Back in Time to Fall for Him novel Chapter 101

Listening to Madison's tactful phrasing, Johnny sneered to himself.

Inappropriate? Please! Sam probably kicked her out of Goodwin Corp.

Still, Johnny kept that to himself and nodded, as if everything made sense. "Oh, I see. Then I guess it doesn't conflict."

As if.

Johnny would have to change his plans. He couldn't let Madison get into Quinn Group, so he had to act sooner than he had planned.

Johnny's gaze turned calculating for a second before he said, "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you to Quinn Group. I can walk you through everything while we're there."

Madison raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. She thought about it and decided to go along with it.

And just like that, they started eating, each with their own agenda.

…

Sam finally got the board to calm down and promised there would be no surprises during tomorrow's bidding. Only then did he finally get those shrewd veterans out of the room.

He went back to his office and glanced at Madison's desk without really thinking, but she wasn't there. For a moment, he spaced out.

Benjamin walked in after him. He hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "Mr. Goodwin, if we hadn't had a backup plan, the damage would've been huge, and we would've really pissed off the board members."

Sam didn't say anything, but his demeanor grew colder. His anger was unmistakable.

Benjamin felt it hit him in the chest and realized he had already crossed a line. But remembering what had happened, he forced himself to keep going. "Mr. Goodwin—"

Sam cut him off. "Where's Madison right now?"

Benjamin swallowed the rest of his words and pulled out his phone to call the bodyguard watching her.

A moment later, he received the report. "Ms. Quinn just finished eating with Johnny, and she's heading back to the office."

He looked up after relaying the news, worry written all over his face.

Sam's expression gave nothing away, but the hand on his thigh curled into a tight fist. His demeanor grew colder than ever.

Even so, Benjamin could still sense the sadness underneath it. He decided not to hold back any longer and speak his mind at last.

"Mr. Goodwin, I know that when you're a teenager, every crush and friend feels special. But people change. After everything you've been through, you know that better than I do.

"You've already given more than enough. Don't lose yourself over someone who doesn't deserve you."

Sam remained silent after hearing that. His chest tightened sharply, and he could barely breathe. Even his eyes burned.
