The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer by Dream Searcher

Chapter 334

Soren interrupted me before I could apologize, “Taylor, haven’t you learned to inform me before doing anything? I thought we planned to visit the Kenway residence this weekend.”

I took a deep breath and tried to keep my voice steady. “I called you last night, but you didn’t answer. I texted you this morning too, but you didn’t respond.”

“Sorry. I got pretty drunk meeting with my clients last night. I just woke up. I’m calling you now because I saw your message.”

I stiffened. So that was why he sounded so groggy.

The Uber honked lightly and merged onto the road. I had to cut the conversation short. “I can’t make time for the visit today anymore. If you think it’s necessary, we can do tomorrow.”

I started the car and followed the driver.

Soren was quiet for a long time. Then, finally, he asked gently, “Are you upset?”

I bit my lip.

Frustration welled up inside me, but I forced myself to stay composed–I was driving, after all. “Yes, a little! I know you’re upset as well. You didn’t return my calls. I thought you-
