How My Ex Became My Next by Kirk Stanley ( Gilda Lynch ) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 

“Thanks to you, I was able to prepare by reviewing the nanotechnology materials you showed me in 

advance.” 

Otherwise, she might have been harassed by Ann and embarrassed during the meeting. 

“Jackson, are we still collaborating with Universe Blade Group on this project?” 

Jackson reached out and tousled her hair, his eyes soft like he was looking at a cherished treasure, “What do you think?” 

“Business is business, personal matters are personal. We have to separate them.” 

Jackson lightly agreed and then said, “Alright, let’s see Universe Blade Group’s sincerity. However, Gilly. can I discuss something with you?”

This question caught Lanny off guard. 

If anyone was a jerk in his eyes, it was Jensen, especially with his infidelity during his marriage, which couldn’t be forgiven.
