Chapter 998 You Did Owe Me Money The project leader was so scared that he almost passed out when he saw the situation.
He couldnât care about Audreyâs popularity in the industry and immediately jumped out to defend his own boss. âMs. Swann, Mr.
Lambert is here to pay a visit because he admires you. But isnât it a bit too much for you to act all high and mighty like this?â
âHe admires me?â thought Audrey. She didnât believe a word of that.
She knew her attitude was not good. She definitely wouldnât have this attitude if it were someone else today. But it happened to be Triston.
When Audrey still had a stony face and didnât say anything, the project leader started to get impatient and was about to speak but was stopped by Triston.
He looked around with a cool attitude, making everyone think he was about to get mad. But then he said to the project leader, âAll of you can go. Iâll have a chat with Ms. Swann alone.â
The project leader was stunned for a moment but then quickly reacted and immediately left the meeting room.
Kim glanced at Audrey. After getting her signal, he went out.
Audreyâs goal was simple: she just wanted to take this opportunity to clear things up to avoid any further confusion between them.
Kim had just walked out of the meeting room when he was stopped by the project leader.
The project leader was not quick to react just now. When he got kicked out, he formed an idea. He stared at Kim curiously, trying to gather some intel. âKim, do you know if Ms. Swann is acquainted with Mr. Lambert?â
Kim gave him a disdainful look, feeling very unimpressed deep down.
âThese two are more than just acquaintances. Theyâre practically sworn enemies,â he said inwardly.
However, he was not interested in telling the project leader about this past gossip and didnât want him to misunderstand Audrey for being arrogant.
So, he hinted at something indirectly. â
Who do you think is Mr. Lambertâs closest and most influential brother? You should have a pretty good idea as his employee, right?â
The project leader immediately nodded proudly. âOf course, Mr. Lambertâs best bro is definitely the president of the Duncan Corporation.â
Everyone in Casier knew about the Duncan Corporation, not to mention now the Duncan Corporationâs business was becoming more globalized.
âThatâs right,â Kim agreed with a nod. âYou know Catherine Swann, the presidentâs wife? Thatâs Audreyâs sister. Do you think Audrey and Mr. Lambert are not close? There shouldnât be so many formalities when friends meet, right?â
The project leader was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.
He was all smiles as he dragged Kim along, inviting him to grab a bite. âOh, I see; in that case, let them talk, and we can go eat.â
In the conference room, Triston sat back in his chair, his good-looking eyes full of interest as he gazed at Audrey in front of him.
Seeing her angry face, he found it really amusing. âYouâre so unhappy to see me? You smile at everyone but give me a nasty look. Iâd think I owe you money if I didnât know any better.â
Audrey glanced at him and said impatiently, âDonât even talk about it. You did owe me money.â
She was so pissed off seeing Triston acting all casual like this. If it werenât for him going crazy last night, she wouldnât have to chug iced coffee to reduce the swelling early in the morning. Thanks to this guy, her next monthâs period was about to be all messed up again.
Triston was a bit stunned. He admitted that he owed Audrey quite a bit.
But he definitely didnât owe her money.
Even if he were broke, he wouldnât owe money to a woman. But he actually became interested when Audrey said that. âThen go ahead and tell me what money I owe you,â he said.
