Chapter 421 Why Is He Suddenly Calling?

After wrapping up the call with Ambrose, Alaric tossed his phone aside and shut his eyes. Man, he was wiped out and hurting.

He'd been half-asleep when Ambrose's call yanked him out of dreamland. He checked the time, then grabbed his phone to ring up Silas.

Silas picked up right away. "Mr. Knight."

"Ambrose called, said he wants to make up for it with some land. You deal with it," Alaric said.

Silas replied, "Got it."

"What about Galatea?" Alaric asked, still worried. "She went back to oversee things. The higher-ups giving her a hard time?"

Silas answered, "Ms. Storm's in a meeting with Mr. Nash right now. I'll fill you in once it's done." Alaric said, "Alright."

Just then, Stellan took Alaric's old seat. At the start of the meeting, she apologized to everyone, "Sorry about the mess at the jewelry company's site. Alaric can't come back 'cause he's not feeling well, so I'll be stepping in for now. Hope you all can back me up. If anyone's got issues, speak up."

The higher-ups had their gripes about Stellan, but since it was Alaric's call, they kept quiet.

"Since Mr. Knight decided this, we don't have any objections. And honestly, the site accident wasn't your fault, Ms. Storm. But our request to resume work got shot down. You need to fix that," one of the higher-ups said.

Another exec added, "Yeah, the accident's already hurt us. The delay's making it worse."
