Before Lewis could catch even a glimpse, Victor flipped the phone over and clamped it facedown in his palm.

At the same time, his gaze shot toward Lewis–sharp as a blade.

Lewis was stunned.

What the hell was that look?

Fine, he wouldn’t look. Geez.

He scratched his nose, a bit put out. Ever since Victor had gotten involved with a woman, everything seemed to be some kind of secret.

“Mr. Victor? Mr. Victor?” The man across from him finally spoke up, seeing he was still silent. “Are you not satisfied with our terms? I believe Mr. Abraham would be.”

“If you think Mr. Abraham’s easier to deal with, then go talk to him.”

Victor stood abruptly, the air around him icy, and strode out the door without a backward glance.

Silas and Lewis were both taken aback, exchanging quick glances.

Mr. Peter finally realized something was wrong. “What does Mr. Victor mean by this?”

There was a clear edge of displeasure in his voice now.

Silas, uncertain of Victor’s mood, simply said coolly, “Think about it. Do you really think Mr. Abraham would even bother looking at those terms?”

Dragging Abraham into a negotiation was a fatal misstep.

Everyone in Falvaria knew that while Victor technically worked under Abraham, Abraham had given him immense authority.
