The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost (Sarah and Alexander) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 160 

After dinner, on their way home, Rex thought about calling Reed Hardín. 

But what surprised him was that Reed called him first and got straight to the point. “How’s the cooperation with Cole going?” 

Rex: “.. ” 

He replied honestly, “It didn’t go through. I was about to ask you for help.” 

“What do you mean?” 

Rex explained, “I offended one of Cole’s technical staff, and Johnny is involved because of her-” 

Reed cut him off. “What’s the name of that technical staff?” 

Rex paused, a little surprised that Reed would ask this, but still instinctively replied, 

“Maggie.” 

Reed: “” 

He took a deep breath and then chuckled. “So, you haven’t even finalized the cooperation, 

and you’ve already offended their core technical staff. You’re something else.” 

Rex was about to explain that Maggie wasn’t exactly a core technical staff member–just 

someone with an ambiguous relationship with Johnny. However, Reed didn’t give him the chance. 

He said, “I can help with this.” 

Rex immediately responded, “Thank you, old man!” 

“… Shameless.” 

“When will you be taking a break?” 

Rex didn’t feel embarrassed at all about asking his father for help. He believed he could have secured the Cole project on his own with his strength, but personal grudges had gotten 

in the way. 

He didn’t care about this personal grudge. Since he could use the quickest way to bypass it, 

why not take that route? 

Reed replied, “I was thinking of taking a break soon, but now I don’t think I need to. I’m afraid I’ll lose years off my life if I go back and see you.” 

After that, Reed hung up. 

As for Maggie, he didn’t want to bring her up. After all, when life goes too smoothly for someone, it’s not always a good thing. 

After hanging up, Reed dialed Maggie’s number. 

Maggie, glancing away from her computer, saw the incoming call and answered. “Uncle Hardin?” 

Reed smiled, “You’re smart, so you must have guessed why I’m calling.” 

Maggie: “Mm.” 

Although Maggie had already guessed his intentions, Reed still asked, “Can you agree to the cooperation with Rex? Consider it a favor from your uncle, alright?” 

Business is business. 

In fact, as long as both parties show enough sincerity, even enemies can cooperate. And Maggie and Rex weren’t enemies in the true sense. 

However, in this case, Maggie wasn’t in the wrong, and she wasn’t willing to compromise easily. 

Now that Reed had spoken, she was willing to give him this favor. 

But… 

At that moment, Reed spoke gently, “Take your time, Mag. No rush. You can think it over and respond when you’re ready.”
