"Why are you screaming!?" Tobias was growing increasingly irritated with her. It seemed like nothing had gone right since they got together.
Gia tried hard to suppress her rage and forced a smile. "I-I just wanted to ask if you found a buyer for the two pieces of land for the building."
"Forget it! I get angry just thinking about it!" He glared at her. "Aureneil Industrial doesn't want to work with me. I couldn't convince them, even after mentioning the Thompson Group!"
"Aureneil Industrial?" She was stunned, remembering a foreign company that had been making waves recently.
However, her instincts told her that the more colorful a mushroom was, the more poisonous it could be.
Moreover, the company seemed to have connections in Southern Aciatic.
Every thought of Southern Aciatic reminded Gia of Lina, and her rage grew uncontrollable.
"I think it's a good thing they don't want to work with you!" She fumed, sitting on the couch. "What if they're frauds? What if they take the money and run off to Southern Aciatic after signing the contract?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tobias grabbed her and heartlessly tossed her aside.
She staggered and hit the corridor wall. Her ears were ringing.
"Tobias! You..."
"What's wrong? When have I ever made a wrong decision?" He looked at her with disdain. "Did you know that this consortium has the backing of Southern Aciatic's royalty? Do you think Southern Aciatic's king is a fraud? Are they here just to scam me? What do they want from me!?"
"Royalty?" Something felt off when she heard that. She quickly moved forward to grab his arm.
But he dodged her as if avoiding a rabid dog. He then shoved her away with force as she approached him.
They pushed each other back and forth, their noise filling the entire office corridor.
"You can't work with them, Tobias!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
