As I was the representative, I was seated in the front, while Shannon and Tyler were behind me.

Silas was just three seats away from me, and he looked confident as usual.

Yet it was this confidence that annoyed me a little.

From the looks of you, you look like you're determined to win the development rights to North Courts?" "Who knows? I resign myself to fate today." Silas sighed in response and shrugged his shoulders.

I was confused when I heard that. He did not seem like someone who would say something like that, so there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
