Chapter 392 Sabotage
A while later, Jeremiah interrupted everyone’s train of thoughts. “It’s a perfect proposal, but I need time to consider.”
Timothy would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed, but he was prepared for it. After all, agreements weren’t reached in one day. “Do give it some consideration. We’ll be leaving now, Mr. Linus.” He got up and said goodbye.
Henry got up as well. Jeremiah didn’t stop them. He saw them off, and after the door was closed, he commented, “They’re so much better than us when we were their age.”
Hayley noticed the look of acknowledgement on his face, and she frowned. “Do you think he’s that great?”
“Yes. He has a bright future ahead of him.” Jeremiah didn’t deny it. The only reason he didn’t agree was because agreements were reached over sessions of negotiations, not just a single one.
Hayley’s frown deepened. Her eyes glinted with cunning, then she looked at Jeremiah and pretended to hesitate.
Jeremiah noticed that, and he asked, “Do you have something to say, Hayley?”
Hayley waited for a few moments and pretended like she had resolved herself, then she said, “If it’s okay with you, I’d like it if you don’t work with him.”
“Why?”
“He’s not as good as he looks…”
Timothy had no idea Hayley was sabotaging him. After he and Henry went back, they waited for Jeremiah’s news, but two days had passed without anything happening.
