Chapter 555
Mr. Frost, who was trailing behind Myer, tapped on Myer’s shoulder. “Mr. Ben Ludwig called just now. Should we inform him that this meeting is going on?”
“Let him come over. He’ll see why I stopped him from pursuing that woman. Young people like him need to learn from his mistakes.”
Myer had always arrived half an hour before the meeting time when he met Edgar out of respect, but also because he had to bow to Royden Group’s superiority.
He held on to this grudge, hoping that one day, he would get back to Edgar.
Although he expected Edgar to come asking for a favor one day, he did not expect the day to come so soon. He could not wait to see Edgar’s conflict and dilemma now that he had power in his hands.
And yet, he felt his heart fall when he opened the door.
He stared forlornly at Edgar and Jean, who had consumed almost all the dishes, including the dessert!
How could they? This is so rude! I wished to see Edgar on his knees, begging, but now, he only had eyes for Jean. Myer groused when he saw Edgar glance at him.
“We can serve up a few more dishes that will surely satisfy you, our best customers! I’ll get the menu now!” Mr. Frost tried to dissipate the chill in the room, but Myer merely stared daggers at him.
“No, thank you. Mr. Royden doesn’t intend to dine with me, so I’ll be going now. Thank you!” Myer replied mechanically, expecting Edgar to drop to his knees and pour apologies, but he was wrong.
Jean burped but apologized quickly. “We’re done. Send us the bill.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Edgar offered his arm to her, but his eyes were on Myer. “You and I both know what is on your mind. We stayed back because I have something to tell you.”
Myer scoffed at him. “You know you have no authority to tell me off anymore, right?”
“You’re right.” Edgar grinned wolfishly, casting Myer’s heart into a cold dungeon. He knew that the more honest he was, the more drama he could create.
“Mr. Ludwig, you have the right to choose your partners. However, if you blindly listen to slander, you will lose your way.” Edgar’s eyes seem to grow darker. “Furthermore, don’t forget that Royden Group had merely met a bump in the road. Aren’t you afraid that my company might come back from the dead?”
“Psshh, you’re spouting delirious ideologies, Mr. Royden! Everyone knows that your company is waddling in debt. Banks are hesitant to offer you loans too! Who knows, your employees might not even get paid next month!”
Jean glanced at Edgar. What should I do? What happens if they start arguing for real?
Edgar’s usual cold expression could freeze ice.
Mistaking Edgar’s silence as a sign of defeat, Myers continued to prod him. “Mr. Shaw has invited me out a few times. His products won international prizes before. On the other hand, your products…”
“You might want to look up what ‘betray’ means. You might have a change of mind then.”
Edgar commented, deducing that Myer did not know that Andy Shaw’s company comprised of capable men that he poached from Royden Group.
Jean wanted to speak, but Edgar held her hand.
“Put on your jacket, it’s cold outside.” He offered tenderly, which was a stark difference from the expression he wore when speaking to Myer.
