Chapter 1358
"Look at you. I just meant that wouldn't it be good if you could be a Secretary like Cameron? I'm not
saying that I want to marry him. Why are you so uptight?" Maria nudged him and continued, "Besides,
with Cameron’s dull temperament, only your sister can stand him. I could never!’
She couldn't afford to offend her husband. After all, she still wanted to live a life where she didn't have
to worry about having a roof over her head. Therefore, she quickly tried to coax him.
Upon hearing this, Fabian's face lifted. "That's true. He's too uptight. To be honest, he's like a thorn in
my flesh. I doubt he could climb to where he is now without that temperament of his!"
After muttering a few words, he continued to drink his wine. Then he thought of something and turned
his head to look at her. "By the way, have you figured out what kind of miracle doctor you've been
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtseeing yet?"
"Don't even talk about that. I didn't see him because your niece refused to see him. If you ask me, I
think Mrs. Russell must have brainwashed her." Right now, she loathed Lily.
Who knew what she had fed Anastasia for her to follow Lily’s advice blindly?
Maria had tried for years to teach Anastasia what she knew, but it had never worked. She was an
ungrateful brat!
"Mrs. Russell..." Fabian repeated after Maria and suddenly grinned.
Seeing his weird smile, she asked strangely, "Why do you have a weird smile on your face?"
She initially wanted to say that he looked like a fool, but she was afraid she would offend him again.
"Hehehe..." After chuckling several times, he cleared his throat and answered, "Do you know who's my
biggest competitor for the project I'm bidding on?"
"Who?" Maria blinked. She had no understanding of what was going on in the business world.
"La Beaute Group! They've been dipping their toes in the pharmaceutical industry for the past few
years. They're also well connected. Not many companies can compete with them!" He sighed as he
shook his head.
Maria frowned in confusion. "Didn't your brother-in-law promise to give you this project? What are you
afraid of?”
"He did, but I'm worried that things might change! That Alexander guy has the brains of Einstein. If he
pulled some strings, the project would be in shambles!” This was something that Fabian was worried
about.
As far as he knew, La Beaute Group was also very interested in this project. No one could stand a
chance if they wanted to get their hands on it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Then, why aren't you urging Cameron about it? You're still sitting here, giggling to yourself!’ Maria was
even more confused at this point.
"Hahaha, you don't get it. I was worried, but not anymore!’ He continued to hum and sip on his wine.
Seeing his snarky look, coupled with his lack of elaboration, Maria was furious. She snatched the wine
glass from his hands and growled, "Well, go on then!"
"Hey!" Fabian smacked his lips before lightly drumming his fingers on the table. "It's because
Alexander will be going abroad! From my calculation, I don't think he can make it back in time for the
bid."
"Going abroad? Why? Why wouldn't he make it back in time?" She was still lost.
Was it not normal for business people to go abroad? If La Beaute Group really held the project in such
high regard, wouldn't Alexander prioritize it and fly back before the bidding?
