The Stolen Life- My Mother Gave My Fiancé to Her Favorite Student novel Chapter 130

A short silence fell on the other end. Even Chandler Mayer, known in tech circles as the Ice Cold Tycoon. could barely hide his excitement.

“Maya, you won’t regret this. I’ll make sure this decision becomes the best you’ve ever made The East Pacific Group is holding a bidding session tomorrow. With your technical expertise, we’ve got this in the bag!”

I’d barely agreed when the phone was suddenly snatched from my hand.

I turned and stared into the icy eyes of Thomas. Behind him stood a crowd of employees, watching with obvious satisfaction.

At the sight of my tear–reddened eyes, a flicker of emotion finally crossed Thomas’s face. He sighed softly.
