Jordan narrowed his eyes. "Really?"
I nodded. "I have absolutely no knowledge o f what Lally said to Shannon last night."
Jordan's countenance sank, and his gaze gradually grew unkind when he looked at m e.
I silently cursed myself for being an idiot for mentioning the wrong thing.
It seemed like I should express concern for his body instead, so I asked carefully, "A-Are you doing okay now, Mr. Fredericks?"
Jordan frowned slightly. "What do you mean if I'm doing okay?" 'Your body," I blurted out, just short of asking him if he had gone to the doctor and if it was a serious case.
He looked at me with indifferent eyes and asked coldly, "Why would my body not be okay?"
I had no way to continue asking if he decided to play dumb.
I awkwardly smiled. "You have a healthy body. You've always been healthy."
I planned to retreat after Jordan signed the papers I brought.
Jordan put down his pen and looked up at me, saying, "The guys from Grant
Corporation will come over for a meeting later. You’re the person in charge of this project and have to attend this meeting. Don't be late."
I nodded. "Okay, Mr. Fredericks. I understand."
"You can leave now."
Shannon yawned. "I didn't sleep well last night and am dead tired. I'll talk to you later. I'm taking a nap. We'll talk after I wake up."
She hung up after saying that.
I looked at the phone and let out a long sigh. "Are these two even trustable at all?”
I did not worry much about their relationship problems because my own relationship was a mess, so it made me less concerned about other people's relationships.
When I returned to the office, Lally sent me a file for the meeting later and reminded m e. "This will be our first meeting with Grant Corporation. It's especially important. Keep your chin up and don't make a blunder."
I nodded. "Don’t worry about it."
Since I had taken over this project, I must keep my chin up and do a good job.
