Atlas and I chatted a little longer before finally hanging up. Although he was influential, we were in Martin’s territory. Still, I knew my chances of failure were nearly zero with Atlas’s support.
With Atlas’s assurance, I felt relaxed and visited Ryan’s room. Indeed, Ryan was busy discussing contract matters with Adrian and the legal team. As expected, Ryan was cautious and meticulous regarding business.
After a short while, Arthur called, and I hurried back to my room to give him a detailed report. Of course, he gave me a few instructions afterward. I realized he knew everything about Nelson’s misdeeds.
When I ended the call with Arthur, someone knocked on my door. I thought it was Ryan and the others, but I was surprised to see Jeremiah instead. It seemed he was well-informed since he knew which room I was in.
I asked arrogantly, “What brings you here?”
He noticed my hand was still on the door, not intending to let him in. He felt uneasy and looked at my hand several times. I figured I’d need to change rooms if I let him in.
Jeremiah smiled meaningfully but seemed hesitant about entering. He grinned and said, “Ms. Chloe, it’s rare for you to visit Bourdamun. Since I’m a local, it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t show you some hospitality.”
I rejected him indifferently, “There’s no need for that, but thanks anyway. Firstly, we don’t have social connections, let alone a partnership, so I have no reason to accept your hospitality. Secondly, it’s inconvenient for me to accept any invitations since I brought my team here.”
Jeremiah’s expression darkened when I rejected his invitation. He said, “It seems you don’t respect me enough, Ms. Chloe.”

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
Atlas literally took Chloe away from Ryan Ryan needs to go back and reinforce to be able to be head-on Caz that's the only place he's lacking...
