Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1961

Mr. Peralta and Ms. Malone left Pierre’s office together.

Ms. Malone could not help but tremble at the thought of Pierre’s expression when he warned them, then she looked at Mr. Peralta worriedly. She said, “Mr. Peralta, is it really alright for us to do such a thing?”

They had stolen T Corporation's bidding document…

Pierre would save himself if Luke investigated this matter. He would pass the buck to the two of them. Then, they would have to bear the responsibility for everything. They were the ones who would be in deep trouble.

Mr. Peralta looked miserable too, and he replied, “I’m not sure either. If Luke sees the bidding document when it’s released to the public, I’m afraid he’ll find a way to deal with our company. Mr. Mallory might shift the blame to us to protect himself.”

Mr. Peralta had already thought of that when he was doing this.

However, what else could he do even if he knew it?

As Pierre’s subordinate, he had no choice but to accept his boss’ arrangement. Besides, he had already read the bidding document. Would Pierre let him get away with it?

He only became in charge of the company after working for Pierre for many years. Another assistant was responsible for some top-secret information about the company.

However, he could still find out certain things.

Pierre’s company appeared to be legal, but the company had been secretly making deals in gray areas.

That was why Mr. Peralta dared not to say anything even though he knew amending the bidding document and making it their own was wrong. He was left with no choice as he had read the bidding document before, so he could only drag Ms. Malone into this.

“I feel like quitting…” Ms. Malone frowned, putting on a long face.

Mr. Peralta reminded her, “Do you think you can quit the job as you wish? You’ll have to wait until this is over. Otherwise, Mr. Mallory won’t let you go that easily.”

“Then when will this end?” Ms. Malone could not imagine how she was going to spend her days worrying about this when she heard that she was not allowed to quit yet. She realized that the worst decision she had ever made was to work here.

“It’s hard to tell. This will end if our company doesn’t get chosen for the project and our actions aren’t discovered by T Corporation. The contents of the bidding document will be published if our company wins the bid. If that’s the case, this won’t end until the project finishes,” said Mr. Peralta.

“This is ridiculous!” Ms. Malone looked at Mr. Peralta helplessly when she realized that she could not get herself away from this.

Mr. Peralta started feeling unsure when he saw the look on Ms. Malone’s face. He was worried that Luke would come looking for trouble. The rest of the matters were nothing to him.

After all, large companies like T Corporation would always keep a few tricks up their sleeves. They would probably have evidence to prove that it was them who stole the bidding document when the time came…

“We don’t have a choice. Let’s just do our parts.” Mr. Peralta patted Ms. Malone’s shoulder and walked back to his office.

Pierre told them that they were allowed to go back home early, but Mr. Peralta was not planning to do so. After all, Mr. Mallory’s mood changed quickly. How would he dare to get off work early?

The phone in Mr. Peralta’s office rang when he had just sat down on his chair.

Mr. Peralta pressed the answer button.

It was a call from the company’s receptionist. “Mr. Peralta, a man named Mr. Abel would like to meet Mr. Mallory, but he didn’t make any appointments with him. Can you please help me to ask him?”

“No appointment? Just tell him Mr. Mallory is busy.” Mr. Peralta did not take it seriously. Many people would like to meet Mr. Mallory, so Pierre would not usually meet anyone if they did not have an appointment.

Pierre was proud and arrogant. Even though he only owned a small company, he still gave others attitude.

The receptionist replied, “I told him that too, but he said we should tell Mr. Mallory his name. Mr. Mallory would certainly see him.”

“Wait a minute.” Mr. Peralta hung up the receptionist’s call and called Pierre’s office extension.”

It was the first time he had encountered such a matter. To be safe, he planned to tell Pierre about it.

“Yes?” Pierre picked up the call.
