Kapitel 291: Huh? No, that’s not what I meant...

"Partnership?"

Ryan was completely lost, standing there in front of the three of them, trying to make sense of what was going on.

He had just gone to the bathroom for a moment, and suddenly, so much had happened. Had they really just discussed a partnership while he was gone?

"Miss Alice, has the partnership already started?"

Ryan asked Alice directly. This wasn't just Alice's business anymore. The second target of the Dangerous Events had become Ryan himself, so he couldn't afford to be indifferent.

Wasn't Mr. Langston just asking Alice to come over to discuss a potential partnership? How did it suddenly turn into a done deal?

"Miss Alice, it seems your assistant doesn't quite understand how things have developed."

Nella glanced at Ryan, as if trying to figure out whether he was genuinely clueless or just pretending.

She didn't know Alice all that well, but from what she could sense, Alice cared about Ryan in the same way she did.
