Love At The Right Price

Chapter 47

Tamara had merely started to take a liking to Frank. If she found out that he was still lying to her, she had to reconsider whether she should accept that man.

“For work, of course. A lot of companies are scrambling for the Colt Enterprise case. Our firm values this collaboration as well. Therefore, when we heard that the Hardy Group is meeting up with the person-in-charge of Colt Enterprise, the management ordered me to try to fight for the case again,” Frank explained with a stern look as he took out one of the documents in his hand and handed it to Tamara.

“You may look at this. I even brought along Cloud Industries’ letter of intent and proposal,” he added.

Tamara suspiciously took the documents from him and carefully read through them.

Indeed, it was clearly stated on the document that it was a proposal about collaboration between Cloud Industries and Colt Enterprise. It even contained the Cloud Industries official stamp as well. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“If the truth is like how you explained, whereby the Cloud Industries values this collaboration, why would your company allow a new employee like you to handle this case alone?” She appraised Frank from head to toe, and the suspicion in her heart grew stronger.

A company as large as Cloud Industries wouldn’t make such an amateur mistake.

Goodness, I miscalculated! Frank’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Tamara’s question. He never expected that he would give himself away because of this.

Nonetheless, he remained as calm as before and indifferently glanced at her. “Harold is supposed to hold these documents; I’m merely assisting him in this task.”

“Is that so?” Tamara raised an eyebrow at him, to which he nodded in response.

“As I have performed well lately, the company is also starting to give me more important tasks. I believe that I will soon be promoted. I’ll treat you guys to a meal by then.”

“Wow! Are you going to be promoted, Daddy? That’s awesome!” Tim interrupted while clapping his hands. Mommy is already suspicious of Daddy’s identity. The truth may be revealed if she continues to question further. Now that Mommy has yet to open her heart to Daddy, the perfect family that I have been looking forward to all this while will certainly go down the drain if she learns that he has been lying to her all along.

Upon hearing Frank’s explanation, Tamara nodded thoughtfully.

Thereafter, her gaze landed on Tim, who was standing beside her. “Tim Randall, shouldn’t you explain to me why you are here?”

Her attention had been focused on Frank earlier, so she had momentarily forgotten about Tim. If it hadn’t been for the boy’s interruption earlier, she wouldn’t have remembered about him.

Mommy called me by my full name, which means I’m screwed! His heart leapt into his mouth. Before he could explain himself, Frank responded on his behalf, “When I was on a call with Harold, Timmy happened to be beside me. As I was on loudspeaker, he heard our conversation. When he heard the two companies’ names, he claimed that you might be in danger so he insisted on tagging along. That was when I learnt that you are the person-in-charge for Colt Enterprise.”

Although Frank had managed to find out some superficial information, he was still confused.

Even if Tamara was the person-in-charge of the Colt Enterprise, she shouldn’t be that wealthy. On top of that, the fact that she was a new hire of the firm was rather baffling as well. There must be other

reasons behind her sudden appearance in Deacon Town after disappearing for five years.

The two of them each had their own queries in mind, but neither of them pressed on.

Meanwhile, Tim held his chest as he stood off to one side. It’s so tough to be a double agent!
