Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2143

Nevertheless, Zeke heaved a sigh resignedly. “My signature won't mean anything. After all, I'm only a low-ranked salesperson for Linton Group.”

Only then did it remind Emma that even though Zeke was the founder of Linton Group, he was still a salesperson in the group. It had even turned into everyone's laughing stock in the group.

Eventually, Emma signed the agreement as requested.

Rhett kept the signed agreement instantly, as though he feared that Zeke would break out of it.

He buttered Zeke up by asking, “Mr. Williams, how about I buy you a meal today to celebrate the collaboration between the groups?”

Zeke turned him down right away. “It's all right. I have a tight schedule.”

Rhett did not give up pestering him. “Mr. Williams, how about you give me a call when you're free any day? Let's meet up for dinner then.”

Right that instant, Rhett was on pins and needles; his palms felt cold and clammy. He was worried sick that Zeke would reject him again.

Even when his wife was giving birth, he was never as anxious as how he was at that moment.

Zeke finally nodded. “Okay! Let's find another day.”

Phew! Rhett could not resist heaving a deep sigh of relief.

Soon, Zeke and Emma left.

In the elevator, Emma gazed admiringly at Zeke, awestruck. “Mr. Williams, I've long known about your prominence in Eurasia. But I've never expected that you're influential as well internationally. Even the ambassador of Yartran's embassy and the third shareholder of Mitxel Group have to bow to you. I'm impressed!”

Zeke chuckled. “Ha! That's just the tip of the iceberg. My actual capability is beyond your imagination.”

Emma gasped, “It's just the tip of the iceberg? Would you mind telling me more about that?”

Zeke only shook his head. “It won't do you any good if you happen to know more. Thus, forget about it. Don't ask further.”

Wearing a look of sheer disappointment, Emma had no choice but to reply, “All right.”

Somehow, she could not resist having the wishful thinking that she would gradually steal Zeke's heart one day. As time elapsed, she tended to yearn for more and was in low spirits with their current relationship. Deep down, she vowed to win his heart regardless of anything.

Within seconds, the elevator reached the first floor.

When they were about to step out of the elevator, a figure rushed toward them and collided with Emma. As a result, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She got all worked up and fumed, “What's wrong with you? Can't you be more careful while walking?”

Dumbfounded, the man called out, “Ah! Emma Jones?”

Emma and Zeke fastened their eyes on him right away. It never crossed their minds that they would bump into Brodie Turner, the hefty man who was supposed to rent the building to them.

Needless to say, he was there to sign a tenancy agreement with Sheldon. Since the latter did not succeed in collaborating with Mitxel Group, they foresaw his plan would go bust.

Emma only rolled her eyes at him before turning to leave, paying no heed to him.

Nevertheless, Brodie called out to her deliberately, “Ms. Jones, please wait. I've greeted your courteously, but you only turn a blind eye to me. Don't you think that you're ill-mannered?”

Emma snorted. “I won't waste time greeting anyone who does not comply with the spirit of the agreement.”

Earlier on, Brodie had agreed to rent the building to Emma. They had even signed a tenancy agreement. Unexpectedly, he tore the agreement into pieces later. Unequivocally, he was not a man of his words.

Brodie let out a sigh. “I have a hunch you're here to look for Ms. Lucy regarding the collaboration of Project Mitxel. So how's it? Did you manage to sign the agreement with her?”

Emma retorted annoyingly, “That's none of your business!”

Laughing triumphantly, Brodie mocked, “Haha! Apparently, you didn't make it. Don't you know why? Ms. Lucy stayed over at Mr. Guerrero's place last night and even asked you to go over to talk about the agreement, didn't she? It implies that they're now closely acquainted; yet, you still have the gut to talk her into collaborating with you. I bet you must have either lost your mind or your sense of shame!”

Zeke snapped back, “Then why are you here?”

Brodie grinned gleefully. “Of course, I'm here to sign a tenancy agreement with Mr. Guerrero!”
