Emmaâs eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Alex and Dorothy walk into Thomasâ
office. She immediately turned to Ethan. âBaby, whatâs happening? What contract is
your father signing with Dorothy?â
Ethan shook his head. âIâm not sure too. Iâm not that familiar with how things work in my
dadâs company.â
Emma huffed frustratedly. âDorothyâs damn company used to be one of our subsidiary
companies. Theyâre this close to going bankrupt. If your dad does work with such a
small company, heâd run into a lot of problems during the process. You have to convince
your dad, or else itâd be too late!â
âUhm⦠Yeah, I know, I know.â Ethan dismissed her remarks, clearly bothered by his
fatherâs expression earlier. He could tell something was amiss.
Alex and Dorothy left the CEOâs office after just ten minutes. The contract had been
signed successfully. Before they came, Charles had already discussed with Thomas
about the details of the contract. They had even settled the terms and conditions
beforehand and Thomas had no objections at all.
Firstly, with Alexâs title as a miracle doctor and his connections with the Yowells, the
Summers and Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Thomas knew just how important he was
in California.
Secondly, Charles was one of the biggest shareholders of South Cali Structures. So if
Charles wanted to have a say in a contract supposedly so minor, it had to be a big deal.
âYou came out this quickly? You were thrown out right?â
Emma noticed that Alex and Dorothy had come out of the office in just ten minutes and
started cackling.
âHow could they sign a contract in just ten minutes? Even if they did, it must be
insignificant. But how could Thomas Hawk sign some insignificant contract? Heâs the
CEO of the company!â
Alex and Dorothyâs silence only made Emma cockier. âSo how was it? Well, I told you
so, youâre just embarrassing yourselves. Why would South Cali Structures work with
your small *ss company?
Dorothy, you should just hire a moving company now so that
you could get out of our villa⦠Oh, I forgot to tell you, Grandma has already given me
the villa youâre living in. Donât you dare step foot in my house from now on.â
Dorothy turned to look at Emma, her eyes were filled with sympathy.
She wanted to speak up, but she decided not to. All she did was walk out of the office
while holding Alexâs hands.
Emma huffed and turned to demand with Ethan. âBaby, now that your father is free, letâs
go in!â
âAlright!â Ethan held Emmaâs hand and walked towards the CEOâs office.
However, he didnât expect to be blocked by the secretary. âSorry, Young Master Ethan.
You canât enter without the CEOâs permission.â
Ethanâs expression darkened. âSecretary Jodie, why would I need permission to see my
dad? Have you gone mental?â
Just then, Thomasâ voice came from the office. âLet him in, but have Miss Assex leave.â
Jodie nodded lightly and let Ethan in, but blocked Emma out. âMiss Assex, you may
leave now.â
âWhat? Why canât I go in? Iâm here to sign a contract! Iâm your young masterâs
girlfriend!â Emma yelled, clearly enraged.
Jodie shook her head. âMiss Assex, you must be mistaken, we donât have any contracts
to sign with you.â
Emma started panicking. âWhy not? Iâm Emma Assex from Assex Constructions. Do
you not know the contract for being the supplier for the Five Rings Project? Your young
master had promised me that we would sign it today! How could you not let me in? Do
you want to get fired?â
Jodie glared at her coldly. âSorry, we had signed this contract a while ago with another
company, not Assex Constructions.â
âWhat? If not us, then who signed the contract? Stoneworks?â
âDorothy-Alex Constructions.â
âWhat? Them? No way, thereâs just no way! You must be mistaken!â
âPlease leave, Miss Assex.â
Emma started yelling. âNo! Thatâs impossible! How could you sign it with that b*tchâs
company? Her sh*tty company could never handle such a big project! You guys must
have been scammed! I want to see Mr. Hawk, I want to see Ethan! Let me in!â
