Chapter 878
Atlas looked at my stubborn expression and finally replaced it with a smile, affectionately saying, “You get to decide. I’ll respect your decisions.”
“Well, it depends on the nature of the matter. If I make a mistake, you should still make things clear to me. I’m not unreasonable, and I don’t want you to just indulge me. What if my decision turns out to be wrong?”
He teased, “You realize I do indulge you, right?”
I gave him a stern look, “I’m being serious, Atlas. Stop fooling around. I’m not blind to your kindness.”
He immediately dropped the playful expression, adopting a serious tone, but there was still a hint of indulgence in his eyes. “Your opinion is always right. Even if it’s wrong, we’ll go along with it. We can always start over.”
“But some things can’t be started over,” I stubbornly insisted.
He smiled and hugged me, saying tenderly, “You’re so smart. You’re always thinking about the bigger picture and striving for good. What harm can come from a little mistake?”
I rolled my eyes and couldn’t help but say, “You’re right. I’m practically a beacon of justice.”
“That’s true. I’ve seen you grow up since you were little,” Atlas said proudly.
I retorted, “You’re younger than me. Let’s be realistic here.”
“Am I younger?” he asked with a mischievous grin, leaning down. I quickly laughed and evaded him.
Suddenly, I realized that the car had arrived at my company for a while, and I hadn’t even noticed.
He gently touched my face, saying tenderly, “You go upstairs. I’ll pick you up after work. We’ll go home early today to spend time with Ava.”
“Okay!” I smiled knowingly and took the initiative to peck him on the lips. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, I quickly opened the car door and got out. “I’ll head upstairs now.” He looked at me, rolling his eyes fondly.
As soon as I got out of the car, Johnson called. I quickly answered, “Hello, Johnson.”
“Chlo! Things are getting chaotic over here. Some people are asking me what’s going on in the company. Looks like they’ve come to their senses.”
After contemplating, I spoke in a low voice, “Tell them to go find Liora. She’s in the hospital with a broken wrist.”
When Johnson heard what I said, he immediately understood my intention. “Got it!”
I added, “Keegan has given up.”
“Okay, I got it!” Johnson chuckled and hung up the phone.
When I returned to the office, Eleanor was explaining something to Carol.
When she saw me, she smiled and said, “You’re just in time, Ms. Chloe. Some representatives from Tobshampton Group have arrived in Foswood, and they want to meet
you. They…”
I remained silent and returned to my office, and Eleanor followed. I gestured for her to sit at my desk, and as I sat down, I looked at her, saying, “Tell me what you think.”
After all, Eleanor used to be Tobshampton Group’s marketing manager. She knew more about Tobshampton Group than I did.
We had stopped working with
Tobshampton Group because of Liora’s interference. Since they were sending Representatives to us now, they must have found out about Ardora’s current status and wanted to cozy up to Tanum. I felt a little disdainful.
Eleanor sat down, thought for a moment, then looked at me, “I don’t think it’s worth it. After all, Tobshampton Group is no longer the Tobshampton Group of old.”
I was pleased when I heard Eleanor’s words.
After she finished speaking, she
smiled wryly. “I’m sure you know about my background with Tobshampton Group. The boss called me himself and hoped I could mediate and restore the cooperation between Tobshampton Group and Tanum. But I don’t think that’s necessary. I’m not holding a grudge, of course. I’m just saying it’s not worth it.”
I appreciated Eleanor’s straightforwardness. There was no beating around the bush. This made me feel even more reassured.
