Chapter 129
“Hello?”
“Is Mr. Swanson there?”
“Hello…Mr. Swanson?”
The lively tone with ups and downs, Jeremiah chuckled helplessly, leaning back and raising a hand to cover his deep eyes, saying softly, “I’m here.”
Paulette sighed, “Did I talk too much?”
“Not.”
He paused and added, “You can say whatever you want, I’m listening carefully.”
After that interruption, Paulette had already forgotten what she had just said, feeling dizzy, she yawned.
“I’m not talking anymore… I’ll go home and sleep soon, are you going to drink too? Then you should go to bed early, I’ll wait for you to come. back.”
She spoke casually, but it felt like a hook in Jeremiah’s ear, spreading down his nerves to his heart, making him itch.
“Mr. Swanson…” Bryson leaned in close to the car window from outside. and saw him on the phone, so he stopped talking.

Jeremiah frowned and glanced at him, softly saying into the phone, “Okay, good night.”
That guy just kicked the bucket.
Bryson saw the expression on his boss’s face and had a bad feeling, but he still bravely said, “Boss, Mr. Chapman and his assistant have been
waiting for a while.”
“What, can’t wait?”
The man put away his phone slowly, with no expression on his face. “He won’t leave until he naturally leaves. Since he’s already here, he’ll wait not matter how long it takes.”
Bryson nodded and opened the car door.
Jeremiah took long strides down.
“Just him and his assistant?”
“Yeah.”
“He…he was quite confident.”
This club in Fromond is really famous. When you walk in through the front door, there are bouncers lined up on both sides, wearing earpieces and ready for any unexpected situations.
The waitress led them to the private room door, “Please come in, sir.”
The door was pushed open, and the dim light made the whole compartment look a bit ambiguous.
Jeremiah looked up and saw the man in the middle drinking with the female PR next to him.
When someone came, the original activity naturally stopped.
Nelson waved away the woman sitting next to him, straightened his suit and stood up, “Mr. Swanson, long time no see.
Jeremiah’s wandering gaze passed over his face, he squeezed his hands slightly when they were clasped, then quickly released them, and said in a soft voice, “Mr. Chapman, nice to meet you.”
Nelson raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
It shouldn’t have been his imagination just now.
Was Jeremiah… hostile towards him?
There was a glint in his eyes, and he gestured to the women on either side to pour the wine. “Strictly speaking, our relationship is not shallow, but it’s been many years since you moved away and we haven’t seen each other.”
Jeremiah lounged on the sofa with his legs crossed, exuding a unique. charm that was hard to look away from.
“Long time no see.”
He said, “But Mr. Chapman, seems like he doesn’t really know me.
Nelson nodded, looking relaxed, “After all, we have a bit of an age difference and we don’t go to the same school, so it’s normal that we can’t hang out together.”
Jeremiah chuckled, “I wasn’t talking about that.”
“That was…

Chapter 129
Seeing Nelson looking puzzled, Jeremiah had no intention of explaining. He picked up the glass on the table and took a sip, “Mr. Chapman asked me out today, it can’t just be for catching up, right? Let’s talk business instead.”
Nelson made plans with Jeremiah three times today.
The first time he had a meeting at the company, he couldn’t make time.
The second time he was having dinner with a client, he was not free.
It wasn’t until the third time that he finally agreed to meet with him after the last social engagement.
Three visits to the thatched cottage, that’s all.
Nelson wanted to visit the neighbors, but it looks like Mr. Swanson wasn’t planning to be friendly at all.
So, about the collaboration…
Nelson’s eyes twinkled as he chuckled and raised his glass, “I’m sure Mr. Swanson already knows our company’s intentions, what do you think?”
Jeremiah didn’t change his expression, stretched out his legs, and said, “What’s the matter? Just thinking while lying down.”
Nelson’s expression froze slightly, smiling and saying, “Mr. Swanson sure knows how to crack a joke.
Jeremiah was also laughing, but his laughter was cold and distant, not reaching his eyes at all. He stared at the man in front of him for a moment, then straightened up and said, “Since Mr. Chapman is interested. in working with us, I need to see some sincerity from you. Can you at least show me the project proposal?”
I think it’s a bit far–fetched to expect such a big favor from our neighbors.

“Of course.”
