“Huh?” Donald blurted out. He thought he was hearing things and stared at Hazel incredulously.
“Hazel is a sensible woman,” Danrique said as he smirked. “You should go back home and prepare for tonight.”
“Yes.”
Hazel bobbed her head cheerfully before turning to leave.
She didn't utter a word to persuade Danrique to change his mind despite coming to a consensus with Donald earlier.
Shocked, Donald watched as Hazel strode away. He had no idea what was going on. Is she trying to make me the bad guy? Did she pull out last minute so she could be the nice guy? Or does she have another plan? Or did Danrique's action break her heart, and she decided to give up on him?
Donald couldn't wrap his head around it. He could never understand how the mind of a woman worked, for they were always so unpredictable.
“Mr. Donald, should I see you off?” Sean broke the silence duly.
Donald heaved out a sigh before trudging out after him.
Halfway down the stairs, he couldn't stop himself from asking, “Sean, what do you and Gordon think about this matter?”
“Mr. Donald, you've got to be kidding. We’re Mr. Lindberg's subordinates. We can't comment on the matter,” Sean replied humbly.
“You can drop the formalities before me,” Donald said hastily. “Isabella trained you both, and you're a few years older than Danrique. As you're more mature, you can see the big picture and make decisions for the greater good. We're one family, so just speak your mind.”
“All right, I shall be frank with you.” Sean's lips curled up slightly as he said, “Of course, we want nothing but the best for Lindberg Corporation. We hope that the Lindberg family can always be in control of Lindberg Corporation.”
“That's right. You'll have to talk some sense into-”
“But...” Sean cut in before Donald could finish. “We believe in Mr. Lindberg. He has his own reasons for making that decision. We know he isn't a reckless person, so I hope you can trust him, too.” “Uh...” Sean was rendered speechless. He assumed he could convince Sean to persuade Danrique to change his mind. Alas, he had failed miserably.
“Forget it.” Shaking his head despondently, Donald got into his vehicle.
