After ending the all, Louis asked his father worriedly. “Dad, what is Zachary doing? Does he not hate me? Why did he increase his investment instead of withdrawing?”
“I find it weird too.” Robert could not understand why. “Judging from his personality, he wouldn't have done this...”
Although the Zachary they knew would always seek revenge, he was repaying a grudge with favor now. Is there something wrong with him?
“Does Zachary want me to drown in self-guilt?” The more Louis thought about it, the more worried he became. “No, I must call him!”
“You can call him, but you must only talk about work. You mustn't mention any private matters at all.” Robert instructed him, “If he asks about the marriage, just give a yes or no answer. Don't say anything else, okay?”
“Why?” asked Louis
“Just follow my instructions!” Robert became impatient.
“Oh.” Louis immediately called Zachary. The phone rang for a while before the call was answered. A familiar voice sounded. “Hello?”
“Z-Zachary...” Louis became so nervous the moment he spoke that even his voice was trembling.
“What's up, Louis?”
On the other hand, Zachary seemed quite calm, as if nothing had happened between them at all. It was like they were still best friends like before.
“I-I just called Mr. Murphy and he said that you've increased your investment, right?”
Louis was stuttering like a little boy who had committed a mistake.
As Robert watched him from the side, his temper flared.
“Yeah,” replied Zachary. “It's your first project, so you must do a good job and prove yourself to the royal family!”
When Louis heard that, he was extremely touched. However, a wave of embarrassment surged through him too...
Meanwhile, Robert frowned. What is Zachary planning? Is he resorting to an appeasement tactic?
“They've told you already, right? We'll meet you at Pillere. You should quickly pick a date to kickstart the project.”
“I know. And you... “
