CHAPTER 121
“I’m sorry for being late,” Caleb rushed in and put his hands on the shoulders of both ladies. “I was admiring the buildings on my way here, so please forgive me.”Faye and Rita felt that he was totally giving an excuse, which wasn’t a good start.“What did you like about the buildings?” Russell asked. His voice was calm, but his gaze was stable. He was keenly observing Caleb.Rita and Faye thought that Caleb just dug himself a pit.“A lot of things,” Caleb said, walking toward the window. “This whole place is like a sweet shop where every sweet tastes fine on the tongue. You love it so much you want to know the recipe. But it’s not easy to decipher. The material used to build the skybridges for instance… it’s mixed with metal and bird bone, right?”“Bird bone?” Faye and Rita thought he was speaking nonsense.But Russell didn’t deny it.Russell looked at the girls and said, “Can I talk with him in private for a minute?”“O-Of course,” Faye and Rita quickly left the room.Caleb sat dow
CHAPTER 122
“If your reason isn’t satisfying, I will send you home without any deal.”Caleb took in a deep breath. “I’ll be honest, Mr. Russell. It’s been over five years since Creed Zone was built, and you have not expanded it horizontally even by a millimeter, right? You’ve only gone sky-way when you could have easily bought more land and expanded this place.“I liked how you stuck to this piece of land and did not trouble anybody living next to it. It’s not possible without having strong ethics. That’s why I wanted to sell my product to you. Of course, your tech is also quite advanced, so I thought you’d better understand my product.”“Many people have wanted me to expand,” Russell said, “even my grandfather. But my mother told me to have a friendly relationship with my neighbors and to show my creed with my actions. You’re the first outsider who noticed that and spoke positively about it.”“So, do we have a deal?” Caleb asked expectantly.Russell smiled and stood before putting his hand forwa

A few minutes earlier.Faye and Rita walked out of Russell’s room.“You thought too much,” Faye said. “He wasn’t going to get revenge for the past. You’ve got it completely wrong.”“I know, but the situation made me think like that,” Rita was also upset with herself. “I knew he wasn’t going to betray us, but I still got nervous because my reputation was on the line.”Faye couldn’t blame her. “You quit being the CEO of your dad’s company, so succeeding in this deal with Russell will be a big boost to your resume. Are you sure you want to stay out while Caleb is talking?”“Caleb isn’t greedy, so I think he will successfully make the deal.”Her sudden rise of confidence in Caleb made Faye chuckle.“Money can change a person, so I hope Caleb won’t act arrogantly in front of Russell,” Faye said. “That guy is the richest in the world. If he wants, he can utterly crush us and our families with ease. Even if we fail to get the deal, we don’t want to make him our enemy.”Rita didn’t disagree.
CHAPTER 124
“There’s no chance for us to get back together,” Caleb said, not with a firm voice but with enough depth to convey his feelings.Rita’s countenance fell.Caleb started to walk away.Faye walked with him, already talking about the plans for the dinner that night.Rita clenched the mobile tightly. Seeing them enter the elevator, she rushed in and joined them before the door closed.“I thought you’d take a while to recover,” Faye said openly.“I’m not as deluded as someone thought I was,” she retorted calmly but coldly. “I definitely wasn’t expecting anyone to propose to me. As for why I didn’t question my father, it’s because I know that there’s no point in questioning someone who would never accept his mistake in this case. He’s fully against our relationship, so you’re the stupid one for expecting me to question my father.”Caleb frowned.“Also, I didn’t even know that my dad was oppressing you at the company until recently,” Rita said. “But I still do not feel that I made the wrong c
