Samuel swiped to answer and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Bad news, Mr. Gilbert. Do you remember how last week, we made plans to sign the contract tomorrow? When I tried to follow up on it today, the other company suddenly turned hostile and said that they refuse to sign the contract!"
"What?" Samuel frowned. He had been keeping an eye on this project for a long time. How could such a thing happen when things were about to come to fruition?
Samuel asked, "What's the reason? Have you checked?"
"Yes, I did. It's because..." The assistant's voice trailed off. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "It's because Mr. Joseph was a step ahead of us. Mr. Joseph also added that he's not holding back because you're such a homewrecker."
Samuel choked.
At that point, he already understood everything.
It was obviously because Joseph had discovered his feelings for Lucille at the banquet, which was why Joseph was going so far as to give him a warning.
