I popped a couple of cefalexin pills and was about to sleep again when my phone on the bedside table started vibrating nonstop. Half-asleep, I answered the call, only to hear Agnes angrily demanding.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? You knew Mr. Walker was hosting today, and you knew he values harmony between couples. So you deliberately picked a fight with me yesterday?
"Are you just trying to force me to submit to you? Milan was right—children of capitalists like you are so calculating! You're actually trying to use this to threaten me."
Her tone grew sharper, and her words more cutting.
I swallowed my temper and replied, "So, you called me just to say all this?"
She snorted coldly, her tone impatient. "Get over here right now! I have to close this deal!"
I sighed helplessly, wanting to tell her it was none of my business anymore, but she hung up on me.
Her company carried some of my hard work too, so I went anyway.
As soon as I entered the private room, Mr. Walker warmly greeted me.
"Hey, Gray guy, glad you made it!"
Milan was sitting to Agnes' left, serving her food in an overly intimate manner.
