Chapter 302
Seth’s lie was flawless.
Savanna did not doubt him at all. But her disappointment tightly wrapped around her. She felt that Brandon was still angry.
She wanted to call him, but she hung up before he answered.
Savanna stood by the window of the bedroom, waiting. Yet Brandon did not call back.
Moreover, Brandon went to Spiritual Mountain with Jim.
Jim asked Brandon, “Why didn’t we just invite him over?”
Brandon said, “He has traveled all over the world. We don’t even know if he is here right now. Let’s see if we are lucky.”
Brandon leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.
Jim knew that recently, Brandon hadn’t been eating and sleeping well because he was worried about Savanna’s illness. And there was a lot of work in the company waiting for him to handle.
Even in such a messy state, the Thompson Group performed much better than last quarter.
Brandon was indeed a business genius.
Jim drove. He looked back at the three guys in the back seat. Thinking of the long road, he was still a little worried. Because the road was far, it was inconvenient to bring too many people. Jim had to pick a few strong men to go with them.
The car passed through several cities and headed straight for Spiritual Mountain. The road was getting more and more rugged. Initially, Jim thought that there was a problem with the navigation system. Seeing that the distance from Spiritual Mountain was smaller than before, he felt that the direction should be correct. He stepped on the accelerator to the end and the speed of the car soared.
The car bounced up and down. In the end, it broke down. Jim started the car several times but it just wouldn’t move. He turned back and said to Brandon, “The car broke down.”
Brandon got out of the car. Then, Jim and the other three men in black also got out. After a while, the car still didn’t work. A man in black lay at the bottom of the car and fidgeted for a while. When he got up, his face was full of black stains. “Mr. Young, there’s a problem with the host.”
Brandon looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, then looked down at the navigation on his phone. He estimated that Spiritual Mountain should be in front of them. So, he decided to walk to Spiritual Mountain.
Because they could not find the way, they did not approach Spiritual Mountain by the time it was dark. Jim was exhausted. He panted heavily and shouted to Brandon, who was in front of him, “Mr. Young, let’s take a break and eat something.”
Brandon stopped walking, untied his suit, and sat down on a big stone. Jim took two bottles of water and two packs of bread from the men in black.
Jim walked up to Brandon and handed him the water and bread.
They ate the bread with water.
The sky gradually darkened. Jim looked at the gloomy mountain ahead and suggested, “Mr. Young, it’s getting dark. Let’s stay here tonight and leave tomorrow at dawn. Is that okay?”
In fact, Brandon didn’t want to rest, but when he turned around, he saw that people were all exhausted. It seemed that they didn’t even have the strength to eat. So, Brandon could only agree.
Then, they set up tents.
Jim and the other people were really exhausted, so they laid down immediately after the tents were set
Brandon lay down in his tent, his heart filled with different matters. He took his phone, wanting to call Savanna, only to find that the phone was dead, and there was a missed call from Savanna.
He found the power bank in his bag and then called Savanna.
After one second, the phone was connected.
“Hello.”
“Savanna, I am on a business trip. I left in a hurry this morning. I didn’t have time to tell you.”
Brandon took the charger, opened the speakerphone, walked out of the tent, and stood in the dark mountains, looking at the dark mountain on the opposite side.
“I know. Seth told me. Where … are you going on a business trip?” Savanna asked.
