Chapter 1648 I Can Give Them Away

Seconds later, Jack's gaze darkened as he turned to his assistant. “Call Lucian and arrange a meeting with him tonight!”

Kevin nodded without hesitation, grateful that he could finally leave the scary atmosphere in the office to make the call.

However, just as Kevin was about to take his leave, Jack's voice boomed out. “Stop right there! You can make the call here!”

I want to hear Lucian giving in to my demands!

With his head still hung low, Kevin shuddered and hastily fished out his phone to call Lucian.

Fortunately, the call got through after just a few rings.

“Hello, Mr. Farwell. I'm Mr. Damaris' assistant,” Kevin greeted.

On the other end, an inscrutable Lucian stopped the car by the road and held the phone to his ear. “Has Jack Damaris made a decision?”

Kevin had put his phone on speaker so Jack could hear the conversation clearly in the silent office.

Alas, the latter's expression turned grim when he heard Lucian addressing him by his full name.

Kevin tensed up at the sight of his boss' reaction and knew he'd have to proceed with caution. “Mr. Damaris would like to meet up with you tonight. I'll text you the time and location in a bit. Is that okay?”

“Sure,” Lucian replied without hesitation.

Hmm. I thought Jack would try to stall this as much as possible, but now that he wishes to hold the discussion, I'm more than happy to abide! Furthermore, I'm also curious why he has dragged this out for so long. What does he want exactly?

Kevin ended the call at Jack's instruction and quickly booked a hotel's private dining room for the meeting. With that, he texted the details to Lucian as promised.

Instead of replying to the text, Lucian started his engine and drove straight to the hotel.
