Chapter 559: Chapter 559
Thinking she had misheard, she listened to Wesley Foley articulate every word, "I said, I know the purpose of your coming to the company,"
Titus Zane was astonished, not knowing when he had slipped up and been discovered by Foley during his silent contemplation; Foley then revealed the mystery with a single phrase.
"The company is equipped with all-encompassing, no-blind-spot pinhole cameras." Thus, his every word and action, including his conversation with Linda, were all within Foley’s grasp.
Thinking back to the time he worked under this meticulous and calculating man adept at disguise, Titus Zane felt a chill across his back and was once again grateful that his compassionate heart has saved him.
If he had actually stolen the design drawings from the company at that time, he shuddered to think how Wesley Foley would have dealt with him...
"What about Linda, is Linda still working at the company?" he asked without thinking, and Foley’s voice became serious through the receiver.
"She attempted to steal important corporate secrets, was caught, and I’ve reported it to the authorities."
"Haha," a light chuckle, Titus Zane couldn’t clearly describe his feelings at the moment, "Why didn’t you call the cops on me back then?"
Wasn’t it clear what his purpose was? Since he was figured out early on, why keep him, a security risk, close by? Could it be that for these successful men, they are just so keen on playing a game of cat and mouse?
"You’re kinder than she is." Wesley Foley’s deep voice carried an indefinable emotion, "That’s why... I was moved."
Lowering his gaze, Titus Zane’s lifted lips couldn’t be distinguished as self-mockery or bitterness; he felt like being made a fool of.
"Director Foley, I’m flattered by your misguided affection... Rest assured, I won’t mention the past," thus, it wouldn’t affect the cooperation between him and his uncle.
Slowly moving the phone away from his ear, Titus Zane hung up, sat in front of the bed with eyes lowered, completely masking his emotions. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱
The phone in his palm vibrated twice, signaling the arrival of a message; sliding open the touchscreen, a few lines of text came into view.
...my pursuit of you, half was a probe, half was uncontrollable emotions... Before meeting again, I still fantasized that one day you and Director Moore... I would pursue you again, but now it seems... it’s always been me looking up to you, and finally, I want to tell you, for you, I... really was moved...
Looking at those lines, Titus Zane curled his lips again; although he hadn’t stolen any corporate secrets from Wesley Foley, he always felt guilty because he let down his regard. Now... he finally didn’t have to feel guilty anymore, because while deceiving, Foley was just as insincere.
Raising his head, looking ahead as he thought, Titus Zane picked up his phone again and immediately blocked the number that had sent the message, then spread his arms and lay back on the bed, feeling a sense of relief.
He wanted to call Sister Hua and ask about Linda’s situation, but after hesitating, he decided not to take action. Since he had parted with that organization, it was better not to be involved any longer.
After lying there for a while, before going to sleep, he sent a WeChat message to Nathan Moore.
...Nathan Moore, would you deceive me?
After sending the message, Titus Zane stared at his phone, yet there was no reply for a long time.
Browsing through Weibo and the news out of boredom, waiting for a reply from Nathan Moore, only when he was about to turn off the webpage and go to sleep, did his phone flash.
Hastily opening WeChat, two characters appeared before his eyes.
A simple pair of characters, exuding firmness.
His lips unconsciously curved into a smile, his index finger endlessly caressed those two characters on the touchscreen, and even when asleep, Titus Zane’s lips were slightly upturned.
