Chapter 857


    Liam stared at the phone screen, the words on it suddenly bing a bit blurry. He shook his head


    and replied, “Okay”


    Liam, why are you sitting here alone? Come over and let me introduce you to some friends.”


    The president of themerce club warmly beckoned him.


    Liam mustered his energy, held his ss, and went over


    The president introduced him to some businessmen who had just retumed from abroad and settled in J


    City this year. They were likely to have a lot of interactions


    in the future


    The president proudly introduced Liam to everyone


    Of course, even without his introduction, these people had already heard of Liam


    Quantums business territory had long expanded overseas. Many of the overseas coboration projects


    involved them. Quantum even recruited talent from abroad with high snes every year, making quiet


    a name among students studying abroad.


    Everyone was drinking, chatting, and exchanging pleasantries.


    Liams difort seemed to be getting worse. His nausea eased a bit, but he felt dizzy and weak, and


    a burning sensation inside him made him feel thirsty


    His condition was somewhat abnormal.


    Struggling, he told the president, “I need to step out for a bit


    As he left, he dialed Owen’s number But before he could make the call, someone bumped on his arm,


    and the phone flew out of his hand into an ice bucket on the ground


    Most of the ice in the bucket had melted, and the phone was soaked in water


    The waiter who bumped him apologized hastily


    Liam frowned He pushed the waiter away, walked to the ice bucket, and picked up the phone


    The phone screen turned ck from the water damage and he could no longer make a call


    All Liam felt was his head spinning and splitting with pain.


    “Mr Reed?”


    A female voice came from above.


    Liam looked up, seemingly in a daze


    Meanwhile, Celeste, after seeing Liams “Okay” reply, started to worry. After a while, the sent him


    another message, “Where are you guys? Do you want me to pick you up?”


    Liam didn’t reply to her

    Celeste frowned. For some reason, she was womed


    So she texted Owen, “Owen, Liam seems a bit unwell. He’s not replying to my texts. Could you check


    on him?”


    Owen quickly replied, “Madam, I’m not in J City night now Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to check on


    him. I will contact you once I get in touch with him.”


    Celeste let out a sigh of relief and replied, “Thanks”


    After getting out of the car Celeste unexpectedly ran into Mason in the elevator


    Mason was with a middle–aged bald man. He was fat and seemed somewhat familiar


    She didn’t notice that Naomis expression changed when she saw the man


    “Celeste, what are you doing here?”


    Mason was clearly happy to see Celeste


    Celeste smiled and said, “Our crew had a gathering so we came over to hang out. What about you?


    Are you here to talk about work again?


    Mason nodded, and said gently. “I originally wanted to contact you these couple of days, but I didn’t


    expect to run into you, Mason said, “When you guys finish, can we have a chat?”


    Celeste was slightly stunned. “Chat about what?”


    Mason chuckled, looking down, “Let’s talk about why you skipped asking me for advice and went


    straight to ourpany’s internwyer”
