Chapter 108 A Heavy Task I went to ATL Empire the following day.
However, I didn’t see Atlas, but Nick signed the contract with me instead.
He shook my hand and said, “We’re looking forward to working with you.” “Keep your projects coming, all right?” I said with a smile.
With the contract signing, I officially launched my company, Hartz Construction.
Although I had Urban Builders‘ support, I felt nervous about taking on such a massive project as my first.
However, I was thrilled because I could provide for myself and Ava.
Soon, the news spread throughout the industry, and everyone wondered who was behind Hartz Construction.
1 Asis stepped out of ATL Empire, I hesitantly called Atlas.
After all, I couldn’t have signed the contract without him.
The phone rang for a while before he answered huskily, “Yes?” He always spoke little and bossily, so I lost my mood to speak.
Suddenly, he grew anxious and asked, ” Chloe?” 1 “I–I…just wanted to tell you that I signed the contract with ATL Empire,” I tried to sound spirited, “I didn’t see you here, so I thought I should call you.” “You miss me, don’t you?” he asked tenderly.
Here we go again, I thought.
I cleared my throat and said, “Why aren’t you at the office today?” Although I couldn’t see his face, I became nervous and tried to change the subject.
“I’m in Astronia,” he said.
“Oh, when did you go abroad? When are you coming back?” I was surprised because he never told me he was going overseas.
No wonder I hadn’t seen him since we parted ways at the hospital.
“Do you miss me or not?” he asked.” “Why would I miss you? I just wanted to tell you that I signed the contract,” I tried to sound serious.
1-1 do, all right?” I said despite myself.
I knew I shouldn’t have said that, but he would ask me repeatedly if I didn’t.
“Got it.
Got to go now.” He hung up.
What the hell? How could he flirt with me and then hang up on me just like that? He didn’t even tell me when he was coming back! Suddenly, I realized I was looking forward to his return.
Now that I had signed the contract, I wondered how Matthew felt about it.
I knew he had nothing now.
However, I never expected him to bring my parents to the apartment the evening before the divorce trial.
