Beyond the Divorce

Sure enough, Ryan asked, "What kind of dinner is it?"

"Martin's hosting it. Also, he's Nelson's son. Martin wants to discuss some project matters, so I thought it would be necessary to prepare for it," I spoke casually but startled Adrian and Ryan.

Ryan insisted, "I'll come with you. You can't deal with them alone. I'm the company's general manager and have the right to participate in negotiations. You need me, especially since we're in a foreign place." Adrian agreed, "He's right, Ms. Chloe. We don't know how the people here, and safety is our priority."

I sneered and dismissed their concerns, "You're overthinking it. Just because they're crafty doesn't mean I fear them. I think they want to negotiate the terms with me, so I'll talk to them. You're giving them too much credit. However, I still need to make preparations."

Ryan stared at me in frustration. "You're right, I don't understand!"
