“Yeah.” Robert reminded him solemnly, “For this period of time, don't interact with him. Minimize any communication with him and let someone else handle the project.”
Actually, the reason why Robert said that was not to help Louis avoid any embarrassment. Instead, he wanted Louis to keep his distance from Zachary.
In that case, even if a conflict arose between the Nacht family and the Lindberg family, their family would not be affected.
“That's not really appropriate, right?” Louis still felt worried. “Even if we stopped interacting as much, I still need to be held accountable to him for the project.”
“What's there to be accountable for?” Robert disagreed. “He's calling for a shareholder meeting, so I'm afraid that he's going to withdraw.”
“If he really withdraws, the project is doomed.” Louis frowned. “I've never accomplished anything in the past. I spent so much effort on the project because I want to prove myself. If the project ends up in a failure halfway, I'd be a complete joke.”
“In the past, I would be really worried. However, things are different now. You're going to be married to Charlotte soon! With the powerful Lindberg Corporation backing you up, there's no need for you to fear the Nacht family.”
Robert continued confidently, “Mr. Lindberg has always disliked Zachary. If he knows that Zachary has withdrawn from the project, he'll definitely be willing to chip in.”
“But...”
“Alright, stop entertaining those irrelevant thoughts.” Robert patted Louis' shoulder. “The Nacht family and the Lindberg family are rivals. Since you're going to become Danrique's brother-in-law, you should keep your distance from Zachary.”
With a heavy heart, Louis lowered his head in silence.
“You're so melodramatic and indecisive, you know?” Robert hated it when he acted like that. “Don't you understand the situation now? You haven't let Zachary down! He's the one who betrayed you by calling for a private meeting with the shareholders to overthrow you...”
“Dad...” Just when Louis was about to speak, his phone rang. After seeing that it was a call from Theo, he quickly picked it up, “Hello, Mr. Murphy.”
Robert snatched his phone away and put it in speaker mode.
“Louis, I've already informed the other shareholders about your good news! Everyone's really happy for you. Listen!”
Immediately after Theo spoke, the voices of the other shareholders sounded from the phone. All of them were congratulating Louis and urging him to inform them what the wedding date was. No matter how busy they were, they would definitely attend it.
