"Ranita... I apologize... sincerely apologize... I..." Carl was completely caught off guard by Ranita's words.
Initially, Carl was hesitant, but Mia convinced him. Besides, he needed a significant amount of money to address some family matters. However, now he realized that he had gained a substantial sum of money but lost his most important partner!
"No need to discuss further, that's it!" Ranita hung up the phone and noticed the dark clouds outside. It seemed like rain was imminent.
"Ranita, it might rain later! You've been busy all day today. Why don't you go home early and rest?" Olivia paused and asked again, "Your ankle still hasn't fully healed yet. Let me take you home."
Ranita was indeed exhausted today.
Just as she finished packing her things, Caleb called her, informing her that she needed to return to Stuart's Corp because there was a video conference with Nemotube Company that she had to attend.
Olivia listened briefly and disagreed, "Ranita, do you really have to go back to Stuart's Corp now? Can't you take a leave?"
"It's alright. I can manage! You pack up and go home. I'll go there myself!" Ranita packed her things and left.
Unexpectedly, at the door, she encountered someone delivering something for her - a small package containing a jar of lemon candy with Steve's note attached on top.
Ranita casually put the lemon candy in her bag while texting Steve, "Can I call you?"
"Ranita!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
Caught off guard by Brendon's sudden appearance, Ranita immediately locked eyes with him.
Brendon?
"Hurry up and get in the car." Brendon slightly lifted his chin; his sharp jawline seemed chiseled, "What are you staring at?"
Wasn't Brendon supposed to be picking out a ring with Shannon? Why was he here?
