“It’s not a big problem, but if it’s not dealt with soon, we’ll face technical problems in the later phase. Besides, something is off with the structure of the base. What do you guys have in the underground? Is it a garage or a warehouse?” Marcus asked.

I was a little bewildered by his question. “There’s nothing underneath. Why?”

He frowned. “Normally, there will have something built underneath with this kind of structure.”

He seemed to have realized something as he kept quiet and pondered for a moment. However, he did not ask further as he looked at me and asked, “Do you want to grab lunch together?”

I shook my head. “No, thanks. I…”

He arched his eyebrow and cut me off, “So, you plan to avoid me forever? We are business partners after all. It’s totally fine to have a meal with business partners, right?”

 

With his personality, I knew that if I continued to find excuses, he would also continue trying to talk me out of it. Therefore, I complied. “Okay. I know we can grab something to eat behind here. It’s nothing much, but it can fill our stomachs. I still have a lot to do in the afternoon, so I don’t want to waste time going to restaurants that are far away from here.”

He nodded with a smile. “Sure.”
