said, everything had remained just as she'd left it, and he'd reserved her place for her.

But deep down, she couldn't shake off the feeling that her return to the office was as simple as it seemed.

"Miss Sampson, I knew you would come back, but..."

Lily seemed to have something to say, but she was holding herself back.

Patricia pointed to the chair opposite her and motioned for Lily to sit down.

Lily sat down obediently, her concern etched all over her face.

"Lily, what exactly happened? You can tell me!"

Patricia stated firmly.

She had an inkling that something was going on behind the scenes as to why the president had asked her to come back.

"Miss Sampson!"

Lily called out to her, then looked at the door of the office nervously.

Pleased that they were alone, she asked, "Miss Sampson, do you still remember the project between the Reynolds Group and our company?"

"Yes, I do.Why? What's wrong?"

With her beautiful eyebrows knitted tightly, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face at the thought of being scammed by the president.

"Some time ago, for unknown reasons, the Reynolds Group suddenly pulled their investment from the project! The president sent several groups of people to settle this issue, but they all failed.So, he’s been anxious about this for the past couple of days."

Lily said this in a low voice and looked in the direction of the door again, fearful someone might overhear their conversation.

"Oh, I see..."

Patricia replied indifferently.

At the back of her mind, she contemplated what could have suddenly brought this on from the Reynolds Group.
