? I don't want you to worry about my business. Get out of here."
Luther glared back at her fiercely. ‘What an audacious woman! I'll never let you go easily this time after we leave this place.’
Then, with a light smile, he opened the black suitcase in front of Otis.
Surprisingly, it was all gold bars.
The light in the box was originally dim, and when Luther opened his suitcase, the gold bars reflected a dazzling golden light that could almost light up the whole room.
Joyce looked at the entire suitcase of gold bars and froze on the spot. What the hell was this man doing?
Luther pushed the gold bars forward, "Mr. Robertson, it’s the first time I have been in the Capital and I have got this little gift for Mr. Robertson. I hope Mr. Robertson will like it."
"Oh, how interesting. What does Mr. Warner mean by this?" Otis didn't have much of a reaction when he saw the gold bars.
Rather, he only thought Luther's attitude was unusual.
Although they did not have a problem before, they were actually romantic rivals because of Charlotte. After all, Charlotte had been thinking about Luther all the time.
"Our families are working closely together and the project has also got started again. I have been so rude and I have never come to visit Mr. Robertson before. Since I'm here today, this gift should be taken as my apologies. As for the future, naturally, I know what to do."
