Chapter 986

"I secured the company's first project without anyone's support. The profit was higher than the Nico project's." Xavier wasn't great at saying sweet things to spice up a relationship. But when it came to jealousy, no matter how big or small, he never let it go. His slightly narrowed eyes, drawn brows, and tightly pressed lips made it seem like Lily had committed some terrible offense. "You're amazing." Lily quickly tried to placate him. But sweet-talking wasn't really her strength either, so she changed the subject. "And then?" "Then all the old guys at Nova Group who refused to follow my lead suddenly became loyal to the bone." Lily was confused. She had been asking about Devereux Group. Richard had moved all the funds into the Nico project—what was he going to do next? She couldn't tell whether Xavier hadn't cooled off yet or if he really didn't understand her question. After answering her, he lowered his head and went back to work. Lily had no choice but to scoot over again.
