Chapter 140: Lovers
Every word Cyril said, Frank understood. But when those words were all strung together, Frank couldn’t quite grasp their meaning.
“What do you mean this collaboration won’t work out? Weren’t things going well just now? Sure, there were some differences, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t compromise. After all, it was the Ivan Group.
“First, you need to clarify something for me. It’s not your first time meeting her, is it? Your reactions just now indicate otherwise. So, if you have some grudge against her, are you, trying to sabotage my company? What’s the deal here? And what exactly is your relationship with her? You need to spill it out for me first, let’s see if there’s any room for salvaging this. “Frank was genuinely anxious.
Losing such a promising collaboration right in front of him was just too disheartening.
Cyril took a deep breath, but the words seemed stuck on his lips.
“What’s the deal between you and her?” Frank’s impatience was showing. He paced around the office, occasionally running his hand through his hair. The thought of this collaboration falling through made him lose his composure.

Frank froze, in shock as he turned to Cyril. Did he hear that right? His ex- wife?

“You said it yourself, Sylvia has the entire Ivan Group behind her. Do you think it’s difficult for them to find a partner? This was her initiative, so she’s more invested. She’ll just move on to another company once she knows about us. So, you might want to reconsider your plan.”
Cyril’s words made sense, but they only fueled Frank’s anger. It was all Cyril’s fault. If it weren’t for him, this situation wouldn’t have arisen.
“Well, then it’s on you. Anyway, I have to figure something out with my colleagues. You better come up with a solution.”
