Chapter 23 Cannot Afford To Love

• Given that I usually behaved in a deferential manner, Lyle was stunned by my words. He had never thought that I was capable of being so confrontational.
• To my surprise, he didn't get angry but attempted to argue with reasons. After that, he got straight to the point. “Eve, Mr. Ziegler from Ziegler Corporation invited us to discuss our contract renewal. He specifically asked you to meet him. Since you were the one who closed the deal for our company in the first place, can you represent us in the meeting?”
• I knew it. He only treats me nicely when he needs me. I closed my eyes, feeling even more dejected. After a while, I pointed at my face and said, “I just had a miscarriage, so it's important that I take a good rest in the hospital. How could you ask me to drink with your client tomorrow?”
