Lucas looked awkwardly at Nash.


    “You go do your thing. I just came to see if the Business Department can function without Justin,” Nash


    replied nonchntly.


    20 minutes ago, he received a call from Hera. rke from Innovate Collective was boasting at a smart


    technology exhibition that he would be signing a contract with Universal Group in the afternoon.


    He even openly ridiculed Lauren and Harrison. Nash could not tolerate this, so he came to the


    Business Department to intervene. He intended to disrupt the cooperation between Universal Group


    and


    Innovate Collective.


    Dressed in a suit, rke walked into the office. When he saw Nash, a smile appeared on his face. “Oh,


    why if it isn’t Hera’s husband? What’s this? You think you can handle it when Hera can’t?”


    He thought Nash was here to help Hera with the business negotiation. Unfortunately, Universal Group


    had already agreed to cooperate with Innovate Collective and decided to sign the contract in


    the afternoon.


    Lucas looked at Nash awkwardly. “Mr. Calcraft, do you two know


    each other?”


    Nash shook his head. “I’m not interested in knowing someone like


    him.”


    rke’s eyes turned cold. “Who are you calling ‘someone like him”?”


    Nash grinned. “Sorry, I misspoke!”


    rke was taken aback. Nash’s sudden apology caught him off


    guard since he had cussed him out back then. However, Nash’s next


    words filled him with anger.


    “You’re just a kept man!”


    “You! Aren’t you also a kept man? Would you be able to afford to wear such nice suits if not Hera?”


    rke blurted out, his face flushing.


    “rke, please show some respect to Mr. Calcraft!” Lucas’ expression


    turned serious.


    rke snorted coldly. “Out of respect for you, Mr. Welsh, I won’t argue


    with you today!”


    Then, he turned to Lucas with a ttering smile. “Mr. Welsh, the


    contract is ready. We can start the signing now!”


    Lucas replied calmly, “I’ve changed my mind. I’ve decided to sign with


    Baroque.”


    The smile on rke’s face froze instantly. “Mr. Welsh, please don’t


    joke around. My heart can’t take it!”


    “Do I look like I’m joking to you?” Lucas said indifferently.


    “But… But… Didn’t we already agree on everything?” rke’s lips


    trembled. If he failed to secure this project, the president would


    definitely be disappointed in him. Where would he get the money to


    maintain his Ferrari?


    “Until the contract is signed, I can change my mind however I want!”

    When he saw the screensaver on Nash’s phone just now, he already knew Nash’s intention foring.


    Even that seemingly casual rm had been set up by Nash in advance. Nash wanted to let Lucas


    know that the president of Baroque was in a rtionship with him.


    If Lucas could not handle even this, then he might as well give up his


    position.


    “Mr. Welsh, you-”


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “Leave!”


    “Universal Group is going back on their word. Aren’t you afraid of damaging your reputation?” rke


    said angrily.


    Lucas pped rke across the face. “I’ve been civil enough with


    you, haven’t I? How dare you go against Universal Group?”


    rke held his face and red at Nash resentfully as if ming Nash


    for it.


    Lucas pped rke again.


    rke eximed in anger, “Why did you hit me again?”


    He felt so wronged. He got hit when he spoke and got hit when he was silent. Even though Lucas was


    a high-ranking employee of Universal Group, that did not mean Lucas could just simply smack


    him!


    “This is Mr. Calcraft, our director. How dare you re at him?” Lucas


    said calmly.


    Director? When did Nash be the director of Universal Group?


    rke’s eyes widened in disbelief.
