Chapter 541 I Am Back Again
The next person to report was the project manager of another company.
The first four people's presentations had mediocre responses, so the project manager was a little complacent, thinking that their company's bidding plan would win.
Unexpectedly, when the representative of the Orwell Group came on stage, the situation changed greatly. The bidding plan was brilliant, and no error could be picked.
What bloody bad luck he had to do the presentation after the Orwell Group! With such great pressure, the more the project manager spoke, the more he thought their company's bidding plan sucked. Compared to the excellent bidding plan presented by "Finn", it was nothing.
Finn watched all of this through the monitor. His fingers unconsciously tapped on the armrest of the chair. He revealed a satisfied smile on his lips.
Finn thought, Brandon is amazing. No matter what occasion he was asked to attend and whatever he was asked to do, he could make it done perfectly.
Finn could tell from Brandon's spirited face that he was omnipotent.
With such a person taking over the Orwell Group in his place, Finn could die in peace.
Brandon could easily deal with such a large-scale bidding conference. In the future, he would handle the company's various affairs with ease.
However, just when he felt at ease, the phone on the table rang.
Finn wondered, who is calling me at this time?
Finn frowned and immediately became nervous. It was still during the bidding conference. Brandon's identity would be exposed with any carelessness.
Finn stuck his head to take a look. Just at one glance, he was stunned.
Lilia's name was displayed on the screen.
Since he knocked Lilia out and sent her back to Paris, Lilia had never contacted him.
Finn assumed that Lilia was angry or completely disappointed. He did not expect to receive a call from her.
He stared at the flashing caller ID on the screen in a daze, without any intention of answering.
The call was automatically disconnected after too long a time without an answer. A minute later, the phone rang again.
This was repeated several times. Feeling Lilia's persistence, Finn finally pressed the answer button.
After picking it up, Finn did not speak, and neither did Lilia. It was extremely quiet in the receiver. But even so, Finn knew that she was listening.
It was obvious that Lilia was in a fit of pique, but she still called and waited for him to apologize.
Unfortunately, with Finn's physical condition, he was going to die soon, so how could he hold Lilia up?
After a long time, Lilia on the other side of the line finally spoke, "What do you mean?"
It was full of grievances and incomprehension. Why did he send her back to Paris? Why did he suddenly become cold to her? What was going on?
Finn didn't know how to explain it. He had to say in a hoarse voice, "Lilia, I have my difficulties. You will know in the future."
"What difficulties can't you tell me now? Finn, you are living very well. How high-spirited you are! Why did you abandon me?" Lilia complained over the phone.
Finn looked down at himself. His skin was pale, and his wrist was thin. His original healthy body became skinny like a withered vine.
He was afraid that Lilia would see his current appearance.
"You are so enthusiastic about your work. Why don't you love me anymore?" Lilia seemed to be crying because her broken voice was heard from the other side of the line.
When Finn heard the sound of sobbing, his heart immediately ached. At the same time, he heard a sort of familiar voice like a speech.
"Lilia, where are you?" he asked, suddenly having a bad premonition.
"I'm at the scene," Lilia said calmly. "You didn't expect it, did you? I came back again."
"Lilia, didn't I just send you back to Paris? Why didn't you study hard there? Why did you come back?" Finn asked nervously.
"Why are you so nervous? Are you in a relationship with someone else and trying to hide it from me? I just wanted to come back and check out what you are doing here."
Lilia stood in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd and looked at the man sitting in the center of the venue of the Orwell Group.
From where she was, she could see the back of the man's head and half of his face only.
Just now, Brandon went on stage to report with a monitoring earphone. Now he was off the stage, but he was too lazy to take it off. Anyway, it looked the same as a headphone on his ear.
However, from Lilia's point of view, it was that Brandon had put on his Bluetooth earphone to answer her call. In addition, he had the same outfit as Finn's, so she didn't even think of Brandon as a fake. Moreover, who would think that Brandon, who had the same appearance and such a decent temperament, was a double for Finn?
"Are you referring to the scene of the bidding conference?" Finn stood up nervously. The thick blanket covering his body slipped down, revealing his extremely sick and skinny body.
Once he went out like this, it would be seen through by others. He was too weak and thin!
Finn quickly opened his ¡Message interface and sent a message to Brandon.
Finn: "Lilia is also at the scene. Take care."
Brandon adjusted his headset and texted back: "Where is she? Is she coming for you?"
Finn: "I don’t know. Hold on. Let me ask."
"Lilia, where are you?" Finn asked again.
"Are you going to apologize to me?" Lilia said softly. Her voice was with faint anticipation.
"Can you please tell me where you are?" Finn just asked.
Lilia was enraged when she did not receive a satisfactory answer.
She said angrily, "Don't think about coming to me. You can't find me. I won't let you send me back easily again unless you change your mind and come to apologize to me!"
"Lilia, listen to me..."
Before Finn could finish his words, Lilia hung up the phone quickly.
Finn texted Brandon: "She hung up the phone." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Brandon: "Check the monitors and see if you can find her."
Finn sat back on the executive chair. He operated the computer and searched for the figure of Lilia on the monitor.
The bidding conference was very crowded. To monitor the situation at the scene in all locations, his monitor connected with a total of eight cameras.
He quickly browsed through every picture and finally found Lilia's petite figure in a camera at the right lower corner.
