Chapter 99


    I managed toe up with a decent excuse for myself.


    Then, after we hung up, I looked at my hands.


    They were trembling


    My heart felt heavy too. as if it was being weighed down by something.


    I thought about the conversation I just had with Niki.


    It sounded as if Bruce had already made all the arrangements.


    And from my understanding of Bruce, he was a perfectionist in his nning. He might n something in advance, but he would never dy anything


    Perhaps he had already nned everything out a day ago.


    But he didn''t say anything about it. and Cindy didn''t mention anything either.


    Hence, there was only one possibility—they didn''t want me to be involved.


    At that thought, disappointment washed over me.


    But I forced myself to cheer up for the sake of the project''s future.


    To me, that was my right. I certainly could not give it up to someone else.


    So, I drove toward Roeval Group.


    Bruce didn''t seem too surprised to find out that I hade by. He spoke coldly over the phone and asked, "What brings you here, Ms. Fisher? Is


    there anything important?"


    I could hear the apprehension in his voice. Then. in a patient tone, I suggested, "Let''s talk face-to-face. I''m already on the ground floor of Roeval."


    Ten minutester, a receptionist escorted me to the president''s office.


    I pushed the door open and entered.


    Bruce was sitting at his office desk, approving some documents.


    He was wearing a pair of silver-framed sses, looking serious and focused


    Upon sensing that someone had entered his office, he said without looking up, "Postpone the board meeting to next Monday. I have other ns for


    tomorrow.”


    I was taken aback.


    I felt a lump in my throat, and all of a sudden, I was unable to speak.


    If I wasn''t mistaken, his n for tomorrow would be to apany Cindy to meet Camille.


    I couldn''t believe that he was rescheduling the board meeting because of this. He was postponing a meeting with the board of directors!


    But then again, as the president, his status and power was not like a normal person''s.


    Meanwhile, I remained standing at the same spot and didn''t respond


    Atst, Bruce realized that something was amiss. So, he gently pushed up his sses and looked up slightly.


    He looked toward me, and our eyes met.


    I could sense a hint of impatience in his eyes as he remarked, "That was fast."


    I clenched my fists and went straight to the point. "Do you have some time, Mr. Harold? There''s something that I wish to discuss with you.”


    Bruce was still going through his documents. "What is it?" he askedExclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mr. Niki told me that you''d already made arrangements to meet with Camille,” I exined.


    Upon saying this, I realized that I sounded quite casual.


    “But I haven''t heard any news about it,” I continued.


    Right after that, Bruce stopped what he was doing.


    He peered at me, and after pausing.


    for a fewSseconds, he said, . —


    Everything has already been ?


    arranged ordingly. So, I don''t


    have to trouble you, Ms. Fisher.”


    "Trouble me?" I repeated his words in a shaky voice. "Does that mean that you and Ms. Lane are the only people who will be meeting with Camille?"


    "That''s right." Bruce answered immediately, not a single sign of hesitation in his response


    He had just confirmed my spection.


    I wasn''t satisfied, so I stared at him,


    "But, why? I m the person in charge


    of the project. There''s no reason for


    yaurto leave me out of this heeting.’


    Upon hearing that, Bruce furrowed his brows slightly.


    A few secendster, he responded?.
