My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball novel Chapter 1732

The clock struck half-past ten, and there was still no news from Byron. Xander grew even more restless.

Could it be possible that they had truly developed the antidote?

For a moment, Xander began to doubt himself.

Just as he felt a wave of shock, his phone on the desk suddenly rang.

His expression slightly stiffened as he turned to glance at the caller ID.

When he saw Byron's name on the phone screen, a relieved smile spread across his face as he coldly muttered, "Better late than never."

However, instead of immediately answering the call, he leisurely strolled around the office with his hands behind his back before finally coming to a stop by the window.

He gazed out at the cityscape that overlooked the entire seaside town, while the ringing of his phone echoed from behind him. Xander felt a sense of tranquility washing over him.

"Mr. Lancer, it's a call from President Lawrence. Aren't you going to answer?" the assistant cautiously inquired, unable to comprehend the situation.

After all, their boss had been eagerly waiting for this call all night long.

Now that it had finally come, he seemed reluctant to answer it...

Xander could not help but turn around and glare at him. "What a fool. He must be desperate if he's calling at this hour. Let him fret a bit longer. What's the harm of doing that?"

How dare Byron trick him?!

Xander was determined to let him have a taste of despair.

He continued to wait until the call automatically ended.

The assistant cautiously lifted his gaze to observe the expression on his boss' face.

He noticed a faint sense of hesitation on Xander’s face from the reflection in the window.

Xander was not sure if Byron would call again.
