Chapter 392 Sabotage
A while later, Jeremiah interrupted everyone’s train of thoughts. “It’s a perfect proposal, but I need time to
consider.”
Timothy would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed, but he was prepared for it. After all,
agreements weren’t reached in one day. “Do give it some consideration. We’ll be leaving now, Mr. Linus.”
He got up and said goodbye.
Henry got up as well. Jeremiah didn’t stop them. He saw them off, and after the door was closed, he
commented, “They’re so much better than us when we were their age.”
Hayley noticed the look of acknowledgement on his face, and she frowned. “Do you think he’s that
great?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes. He has a bright future ahead of him.” Jeremiah didn’t deny it. The only reason he didn’t agree was
because agreements were reached over sessions of negotiations, not just a single one.
Hayley’s frown deepened. Her eyes glinted with cunning, then she looked at Jeremiah and pretended to
hesitate.
Jeremiah noticed that, and he asked, “Do you have something to say, Hayley?”
Hayley waited for a few moments and pretended like she had resolved herself, then she said, “If it’s okay
with you, I’d like it if you don’t work with him.”
“Why?”
“He’s not as good as he looks…”
Timothy had no idea Hayley was sabotaging him. After he and Henry went back, they waited for
Jeremiah’s news, but two days had passed without anything happening.
Just when Timothy was wondering if he should contact Jeremiah, someone flung his office door open.
“Timothy, this guy has gone too far. He signed a deal with someone else not long after we left that night.”
Henry went up to him angrily and told him about the news. Of course he was furious. They had spent a
lot of time and effort just to get this deal.
Timothy was surprised, but he was calmer than his friend. He advised, “Nothing to get mad about. That’s
the thing about business. They can work with us, but they can work with someone else too. We haven’t
reached an agreement after all, so don’t dwell on it. It’s not worth it.”
Henry knew he had a point, but he was still angry about it.
Timothy let him be and went back to work. Nicholas called him over for dinner a while later, and he went
to Dynasty Gardens after work.
Gregory welcomed him happily, “Mr. Timothy!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTimothy patted his head and smiled. “It’s been a while, Greg.”
Nicholas came down from his study. He was in casual attire, and he looked languid, elegant, but not
arrogant. In fact, he was more down to earth.
Tessa got herself a good man. “Hi, Nick.”
Nick nodded at him, and he told Gregory, “Take him to the dining room.”
“Come with me, Mr. Timothy.” Gregory took him to the dining room and sat down.
Nicholas and Timothy talked about work over dinner. “I heard you guys were going to work with
Jeremiah. Why did that fail?”
Timothy paused for a moment. He didn’t expect Nicholas to find out about that, much less ask, but he
smiled nonchalantly. “Maybe he doesn’t think my company is old enough to handle this.”
“Your company might be new, but it has a great future ahead of it. As long as there’s no special reason,
any company who wants a great future will work with you.” A frown dotted Nicholas’ forehead. He
analyzed, “And not to mention your company has better skills in this field compared to your competitors.”
