Roderick screamed inwardly. He didn't want to believe Kate had just said that.

Roderick quickly swallowed hard, confused about what to say. The first problem was that he hadn't even been able to reach Tony to prepare a simple place for him as his abode. Now, Kate had requested that they head to his place.

Secondly, he was confused about what response to give Kate concerning what she had to explain to him.

Of course, he knew what she was talking about. But his modesty and reserved nature led him to lie to her.

He didn't want to agree with her because he didn't want to have such an affair with Kate for a reason known only to him.

    Kate nodded slowly and said, "We don't have much to discuss. What was the outcome of the research you conducted concerning the land, Mr. Holmes?" the young lady asked politely.Roderick relaxed back in his seat and responded, "The results I found didn't show anything negative about the land. I advise that we should visit the auction to make a choice.""That's a good idea. We should get going now, as there are only a few minutes left before the auction begins," Kate advised. They wouldn't want to arrive late.Christina still wore a frown when Kate remembered something. "We now have a partnering company, and we should work hand in hand to make decisions that will help us achieve our goal for the project."Roderick nodded in agreement with her point.However, Christina was still trying to understand where her boss was heading until she heard her say, "Christie, reach out to the Santos Corporation to join us at Central Hall so we can make a choice together."This statement sounded unbelie
