Chapter 788:
Colson looked even more surprised, as if he wanted to laugh in amusement.
“Mr. Johns, you must be joking, right? Haven’t we already signed the contract?”
Dane’s brows furrowed in confusion.
“Contract? Mr. Gray, maybe you’re mistaken. We didn’t sign anything with you.” He wondered if something was wrong with these people’s minds.
Colson’s face darkened.
He took out a document and placed it on the desk.
“Mr. Johns, take a look for yourself.”
“What is going on with you? Don’t tell me you haven’t prepared the raw materials for us.”
Dane skimmed the document, and sure enough, it had their company’s official stamp.
“No, this can’t be right. I don’t remember signing anything like this!” His face paled, tension flickering across his features.
“Mr. Johns, today’s the big day for this deal, and now you’re saying you’ve never worked with us? Are you seriously trying to pull a fast one on us? I didn’t expect the well-respected Johns Group to behave in such a manner.
If you didn’t prepare the materials, you should’ve just owned up to it instead of playing dumb.” Colson’s voice rose, anger simmering beneath the surface.
His frustration was mirrored by his assistant, who stood beside him with a scowl.
“Mr. Johns, Mr. Gray came all the way from Aswil, and this is how you treat him?”
“What’s going on?” Hector’s voice cut through the tension as he entered the room.
“I heard shouting. What’s the issue?”noveldrama
“Hector, perfect timing. Tell me, didn’t we agree in that meeting not to go ahead with this collaboration?” Dane asked.
Hector’s brow furrowed in confusion.
“Mr. Johns, what are you talking about?”
“They’re saying we signed this contract, but I never put my stamp on it! This has to be some kind of forgery,” Dane insisted.
Before Colson could reply, Hector spoke up, his tone calm but firm.
“Mr. Johns, have you been so busy that you forgot?”
Dane frowned.
“What do you mean by that?”
Hector responded, “I saw you stamp that contract with my own eyes. How can you say you didn’t? I even reminded you about the materials recently, and yet you still haven’t gotten them ready?”
Dane stared at Hector in disbelief, but Hector pressed on, his tone serious.
