Amanda had the document in her hand and greeted him with a smile, “Mr. James.”
He nodded slightly.
She walked from the back of the car, looked at Casimir and said, “You go back first, I’ll take a taxi back after I finish talking with Mr. James.”
“I’m worried as there is no one around you. I’ll wait for you downstairs; otherwise you may on the news again.” He alluded to something.
Stanford seemed not to have heard it, turned around and walked towards the building. Even though he looked unconcerned, his hands were clenching tightly, and his face looked fierce. This constantly showed that he wasn’t as calm as he looked.
She glanced at Casimir.
Casimir wasn’t afraid of making trouble, he looked at Stanford’s back and said, “If Mr. James is still a man, don’t embarrass her. I think Mr. James can’t even find the loopholes in the project, it’s really not a gentleman’s act to do so on purpose.”
Initially Stanford didn’t want to quarrel with him, but at this moment, he resented his smug look. He paused and turned around to look at him, “I just want to do so. What can you do to me?”
He was speechless.
He pushed the door open and wanted to get out of car. She hurriedly pressed against the door and warned in a low voice, “Don’t spoil my matter, okay?”
His eyes twitched slightly, and he said angrily, “Is this kind of person considered a man?”
“You’re not marrying him. Why you care whether if he is a man? Be honest and don’t spoil my matter.”
After saying that, she glanced at him with warning, then quickly caught up with Stanford and explained, “Mr. James, don’t mind about it. He was angry about the news a few days ago.”
He didn’t say anything and went into the lift in silence.
Amanda followed him and asked, “Is Mr. James angry?”
“Um,” He turned his head to look at her and said, “But I’m not angry with him. No one can make me upset. I’m just angry at myself.”
It seemed to have another meaning in his words, but she didn’t understand. She just smiled and said, “I’ve redid the project plan.”
He asked, “Do you care about this collaboration?”
She replied, “Of course, it’s not I want as it’s supposed to be a win-win partnership.”
“Is that so?” he smiled, “Are you sure that I can still win after I sign the contract?”
Amanda was nervous as he seemed to sense something.
She calmed down herself and said with smile, “Of course it’s both of our interests since we work together.”
He lowered his eyes and hid all his thoughts.
Soon the lift stopped, he stepped down while Amanda followed him closely and asked, “Is Mr. James not satisfied with the business case I’ve done, or do you have any other comments?”
He said, “I don’t have any objection, I’m happy to …”
Suddenly he stopped, looked at her and said word by word, “I’m happy to work with Ms. Flores.”
Amanda let out a sigh of relief; she thought he wasn’t willing to work with her because he had found out something.
She smiled, “I’m also happy to work with Mr. James.”
He smiled, yet there was a hidden disappointment.
