My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1089

Chapter 1089: Loss

Preston smiled friendly and looked at everyone present, saying: "Look at our Mr. Burris, he's easy to talk to. It's a blessing for all of us to work under such an agreeable executive!"

Preston's words sounded somewhat sarcastic and nobody dared to agree with him; they all lowered their heads and held their breaths.

On the other hand, Horace didn't seem bothered by it at all. He calmly glanced over at Preston before saying: "Manager Walker cares about my attitude and mood. I understand his concern but since we're in a meeting right now, can we discuss this later when it doesn't take up everyone else's time?"

Horace's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face for Preston who didn't even look back after Horace finished speaking before moving on with the main topic of the meeting.

The purpose of this meeting was mainly to address recent events that had occurred due to Armstrong family issues. Many projects related to Armstrong Corp were put on hold temporarily. Some companies which had been collaborating with them suspended the contract.

Therefore, Armstrong Corp was currently facing some difficulties. Brody made it worse by bringing Preston into the picture intentionally.

Since there is nothing that can be done about Preston being brought within Armstrong Corp now; Horace could not continue fighting Mr. Armstrong over this issue as it would only waste more time.

Horace stated the current situation of Armstrong Corp then looked towards Preston, asking: "Manager Walker, do you have anything else they'd like to add?"

Preston wasn't prepared for being called out suddenly, so he took two seconds before responding slowly: "Mr. Burris, I'm new here, so I don't know much about what has happened within Armstrong Corp yet. Therefore I'll follow Mr. Burris' arrangements, since these problems arose before my arrival here."

"Whatever you decide will have our full cooperation," added Preston while looking around at everyone present in an attempt not wanting anyone feeling left out or ignored during his response.

Preston intentionally said that everyone present should cooperate fully, just to make Horace sick. He wanted to tell Horace that his lack of ability had led to the current situation at Armstrong Corp.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavy, and everyone looked at each other without any response.

But Preston's attitude always conveyed a provocative meaning, especially his eyes seemed to say to Horace, "What can you do?"

Preston thought he had won because Horace didn't dare say anything more.

Horace's voice slowly sounded again in the next second, and Horace said, "Since Manager Walker also asked me to arrange, then Manager Walker will lead our company's project team to buy the interior decoration materials of the new Hance City Museum!"

He glanced at Preston with a plain expression without any extra emotion. He continued: "Manager Walker works for Mr. Simpson, so I think he is capable of handling this important task. I believe that after managing so many companies under the Walker Family and being responsible for projects related to museums before, Armstrong Corp will definitely be able to complete this project perfectly."

After Horace finished speaking, he did not give Preston a chance to speak but directly let his secretary announce the members of Project Team and pushed the list in front of Preston after taking attendance.

Horace said: "Manager Walker, thank you for your hard work."

Preston's face was gloomy; he did not speak but just looked at Horace indifferently. The two men stared at each other like this; naturally Horace was not afraid of him.

Instead, because he didn't speak up again when given an opportunity by Horrace , Horrace asked: "Manager Walker, do you have anything else they want to say? If not, then we can adjourn now. Later on please get familiar with your team members if needed or talk directly with my secretary if there are any needs."
