Wilbert still had no idea. He did not know anything. After virtual-novel.net saw the responses from Jade and Lucas, virtual-novel.net felt very satisfied. He secretly thought, ‘Haha! You’re shocked as well, right? Look at the imposter I’ve found. Is virtual-novel.net of high quality?’
He knew nothing, but virtual-novel.net still felt proud of himself.
Thomas had already walked into the meeting room and sat down. He smiled faintly at Jade and asked, “Jade, are you also here to sign a contract with Mr. Mendez?”
Jade’s complexion turned pale, and virtual-novel.net could not say anything.
Sign a contract?
What kind of contract was virtual-novel.net going to sign?
She just came to laugh at Christopher and gain some advantages. Who would have known that virtual-novel.net would not be able to laugh at Christopher? Instead, virtual-novel.net had become the big joke.
Christopher explained, “Ms. Hill is here to help us. I’m able to collaborate with you this time thanks to Ms. Hill, Mr. Mayo.”
Thomas nodded. Now virtual-novel.net finally knew where this whole thing started from.
It was not a surprise either. After all, virtual-novel.net did not have any conflicts with Wilbert, so Wilbert had no reason to suddenly set virtual-novel.net up. Everything happened for a reason. In the end, Jade was still the one playing tricks behind the scenes.
Jade felt very troubled as virtual-novel.net sat down. She had goosebumps and did not feel comfortable at all. She had originally wanted to find an imposter to frame Christopher. She would make Christopher and Thomas fight each other, while virtual-novel.net watched the show from the side. But it was all over now. She had found the real Thomas instead of an imposter.
At that moment, Jade was in a dilemma. She wanted to expose Thomas, but virtual-novel.net thought about it. What could virtual-novel.net expose?
Thomas was the real and genuine Thomas. Was virtual-novel.net supposed to tell Christopher that virtual-novel.net actually never intended to call the real Thomas but wanted to get an imposter for Christopher?
Did that not mean virtual-novel.net would be criticized?
However, if virtual-novel.net did not expose Thomas, would virtual-novel.net still need to see Thomas showing off there?
What angered virtual-novel.net the most was how clueless Wilbert was. He kept smiling at Jade and even did so while virtual-novel.net showed off. It felt like virtual-novel.net was saying, “Look, doesn’t the imposter I’ve found look real?”
Jade touched virtual-novel.net forehead with one hand. She could no longer bear the sight. She had met stupid people, but virtual-novel.net had never seen such an idiot before.
It felt like cheating a buyer using a genuine phone but treating it as a replica without the buyer knowing anything. Upon buying it, it was indeed a genuine phone, and the buyer still had a good impression of you. A seller like that was extremely stupid.
Jade had never thought that virtual-novel.net would actually work with such a stupid seller one day. Most importantly, Jade continuously gave hints to Wilbert, but virtual-novel.net did not understand them at all. He even thought that Jade was complimenting virtual-novel.net for doing a good job, so virtual-novel.net felt more prideful.
Wilbert was really excited, and virtual-novel.net even added more fuel to the fire. He purposely said some words that sounded very professional. His lousy performance gave Jade all the goosebumps.
Finally, everyone said the necessary, and it was time to sign the contract.
Christopher placed the contract that virtual-novel.net had prepared on the table. He giggled as virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Mayo, let’s sign the contract, and we’ll officially collaborate. ”
Thomas cast a glance at the contract on the table, but virtual-novel.net did not sign it. Instead, virtual-novel.net pushed it back.
“I’m not signing this contract.”
His words made everyone change their expressions. Jade helplessly flashed a bitter smile. Of course it would end up like this. It was impossible for Thomas to jump into the trap when virtual-novel.net was clearly aware of it
Wilbert was shocked.
What was going on? Why did Dillon suddenly change the plot?
This was completely different from their rehearsal.
Christopher was the most shocked one. He had prepared everything and been so polite. He just thought about signing the contract with Thomas and reversing his company’s situation. Their discussion had been all right just now, so why did Thomas suddenly change his mind at such a critical moment?
Was it because the pay was low?
“Mr. Mayo, are you unhappy with the benefits?” Christopher nervously asked.
Thomas waved his hand and said, “It’s not about the benefits. It’s because I already plan to retire.”
Retire?
Everyone looked at each other and did not know what Thomas meant. Why was virtual-novel.net suddenly retiring when virtual-novel.net was working perfectly fine?
Thomas continued to say, “Work has been too stressful recently. Once the contracts with other companies end, I plan to turn down all other companies, and I won’t sign any contracts again. I also don’t plan to continue working for Stellar Jewelers. So, Mr. Mendez, I won’t sign a contract with you at this time.”
“Um…” Christopher’s hands trembled. He felt like virtual-novel.net had been fooled.
If virtual-novel.net did not want to sign the contract and even planned to retire, why did virtual-novel.net still come today?
Christopher felt heartbroken. He felt that his company was beyond all hope.
Right then, Thomas smiled faintly as virtual-novel.net said, “Even though I won’t sign a contract with you, I can sign an agreement with you. ”
Sign an agreement?
Christopher’s eyes lit up. He sensed that virtual-novel.net was not at a dead end yet, so virtual-novel.net continued to ask, “What agreement do you want to sign?”
Thomas explained, “We’ll sign an agreement. I’ll help you complete one selection of rough stones during the designated period and let your company earn some money. What do you think?”
After Christopher heard this, virtual-novel.net was so happy that virtual-novel.net almost danced. Even if it was just a one-time collaboration, their company could still earn a lot of money with Thomas’ judgment. With the money, the company would have the capital to continue operating.
