The people from Clark Corporation all had radiant faces, clearly something good or happy had happened...
So... the crowd stiffly turned their heads back, their inquiring gazes falling on James Reed's face, hoping to glean some insight from his expression.
"James Reed, could it be that you didn't get the cooperation with Peace Corporation?" Emerie was always the most straightforward, shouting out the question everyone had in mind.
James Reed's face immediately turned black, wishing he could slap Emerie dead.
This idiot!
"Hmm." James squeezed a word out through gritted teeth.
As soon as the word was out, James immediately felt the surrounding people's gazes change from admiration and flattery to disdain and contempt, stabbing into him like steel needles.
"What's going on?" Ethan Seymour was so shocked, it was as if he'd fallen into an ice cave, his whole body turning ice cold.
James bit his teeth and said nothing.
