Yanis, “... Have recent events made you think too much that this could be a trap? But the contract is effective, and I also went to check the Blue Sky Company. That Tim Walsh is really the manager of the Blue Sky Company, he has a say.”
Blue Sky Company...
Thinking of the name of the company, Alice finally felt uneasy, “Go to find out who is the boss of Blue Sky Company, and then I will ask my brother to help me have a check on it.”
Yanis nodded, “Ok, no problem, I will immediately check.”
After Yanis was out, Alice sat down at the desk in the office, opened the contract and carefully read it again.
Soon it was time to get off work, and by this time Kennedy should be there.
Because of the things before, s Kennedy would avoid Zain's car.
Although he held disgust and resentment, but he avoided Zain for her sake.
So Alice temporarily rested assured.
She pursed her lips and slowly packed her things up to leave.
Yanis left first, so she could wait a little longer.
One second before work, Yanis suddenly ran in looking bad.
“Alice, I'm sorry.”
Alice was nervous hearing that, “What, what?”
Yanis bit her lower lip, “I just checked the boss of Blue Sky Company, and then I found...”
“What have you found?”
Yanis dare not speak, so Alice had to rebuke her, “Don't hesitate, say it.”
She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, afraid that Alice would scold her angrily.
“The boss behind Blue Sky Company is actually our old friend. You know him, his name is...”
Alice frowned and a name occurred to her mind.
“Manfred Moore... Kennedy’s brother.”
Hearing this name, Alice felt suffocated.
She stumbled and nearly fell forward, but in time she reached for the corner of the table.
“Calm down. This is all my fault. I should have looked into it beforehand, but I only checked the situation of Blue Sky Company, did not pay attention to see who the president is. I only know that Blue Sky Company has good reputation, so I did not care about that. That was an oversight on my part...”
Manfred Moore...
Alice suddenly thought of the previous twice meeting in the supermarket and his words.
No wonder that... No wonder the price was high, no wonder Manager Walsh looked at her differently.
It wasn't just about cooperation, was it?
Thinking of this, Alice bit her lower lip hardly, and her grip on the corner of the table became tighter and tighter. After a moment, she calmed down and said quietly, “I know.”
Yanis looked at her with worry, “Are you ok, Alice? It's my fault. Shall I go to Blue Sky and find Manfred right now and tell him we won't work with him? He is, after all, your old friend, and he will agree if we ask.”
With that, Yanis turned to leave.
“Stop!” Alice stopped her.
Yanis stopped her pace, “Alice?”
“Now it's time to go off work, my brother is coming. You pick up things to wait for my brother, and then go to school to pick up Jack.”
“Alice!”
“Go, nothing has happened and you know nothing.”
“And this contract...”
“I will personally deal with it, you leave it alone.”
