In another private room at Lushwoods Inn, Arlo Seys' hand holding the phone trembled slightly, panic flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stood up, forcefully pushing the chair aside as he headed out.
Arlo Seys' abrupt and intense reaction startled everyone at the table; they looked at each other, afraid to voice their questions.
"President Seys, what happened? Where are you going?"
Callan Walkers called out anxiously behind him.
As if he hadn't heard, Arlo Seys swiftly exited the private room, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"What happened? I've never seen President Seys so panicked before."
Everyone at the table turned their questioning gazes toward Arlo Seys' assistant, Callan Walkers.
Callan was also clueless about what had gone wrong with his boss. The contract was almost signed, yet his boss left without a word, abandoning the CEO of their partner company — that's standing them up! Boss, are you really giving up on a deal worth billions?
