Wife 102

Chapter 102

“Mr. Harris, Director Harris from Frotconn is waiting for you in your meeting room.” Robert’s

secretary knocked on his door. “What should I tell him?”

“How long has he been waiting?” Robert put down his pen and glanced at his watch. “Tell him I’ll be

there in a moment.”

“Okay.”

Robert frowned as he looked over the report that had been brought up that morning, then at the

document on his desk. He took a deep breath and headed to the meeting room.

Robert was a very charming middle–aged man who still maintained the same sparkle he had as a

youth. However, after years of being outmaneuvered by Charles at Collosus Group, he had aged

quite a bit.

When Robert opened the meeting room door, he saw Joseph quickly stand up, looking as if he was

greeting someone very important. “Mr. Harris.”

Robert raised an eyebrow. “What brings you here?”

“I… I wanted to ask if there’s been any trouble at Collosus Group lately.”

Robert quirked an eyebrow. “What prompted you to ask that?” He had not caught wind of any such

talk, and besides, with Charles at the helm of Collosus Group, there was no reason to worry.

Joseph bit his lip, wondering if Robert was truly out of the loop.

“Just tell me!” Robert checked his watch. “I’ve got another meeting soon.”

“Collosus Group has been cutting back on orders from Frotconn lately… Did you know about this?”

“Really? That’s news to me.” Robert’s eyes darted around, showing his surprise. Then, he grew

serious. That can’t be right. You know Collosus Group has always taken good care of Frotconn.

There shouldn’t be any issues like this. Did your company do something wrong?”

Joseph’s face fell. He could understand if Collosus Group was cutting orders because they noticed

a mistake. However, he had thought it over and could not figure out what they might have done

wrong.

“Could you talk to Mr. Hoffman for us? This year for Frotconn has been…”

“Mr. Harris!” The secretary rushed in, leaned in close to Robert, and whispered urgently. Robert’s

expression transformed in an instant, his hands gripping the sofa arms tightly. “Are you sure about

this?” The secretary nodded, looking serious. “It’s true. Someone saw Ronald taking away Mr.

Lowry yesterday.” “Ronald?” Robert’s face darkened. Ronald was Charles’s right–hand man. If

Ronald was involved, it meant that Charles was too, and nobody knew the consequences of that

better than Robert.

“Why are you only telling me now?” Robert asked.

“We weren’t sure what was going on until today. Mr. Lowry didn’t show up for work, so…” The

secretary was worried too. His absence was a big deal, so they had checked on it right away. “And

the person from the secretarial office didn’t come in today either.”

“Okay, got it,” Robert said, dismissing the secretary with a wave. He turned to Joseph. “Buddy, I’ve

got to handle some things today. I’ll talk to Charles about what you mentioned later.”

With that, Joseph was shown the door. He was confused and wanted to say more, but Robert did

not wait any longer. He had someone escort Joseph out.
