All Her Secrets



Chapter 998 You Did Owe Me Money

The project leader was so scared that he almost passed out when he saw the situation.

He couldn't care about Audrey's popularity in the industry and immediately jumped out to defend his own boss." Ms. Swann, Mr. Lambert is here to pay a visit because he admires you. But isn't it a bit too much for you to act all high and mighty like this?"

'He admires me?' thought Audrey. She didn't believe a word of that.

She knew her attitude was not good. She definitely wouldn't have this attitude if it were someone else today. But it happened to be Triston.

When Audrey still had a stony face and didn't say anything, the project leader started to get impatient and was about to speak but was stopped by Triston.

He looked around with a cool attitude, making everyone think he was about to get mad. But then he said to the project leader, "All of you can go. I'll have a chat with Ms. Swann alone." 

The project leader was stunned for a moment but then quickly reacted and immediately left the meeting room. Kim glanced at Audrey. After getting her signal, he went out. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

Audrey's goal was simple: she just wanted to take this opportunity to clear things up to avoid any further confusion between them.

Kim had just walked out of the meeting room when he was stopped by the project leader.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The project leader was not quick to react just now.

When he got kicked out, he formed an idea. He stared at Kim curiously, trying to gather some intel. "Kim, do you know if Ms. Swann is acquainted with Mr. Lambert?"

Kim gave him a disdainful look, feeling very unimpressed deep down.

These two are more than just acquaintances. They're practically sworn enemies,' he said inwardly.

However, he was not interested in telling the project leader about this past gossip and didn't want him to misunderstand Audrey for being arrogant.

So, he hinted at something indirectly. "Who do you think is Mr. Lambert's closest and most influential brother? You should have a pretty good idea as his employee, right?"

The project leader immediately nodded proudly. "Of course, Mr. Lambert's best bro is definitely the president of the Duncan Corporation."

Everyone in Casier knew about the Duncan Corporation, not to mention now the Duncan Corporation's business was becoming more globalized.

"That's right," Kim agreed with a nod. "You know Catherine Swann, the president's wife? That's Audrey's sister. Do you think Audrey and Mr. Lambert are not close? There shouldn't be so many formalities when friends meet, right?

The project leader was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.

He was all smiles as he dragged Kim along, inviting him to grab a bite. "Oh, I see; in that case, let them talk, and we can go eat."

In the conference room, Triston sat back in his chair, his good-looking eyes full of interest as he gazed at Audrey in front of him.

Seeing her angry face, he found it really amusing. "You're so unhappy to see me? You smile at everyone but give me a nasty look. I'd think I owe you money if I didn't know any better."

Audrey glanced at him and said impatiently. "Don't even talk about it. You did owe me money."

She was so pissed off seeing Triston acting all casual like this. If it weren't for him going crazy last night, she wouldn't have to chug iced coffee to reduce the swelling early in the morning. Thanks to this guy, her next month's period was about to be all messed up again.

Triston was a bit stunned. He admitted that he owed Audrey quite a bit.

But he definitely didn't owe her money.

Even if he were broke, he wouldn't owe money to a woman.

But he actually became interested when Audrey said that. "Then go ahead and tell me what money I owe you," he said.
