The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

After suggesting to collaborate again, Carlisle felt a little guilty. He was afraid that Zane would reject him.

Zane said icily, "I don't think this is because of our long partnership. You must've tried approaching other partners, but you were turned down. That is why you suddenly thought of your old partner, didn't you?" Carlisle asked obsequiously, "If that's the case, would you give me another chance, Mr. Huxham?"

"We signed the new contract with a new partner yesterday," Zane replied.

With his face as pale as a sheet, Carlisle said, "I see. It won't be nice of you to cancel your partnership because of us."

Without any consideration for their past partnership, Zane said coldly, "Yeah."

Feeling awkward, Carlisle said, "I'll think of other ways, then."

Surprised, Douglas answered the call. "Mr. Huxham?"
