Still Your Dog? No, I'm Gone novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

“Mr. Layton, you’re flattering me. I just like to be prepared, though I didn’t expect you all to be so cooperative!” I said.

Since things had reached such a point, there was no need for me to maintain pleasantries with

Benson.

Considering how he had tried to screw me over, was there really a need for me to play nice with him? What a joke!

Benson couldn’t say a single word in response. Instead, Camille glared at me and hissed, ” Max, this isn’t over! Just you wait!”

In truth, her angry outburst was just amusing, and I couldn’t even be bothered to answer her.

Once the banquet was over, Cullen, Noah, and I headed out to have a meal together.

Cullen even pulled me aside for a private chat about what lay ahead. He told me about how he had begun to fight for his inheritance, and he advised me to move my company to Govendale as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I would be of no help, considering my current capabilities.

He was just telling me the truth. After all, Maxophia Logistics was just a small startup company, and it wasn’t anything impressive.

“With the Centrise Group’s project under my belt, I believe I’ll be able to grow the business quickly!”

“I’ll be waiting for you,” Cullen said with a smile. Then, he left Govendale with Noah.

Over the next few days, I threw myself into work, and the project progressed quickly. With the Layton family’s logistic chain and my resource allocations, everything progressed smoothly.

Since the Layton family had lost Centrise Group’s support, all of our previous partners

returned to us one after another.

However, Sophia and I had never brought up the matter with them.

Some things did not need to be said, and everyone understood what was left unsaid. In the business industry, preserving other people’s dignity was the biggest grace a person could give.

“I never thought that we’d be able to do it!”

“Cheers!”

Once the project took off smoothly, Sophia dragged me out to celebrate.

“Honestly, I never thought you’d be able to handle the situation flawlessly, I chose the right business partner. I knew I had good instincts!” Sophia exclaimed.

She smiled brightly and kept clinking glasses with me.

Soon, she became tipsy, and her eyes turned hazy as she looked at me. Then, she asked me that question one more time. “Max, what’s your relationship with Quinn? You need to be honest with me!”

Sweat began dripping down my forehead. I thought she had forgotten all about that!

“We really are just friends…” Quinn and I were indeed just friends. It was just that she had a habit of making some wildly inappropriate jokes.

“I don’t believe that! I’ve noticed how she looks at you!” Sophia scoffed, seeming very displeased with my answer. She had even moved to sit right next to me as she fixed her gaze

upon me,

She exclaimed, “Tell me the truth!”
