Hana agreed and quickly left.

"What do you mean? What's going on? Can you explain?" I pretended not to understand.

"Oh, don't play dumb. You pulled off the Avalon Hills deal, didn't you?" He continued delightedly. "Let me tell you, Liora is furious right now. She's calling for help all over the place."

"What are you trying to say? What happened?" I questioned further.

"Didn't you mess up the signing of the Avalon Hills contract?" Matthew seemed a little surprised. "Liora delayed the signing, and now things have fallen apart."
