Chapter 150 Las Vegas

Matthew raised his eyebrows as Claire ended the brief phone call. "Who was that?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.

Claire had a confused look on her face. "It was Alex," she replied slowly. "He wants me to come with him to Las Vegas." Matthew's eyes widened, and he immediately shook his head in disagreement. "You should decline his offer," he said firmly.

Claire sighed, her frustration evident. "I don't want to go, especially with Alex. But this is about the project, and I need to see it through. It's part of our business." Matthew leaned forward, his expression serious. "Let me go instead. I can handle it. You don't have to go with him."

Claire shook her head. "I can't do that, Matthew. I'm the CEO. If I don't fulfill my part of the deal, Alex will have the right to terminate the contract with Metacortex." Matthew sighed deeply, knowing she was right. "So, you're going to go?"

Claire nodded, determination in her eyes. "Yes. Besides, it will be good for me to get away from Eligos watcher for a while."

Later that night, Claire decided to contact Alex to finalize the details of their upcoming trip. She dialed his number, and after a few rings, he picked up.

"Mr. Harris." Claire greeted him. "How many employees should I bring for the trip?"

Alex's voice was calm at the other end. "You don't need to bring too many. Just the key members of your team, the brains behind the operation."

Claire nodded, even though he couldn't see her. "Understand, I will arrange it." She was about to end the call when Alex's voice stopped her. "Claire, are you coming too?" he asked.

"Yes, of course," Claire replied, slightly confused. "Isn't that what you asked earlier?"
