Chapter 7

Maxim’s eyes flashed with anticipation, and yet disappointment replaced the expression when he saw the caller ID flickering on the screen.

It was Kiley. The second he picked the phone up, he heard her voice with a smile. She said, “Maxim, my grandpa’s birthday is coming up, and my parents put me in charge of delivering invitations. Are you free later? I’m just passing by the Yoder Group, and I’ll drop you off the invitation. We can have lunch together. What do you say?”

Maxim said indifferently, “OK.”

“Alright. See you later.”

After putting down the phone, he wasn’t at ease at all. Instead, he was even more irritated and depressed. He couldn’t read the files in his hand at all.

To his surprise, Briana was so resolute this time and wouldn’t reach out to him whatsoever.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Rayan came in with a document and looked solemn. “Mr. Yoder, I just got the news that the land in the east of the city seems to be auctioned in advance!”

Maxim’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “Go tell the project manager and the shareholders that a meeting will be held in five minutes.”

When Kiley arrived, Maxim was still in the meeting. Rayan received her.

“Ms. Schneider, Mr. Yoder has just started a meeting. He asked me to take you to his office and wait for him.”

She smiled gently, “Thank you.”

Rayan led Kiley into Maxim’s office, told her to tell him if she needed anything, and then left.

After the door was closed, Kiley went to Maxim’s desk. She was about to put the gold-plated invitation on the desk when she saw a red box on it and paused for a moment.

It looked like a jewelry box. Considering that her birthday was coming up as well, she wondered whether this was Maxim’s birthday gift for her.

After a moment’s hesitation, Kiley picked up the box.
