Unless William broke up with Angie.
Anyway, Vivian would be somehow comforted by his decision, whether he chose to keep Roe or Angie.
She would get Roe’s custody, if he picked his girlfriend. Or Angie couldn’t take advantage of Roe as his stepmother, if William kept Roe.
This was what John advised her this morning.
William checked those folders with a darkened look. Then he asked abruptly, “Have you measured up your chances to win the case now?”
Vivian rolled her eyes, “I won’t fulfill your snoop.”
“Okay, then don’t blame me for being impatient!” Vivian got confused by what William just said.
She made a tentative inquiry, “William...”
“I heard you came to work today, William. You haven’t recovered yet. How could you...” Angie rushed in with a nifty voice.
The moment she came in, she took on a ghastly face when noticing Vivian there.
William turned around with displeasure. Alexander stood behind Angie full of apologies.
Angie tried to hold her breath. She simpered, “Why are you here... with William, Vivi?”
Vivian caught a glimpse of her. She found it hard to sympathize with Angie anymore for her genteel accent.
Vivian stood up, “You can dismiss the case now, if you still want to make a good impression on Roe as his Dad. I will allow you to visit him.”
“Take care, bye!” William sneered.
Vivian turned to leave angrily.
When she passed by Angie, she saw a full smile on her face, “Let’s hang out someday.”
Vivian didn’t respond at all.
“What was Vivi talking about? Are you engaging in a lawsuit, William?” Angie leaned forward and hugged his arm.
Alexander briefly hesitated. Then he left in a hurry, after having an eye contact with William by his warning signal.
Never mind, he had no control over his boss.
William pulled his arm free, “How do you find out I’m here?”
Angie froze by what he asked, “I... I went to the manor to look for you. The guards there mentioned about it. Why don’t you let me know, William?”
William smirked.
Those guards at home wouldn’t reveal his schedule as others.
What’s more, he came at last minute after taking the phone call. They wouldn’t know about where he went.
This seemed to imply that someone was tracking him, same as he kept Alan under surveillance?
By thinking of how treacherous Alan was, William didn’t expose Angie’s lie after a careful consideration.
Angie thought they get pass it. She twinkled at William with a soft voice, “Will you be available tomorrow? Dad wants to meet you.”
William’s eyebrows waggled.
He lightly nodded under Angie’s expectant stare, “Okay!”
By hearing that, Angie had a self-satisfied smirk on her face!
