Chapter 106 – Did they really have sex?
Just as she was thinking left and right, Nick’s phone rang and it was Declan.
Nick was supposed to attend that emergency meeting overseas, and now that he was stuck in the elevator he definitely won’t make it on time.
“Mr. Andrews, the information is ready. I’ve had the meeting delayed, so don’t be in a hurry, also I’ve been over to Daniel’s side and instructed him to tell her daughter not to do anything extra.”
Nick nodded, feeling a pang of annoyance at the thought of the woman telling his grandfather that she was trying to have a baby.
“Did you get the Department of Commerce to stop the project regarding Blackwell’s company?”
Victoria, standing next to her, stiffened.
She saw the obvious disgust in Nick’s eyes through the faint key lights in the elevator.
Finally, she knew why her father was suddenly like this. Probably because Declan said something, plus the company’s project was blocked, and he was so angry that he was sent to the resuscitation room.
As a daughter, she would worry about Daniel.
But the family business had declined over the years and really relied too much on Andrews Enterprise.
She had long advised Daniel not to go back to expansion or blind financing at this time.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the bigger the company the more vigilant you had to be in all aspects of the situation.
Blackwell’s company had long been left with little cash flow for several years, and if he had handled the projects at hand, cut out the useless ones and laid off the redundant employees, the company wouldn’t be struggling so much.
But in the face of those old employees who had followed him all the way to the present, Daniel really couldn’t lay off his staff.
So how could a company be good when most of the people at the top of the company today were people who just get paid and don’t do anything, and their management was long outdated?
Although Elizabeth’s words were very unpleasant, she was right to say that Daniel lacks the ability to manage the company.
If it was just a couple of tiny stores, someone like Daniel could really do a good job.
But once a company went public, all it needed was a more decisive hand, a more ruthless stance, and it was clear that Daniel possessed neither of those qualities.
He was just not willing to let what he had created eventually fade away, which was why he was going to go firmly for a second round of funding.
But it was overly dependent on Andrews Enterprise. Now that Nick had just let Andrews Enterprise intercept a small project, Daniel’s body was already so overwhelmed, what would happen to him if something happened to the company?
Victoria just felt a rush of anxiety.
In Daniel’s mind, the company was clearly the most important thing, and even her marriage could be sacrificed for the sake of the company.
She didn’t say anything, hearing that Nick had talked about business, the one involving her family, as if it were just something he’d casually mentioned.
Hanging up the phone, Nick glanced at her, feeling her breath even colder than before, and full of indifference.
Nick was a little puzzled, vaguely aware that he didn’t seem to be well liked by her, and such a realization made his chest tighten.
Simply his breath was colder as well, ignoring each other.
That was, until voices sounded outside, the arrival of rescue workers, interspersed with Aidan’s voice.
The elevator door opened a crack, and the light from outside instantly penetrated.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
And for some reason, the rescuer always felt that the moment the elevator opened this crack, the cold air inside almost froze his hands and feet.
What the hell was going on here?
And standing outside with Aidan was Lucas.
“Poppy, are you okay? The door will be open in a minute, take it easy.”
Lucas, knowing the relationship between the two of them, instead didn’t shy away from anything. His words were full of concern. And was still thinking of dating Victoria in the future.
But when he saw the two in the elevator. He was really a bit puzzled, they didn’t look familiar in the slightest. Have they really slept before?
