Chapter 262
Adrian Sinclair returned to his office.
He removed his suit jacket.
He sank into the sofa.
The office was silent.
He suddenly picked up his phone.
He dialed a number.
In the garden.
Grandpa Frederick was being pushed for a walk by Henry.
The phone ringtone broke the silence.
"It's Adrian."
Grandpa glanced at the screen.
He pressed the answer button.
"Grandpa."
Adrian's voice was low.
"Have you considered Uncle Howard coming to the main company?"
Grandpa's eyes flickered.
He exchanged a look with Henry.
Henry lowered his gaze without speaking.
"Why ask about this so suddenly?"
Grandpa squinted toward the flower beds.
His tone held curiosity.
Adrian chuckled lightly.
"I hope Uncle Howard can come."
He looked out the window.
A cold glint passed through his eyes.
He had to find out.
What secret existed between Anna Ross and Howard Lowell.
Grandpa was silent for a moment.
He finally sighed.
"You decide."
The call ended.
Grandpa shook his head with a sigh.
"What is that child really planning?"
Henry continued pushing the wheelchair forward.
"Young people have their own plans."
"The sunlight is nice today. You should walk more."
Grandpa smiled.
He said nothing more.
Anna Ross reapplied her lipstick.
She took a deep breath.
She returned to her workstation.
She lowered her head to handle documents.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Adrian approaching.
She immediately held her breath.
Adrian walked straight past.
He didn't look at her once.
Anna's heart sank.
An inexplicable pressure weighed on her.
Suddenly, Lucas Evans appeared.
He waved at her with a smile.
"Anna."
Anna was somewhat surprised.
"What are you doing here?"
"Discussing follow-up cooperation."
Lucas smiled warmly.
"The previous matter has been resolved."
As soon as the words fell.
Adrian walked out of his office again.
He tapped on her desk.
"Come with me to the conference room."
His voice was cold.
"Your participation is needed for the cooperation."
