Aubrey Jane interrupted her with a polite smile, âMs. Hulle, we just confirmed our partner for the project. Iâm sorry. Weâll work with the Hulle Group if thereâs a chance next time.â
Erin stood frozen for a few seconds, trying to process what she had just heard. âMs. Keith, may I ask which company youâre partnering with?â
A flash of displeasure crossed Aubrey Janeâs expression. âIâm afraid that information is not convenient to share right now, Ms. Hulle. Goodbye.â

âWhat is it?â D âWhat is it?â Damon asked.
âThe Keithstone Groupâs resort project has already secured a partner,â she informed him.
Surprise crossed Damonâs face as he raised an eyebrow. âHow do you know that?â
