Chapter 2180
Nicole answered the phone, "Lulu? What's the matter?’ "Nicole, I thought our meeting with Sky Corporation regarding Al development went well. They phoned me just now, saying that they’re backing out of the deal, so I've decided to call you to tell you about this." Lulu anxiously stated.
Nicole’s eyes narrowed, her expression turning cold. 'They're not going to sign the contract with us?’
Unconsciously, Nicole turned to look at Jared. 'Why are things not going our way? Could someone be plotting against us?'
"Okay, I got it," Nicole finished, hanging up as she bit her lip.
Then, she pocketed her phone, fuarrowed her eyebrows, and thought, 'Something definitely smells fishy.'
Soon, the car came to a halt, with Jared turning over to look at Nicole. "If there's anything you need, you can call me."
Though Nicole was unsure of what exactly went wrong, she could sense that there was inevitable trouble heading her way.
With that, she gave Jared a faint smile. "I can handle it."
'He has his fair share of problems to deal with, I better solve my own problems myself,' she thought to herself.
Nicole pushed the door open and got out of the car. Nicole only walked into the office after she had seen his car speeding away.
In the car, Jared's eyes darkened, as his voice became low and gravelly. "Is there any progress?"
"The planning department was working overtime last night, and they had come up with the most appropriate solution," Max replied in a low voice.
"Well, let us just settle the problems from the project first." Jared's eyes narrowed, 'This has been dealt with, and now, there are other pressing matters I need to look into.’
Things were indeed happening a little too fast for Jared to wrap his head around them, 'I guess all we can do now is to solve it. As for the other things, we can put them on the back burner for now.'
In the midst of the mess, Jared was clear about the notion that the things happening recently were not as simple as it seemed. 'The data crisis must've had some minor error that was overlooked. I must see to that matter for myself.'
