Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2032

Pierre looked at him speak confidently and fell silent for a while.

Abel gestured toward Haller. “Hand it over.”

Haller took out a phone and a card from his pocket, placing them in Abel’s hand.

Abel tossed the things in his hand onto the coffee table and stood up. “This is how you’ll contact me. After you’ve given it some thought, just dial this number on this phone and you’ll be able to reach me.”

After finishing, he left with Haller.

The door of the suite opened and closed again. Pierre slowly shifted his gaze toward the door. If he had insisted on getting the money back today, his brain would have been blown out by now.

He slowly picked up the phone and card on the coffee table.

The number printed on the card did not resemble a phone number. Pierre counted the numbers, there were a total of 22 digits. They said it was a number, but they might as well call it a scrambled code.

He turned on the phone. This ordinary phone model was available on the market, but there was nothing else on the screen except for the interface to dial numbers.

Not even the basic phone settings were seen.

Pierre could confirm that though this phone might look ordinary, it was actually far from it.

He put the phone aside.

He had not made up his mind on whether to contact Abel for help as he had already spent a lump sum of money. Although he never expected the bidding document to get him the project, seeing the project fall into Luke’s hands filled him with jealousy.

Pierre kept the phone and card in the drawer. He wanted to deal with Luke, but he still had to give it some consideration.

After all, Abel had provided him with useful information. Luke had connections here too.

He wanted to investigate further.

The phone he set aside rang, and he picked it up impatiently. It was Mr. Peralta.

He answered irritatedly, “What is it?”

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Peralta asked nonchalantly, “Boss, when are we returning?”

“What’s the rush?” Pierre asked coldly. He would not leave until he had decided whether to deal with Luke.

Mr. Peralta could sense from Abel’s tone of voice that he was in a bad mood. He held his breath and bit the bullet as he reported, “Boss, there are some matters back at the company that you need to take care of personally…”

He did not want to disturb Pierre, but after Percy called, it not only put pressure on him but the company as well.

If Pierre refused to return, things would not turn out great.

“I still have some things to deal with here. You head back first.” Pierre impatiently drove him away.

There was no point in keeping Mr. Peralta by his side. Firstly, he could not help him negotiate. Secondly, he could not protect him. He should not have brought him here in the first place. If he had brought two bodyguards instead, perhaps he would not have had to suffer Abel’s threats.

“But the company—”

Pierre impatiently cut him off, “Who’s the boss here?”

Mr. Peralta sighed internally. Working was hard, but even more so when working for Pierre. “You are…” Mr. Peralta said embarrassedly.

“Yet you’re questioning my decision?” Pierre’s words were aggressive and unreasonable.

Mr. Peralta braced himself and said, “I would never. In that case, I’ll return first. Let me know when you want to go back, Boss. I’ll book a flight for you.”

Pierre hung up the phone without giving him a reply.

Mr. Peralta sulked in his hotel room. Their bidding document did not even get chosen. He had no idea why Pierre wanted to stay.

To throw a celebration for Luke?
