I wanted to read the journal, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Right when I was scratching my head in frustration, I realized I had left the journal in another bag as I was in a rush when packing my stuff.
Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do with that.
Without Armond’s participation, the lawsuit went on smoothly, while the cooperation between the Fuller Corporation and the Murphy Corporation could only be called off. Besides, the product launch was delayed, and it had affected the Fuller Corporation’s profits.
Rachel had paid a lot of effort on the project, so she was reluctant for it to end that way. After discussing with Ashton, he agreed to hold a public tender in A City to look for a new business partner.
On the other hand, I had nothing to work on at the Murphy Corporation anymore. But because of the public tender, Ashton and I continued to stay in A City for the time being. Meanwhile, Holden called me once and told me that Nora almost got into trouble at the hotel, but he took her to his villa.
When I heard that, I was relieved as that was something to be happy about.
For the following days, Ashton and Rachel were busy with meetings for the new public tender. On the other hand, I was looking for Danny in A City, and it was rather difficult to do so, as he didn’t give me his contact number.
What surprised me the most was Tessa contacting me personally. She asked to meet as she had some matters to discuss, but I was reluctant to see her because I had nothing to discuss with her.
However, she was determined to meet me. Bringing up the incident in Venria, she insisted on inviting me out for a talk, so I had to agree.
We agreed to meet at a café. It was November, so the weather in A City was chilly. Tessa wore a stylish orange coat with a green turtleneck. As she was rather chubby, the turtleneck covered her neck and made it seem shorter.
I sat at the seat in front of her. She looked frazzled as if she had been staying up late for a long time. The heavy makeup didn’t do her face justice, either. It seemed dirty and made me feel uncomfortable just looking at her face.
“What would you like to drink?” She asked and sized me up.
I answered, “Anything would do.”
The woman nodded and fell silent for a while before saying, “Long time no see. You’ve become prettier.”
