If he had not given us an answer before the clock strikes twelve then our plan would have failed.

Seeing Theo so calm, I could not help but be curious. "Are you not worried?"

He put down his work and looked at me. His gaze was soft, just as his tone was as he said, "Even if Sylvester doesn't agree to a partnership, we still have other plans, no?"

"Maybe so but still, working with him would be the most convenient."
