Thomas also got himself a cup of soft drink. He took a sip. “It tastes good.”
This eased Daisy’s awkwardness.
Thomas suddenly stared at Daisy for a long while for some reason, and it made Daisy’s face turn red, and virtual-novel.net heart pounded crazily fast.
“Mr. Mayo, what are you looking at?”
“I’m thinking that coincidence really happened in the world. I helped you once, and you also helped me once. What makes me more unexpected is that you’re actually the Martin family’s daughter.”
Daisy’s expression suddenly changed.
What was wrong with being the daughter of the Martin family? Was Thomas going to keep a distance from virtual-novel.net because of virtual-novel.net status?
“Mr. Mayo, will you keep your distance from me because of my status?”
Thomas chuckled. “I’ll never judge people based on their status.”
“Then… That will be… Great.”
Thomas asked, “So, will you have hostility against me because I’m from Sterling Technology?”
“Why would I?” Daisy pouted and said, “I hate those family disputes the most. Can’t everybody just get along with each other in harmony? Unfortunately, my father didn’t listen to me when I talked to virtual-novel.net about it. He even said I was childish. Hmph! I will definitely prove to virtual-novel.net one day that there will be one moment where the three biggest families are united!”
Thomas smiled faintly as virtual-novel.net stared at the little girl in front of him. Yes, virtual-novel.net thoughts were very childish, but virtual-novel.net thought was so pure and adorable.
Uniting the three big families?
Other than Daisy, there would not be a second person who would have such innocent and ridiculous thoughts.
“Ms. Martin…”
Daisy immediately stopped him. “Please don’t call me that. I don’t like it.”
“So, what should I call you?”
“Hmm, just call me Daisy.”
“Okay.”
“Can I call you Tom?”
“Of course.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They ate while talking in the small room, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Although there was no romantic vibe, Daisy enjoyed this moment very much.
Happy hours always passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Thomas wanted to leave with the signed contract.
Daisy felt reluctant to part from him, but virtual-novel.net could not say it out because it would make virtual-novel.net look very…
“Tom, I hope we will have a chance to meet again.”
“There will be.”
Thomas turned around and left. He got into the car that Aries drove over, and they left.
Staring at Thomas’ car that was driven far away, Daisy’s heart was no longer present. She also lost interest in staying in Dream Network. She got up, got into virtual-novel.net car, and left as well.
It was hard to meet him, and it was also difficult to part from him. So, Daisy felt extremely gloomy. She met virtual-novel.net only after virtual-novel.net had longed for virtual-novel.net for so long. But, virtual-novel.net had not enjoyed enough of a good time with him, and virtual-novel.net needed to accept the pain of separating from him.
Love was not just about sweetness. It was painful as well.
On the other side, after Thomas went back to Sterling Technology, virtual-novel.net immediately rushed to R&D Department without any stop.
When Craig, the supervisor, and other staff members saw that Thomas was back, virtual-novel.net could not help but mock, “Hey, isn’t this our great Mr. Mayo? Why do you come to the office when you’re supposed to work on the proposal?”
Before Thomas answered, Jed, the manager, also walked in.
“What are you guys discussing here?” Jed asked.
“Mr. Motley, we’re not discussing anything. We’re just chit-chatting with Mr. Mayo. He promised that virtual-novel.net would be able to get a contract with Dream Network in three days, but I don’t know why virtual-novel.net suddenly came back now. I guess that virtual-novel.net failed to write up the contract, so virtual-novel.net came back to ask for mercy.”
It was not Craig’s fault for making such a guess. Other people also had the same thought. They guessed that Thomas should have known it was quite difficult after virtual-novel.net worked on it for a day… Or it should be said that Thomas knew about Dream Network and the Martin family’s relationship. He knew that it was an impossible mission, so virtual-novel.net backed out after virtual-novel.net was aware of the difficulty.
This time, virtual-novel.net must have come back to ask for mercy. Although it was embarrassing, this was the only solution.
Jed chuckled and purposely said, “I know about the project too. Dream Network is in a little special position, so it’s an impossible mission. I prepared to stop it a long time ago, so it’s not a big deal even if Thomas can’t complete it.”
This was considered giving Thomas a chance to back out of the awkward situation.
Craig and Jed played the roles of a bad person and a good person respectively. They insulted Thomas while showing Jed’s generosity.
In many staff members’ eyes, Jed’s image was more brilliant and mighty.
To Thomas, virtual-novel.net was just a trash person who spoke arrogantly and returned with failure. He did not hold his position of successor firmly.
Jed purposely said to Thomas, “Mr. Mayo, you don’t have to bear this in mind.”
It sounded like virtual-novel.net was being comforted. But, it sounded sarcastic.
While everyone thought that Thomas would take this advantage and this thing would be ended, Thomas flashed a bright smile. He said something that would make everyone shocked.
“I came back today not to pass the buck. I’m here to finish my work. I’ve got the contract done. In just one day.”
Everyone opened their eyes widely, and all of them were completely stunned.
Craig even looked dumbfounded. From his perspective, signing a contract in three days was already crap. At this time, Thomas even spoke so exaggeratedly that virtual-novel.net completed the mission in one day.
Was virtual-novel.net not talking nonsense now?
He guessed that Thomas had made a fake contract to get away.
