Drew went blank for a moment and pointed at himself. He asked, âAre you calling me?â
âAre you Drew? If you are, I am calling you,â Harrison said lazily.
âYes, its me.â
Drew walked fast and then stopped to clear up his suit carefully. Then he looked at Alfie and said, âDo I look OK? I donât want to be disrespectful at the first meeting.â
âEverything is fine. Take it easy, brother. Look at you. You are like a bridegroom urging to have sex with your bride.â Alfie joked.
âYou donât understand.â After Drew said these words, he walked to the door of the chairmanâs office.
Alfie and Tommy were about to follow Drew, but stopped by Harrison. âThe chairman only asked to meet Drew, and others should not come into the office.â
âWe are not âothersâ. Drew is my elder brother. I should come in.â
Drew looked back and waved his hand to Alfie. âYou stay outside and mind yourselves.â
Alfie looked Drew entering into the office with his mouth twisted hopelessly.
Once in the office, Drew was shocked by the luxurious decoration with high-end materials imported from other countries. He estimated that each meterâs materials would cost 10 thousand dollars.
Then a set of bookcase, table and chairs made of rosewood came into his view and made his eyes pop out.
Finally, Drewâs eyes were fixed on the executive chair behind the office table, which was also made of rosewood. He looked at the back of Maximilianâs head in fear and trembling.
What was happening? Why the chairman turned his back on me? Did he have any dissatisfaction with me?
The more Drew thought, the more perturbed he was. He even trembled slightly.
âMr., Mr. Lee. Nice to meet you. I am Drew here for the development contract.â Drew made a self-
introduction nervously.
Maximilian was playing with his mobile phone and still kept silence.
Due to the dead silence, Drew felt his heart was about to jump out of his body.
âMr. Lee, could you hear my words?â
âStand there and wait. Donât you see that Iâm playing games?â
Hearing the answer, Drew felt calm and stood there waiting for Maximilian to finish his games.
Maximilian played another two rounds of games and then put down his mobile phone, and asked, âWhat are you doing here?â
âIâm here to make clear the commencement day. We cannot wait. If the construction is postponed again, the staff and equipment will be discharged then. We cannot afford the expenditure of long-time stop. Maximilian must have told you this.â After finishing his talk, Drew got a fright. It seemed that he didnât see Maximilian since he entered the office.
Looking around, he was sure that he didnât see Maximilian in the office. Suddenly, Drew felt his hair stand on end.
Maximilian Lee, Mr. Lee.
Drew talked in whispers and looked at the back of Maximilianâs head with fear. He thought to himself that perhaps Maximilian was Mr. Lee.
Before Maximilian entered the office, there was nobody in the office. But after he came into the room, the chairman of Topyuan Group appeared.
Drew thought he grasped the true fact and his body shook more violently. If Maximilian was the boss, the contract would be destroyed.
âDo you know Maximilian? He has come into the office but isnât here now,â Drew asked in a low and nervous tone.
âJust guess why he disappeared?â Maximilian said with smile.
Maximilian didnât change his voice but spoke in normal voice. At that moment, hearing the familiar voice, Drew was sure that the boss was Maximilian. But why Maximilian was the hidden boss of the Topyuan Group?
It was said that he was a crap who depended on her wife to support his daily spending.
How such a man could spend 2 billion dollars on investment? A man who had 2 billion dollars would be a famous rich in H City. He could be everyone but a crap.
Drew was frozen with confusion and felt terrible.
Maximilian turned around his chair slowly, looking at Drew with a smile. He said, âIs it a surprise?â
âSurprise? I am too scared to stand.â
Drew felt sluggish and fell down to the floor with the clothes of his back drenched in sweat.
âHow could you be the chairman of Topyuan Group? I donât understand. Now that you have such power, why are you still willing to be called a crap? What are you doing this for? Are you kidding me along with the chairman?â
Drew still couldnât believe the fact. Though he had seen Maximilian sitting on the chair behind the table, he wasnât willing to believe it.
âAs for the reason, I donât need to explain it to you and you donât have the qualification to know. The only thing that you should know is that for me, wiping out the Wrights is a piece of cake,â said Maximilian without any facial expression.
There was an iciness in Drewâs heart. He figured out the threat in Maximilianâs words.
Wipe out the Wrights. Thinking about the words, Drew believed that Maximilian was absolutely able to do it. It was barely a threat and warning.
âWhy donât you speak?â Maximilian asked, smiling.
Drew shuddered all over. He came to his senses immediately and said in a hurry, âBother-in-law, Iâ¦â
âDonât pretend to be close to me. I didnât wipe out the Wrights because of Victoria, which is benevolent enough. Do you think the contract can be signed only by you? The top 10 enterprises in the country all wanted to win the contract. Have you ever thought about why you can get the windfall?â Maximilian said slightly.
Cold sweat ran down from Drewâs forehead instantly. Even a fool was able to figure it out.
âYes. I understand that it is because of your help. We fail to recognize a great person and to understand what you do.â said Drew with his waist bent.
Maximilian who could afford 2 billion dollars in creating a group was heavier than Mountain Tai in Drewâs heart. Maximilian was definitely a rich protector, which was not recognized by Drew and the whole Wright Family.
Thinking about the things the Wrights had done to Maximilian at Hugoâs birthday party, Drew was bitterly remorseful. At the same time, he also learned that the contract was one of the birthday gifts that Maximilian gave to Hugo.
Drew said through gritted teeth, âBrother, I would like to slap myself to apologize to you.â
