Chapter 40

"No problem, I'll take the contract to Mr. Etheridge," Luther said.

"Great, I was actually waiting for someone to pick up the contract. Now that you're here, I'll head out too," Mr. Horace replied. The two of them left the private room together.

Suzan searched the area but couldn't find Effie anywhere. When she asked a colleague, she learned that Effie had already gone home.

Suzan's brows furrowed in annoyance.

That spiteful woman-Effie just left? She wasn't even going to discuss the partnership with Mr. Horace?

Hmph! Suzan was determined to report this to Mitchell.

Effie wasn't getting away with the money that easily.

She glanced discreetly into the private room and saw that Mr. Horace was gone, presumably having left already.

Suzan let out a cold laugh.

Effie had clearly annoyed Mr. Horace, so the deal must have fallen through.

Suzan couldn't wait to see how Effie would handle the fallout.

She was ready to sit back and enjoy the show.
