My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090: Correction

Horace stared at Preston without any expression, his eyes seemed to reveal a cold and skeptical attitude. His tone was like an interrogation, which made Preston's face feel as if it had been slapped hard.

So for a moment, Preston fell silent. While he was quiet, Horace spoke again: "Is this what Manager Walker meant? If Manager Walker thinks that I am deliberately making things difficult for you by arranging work for you, then I think Manager Walker should talk to Mr. Armstrong and let her give you the position of chairman directly. This way, you won't need any work and can still receive regular dividends. How does Manager Walker feel about that?"

If the previous words were just a slap in the face for Preston, then Horace's words now were like slapping him hard in the face.

Preston kept his cool and stared at Horace with unblinking eyes. He asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by that?"

"Is it because my expression wasn't clear enough or because Manager Walker has poor understanding ability?" Horace remained indifferent without any extra expressions on his face as he looked at Preston coldly. He said: "If even Manager Walker can't understand what I'm saying, then I think he should learn more from Mr. Armstrong since he arranged for you to come to the company on behalf of him. You know how much Mr. Armstrong values his reputation."

Horace didn't give an inch of respect to Preston; however luckily there were only two people present in the office right now - Horace and Preston - otherwise if this happened during a meeting where other people are present too... well let's just say that tomorrow would be very embarrassing day for Preston.

Preston must have been furious inside but couldn't do anything about it except stare back at Horace with resentment.

Taking a deep breath silently, Preston said:"Mr. Burris, you know very well that I am working under Mr. Armstrong's supervision. So when speaking these words, didn't they also disrespect him? Besides, did Mr. Burris hear me say anything negative about this project? I just wanted clarification. What makes Mr. Burris think someone who has only recently joined Armstrong Corp is suitable enough to handle such an important project? Are we really thinking about what's best for Armstrong Corp?"

Horace laughed out loud after hearing all of this from Preston.

He stood up from his office chair, his deep eyes staring down at Preston. His voice was cold as he asked, "So you aren't trustworthy? Then why did Mr. Armstrong arrange for you to come here? I only trust Manager Walker because I respect Mr. Armstrong's decision. Are you telling me not to trust you?"

Preston had no response.

Horace continued, "Instead of questioning me here, why don't you learn about the museum project? It's the first project since you entered Armstrong Corp. We hope that Manager Walker will succeed and not disappoint Mr. Armstrong and all of us who trust and expect great things from you!"

Preston didn't know how he left Horace's office. He only knew that every word Horace said was meant to hurt him.

Naturally, Preston couldn't swallow this insult. After leaving Armstrong Corp., he drove alone to the apartment arranged by Brody for him. Although it wasn't in a bustling area and the facilities were simple compared to his previous hotel accommodations, it was much better overall.

After returning to the apartment, Preston immediately made a phone call: "Come over right away."

He gave the address and reminded to bring dinner when came over.

During their wait time, Preston had enough free time to make another phone call - this time it was Eileen on the other end of the line.

He explained his current situation and said: "I need your help."

Eileen didn't understand what he wanted her help with: "What do you want me to do?"

Preston replied calmly: "You know who Horace is right? He now runs Armstrong Corp., but he's really annoying. If it weren't for his potential against Ayan, I wouldn't have any contact with someone like him."
