Chapter 1733 There Was No Way He Would Not Come
Xander lowered his gaze and looked at the view outside the window before he spoke, "LancerCorporation, my office."
"Okay. I'll come over. Have the antidote ready, Mr. Lancer."
Byron promptly agreed without hesitation.
Just as he was about to hang up, Xander's voice came through.
"Oh, I forgot to mention this. Miss Jacobs doesn't have much time left. If you’re in a hurry, you mustcome to my office within 20 minutes.”
Byron was already on his way. He replied while he walked, "I will."
He would find a way to rush there even if he was given only ten minutes!
A cold glint flashed across Xander's eyes. He added, "By the way, the elevators in our company havebeen out of order for the past few days. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience, PresidentLawrence. You'll have to climb the stairs. And remember, you must make it within 20 minutes!"
Byron's expression darkened, but he immediately responded, "I'll depart now if there are no otherrequests from you.”
Xander smirked and replied, "I won't delay you any further. I'll be waiting for you on the top floor."
He hung up the call right after that.
Xander burst into hearty laughter as he looked outside the window that overlooked the entire city. Hethought about Byron's struggle to climb the stairs.
"Byron, how dare you fool me?! I'll let you have a taste of the feeling of being toyed with by the lowesttricks! I'll make you taste the bitterness of swallowing your pride and being inferior!"
His assistant grew tense upon witnessing his madness behind him.
Suddenly, Xander turned around to look at him and questioned him, "Why aren't you laughing?"
The assistant trembled. He nervously looked around, unsure of how to respond.novelbin
He simply could not force himself to laugh…
“President Lawrence of Lawrence Corporation, who used to be so proud and mighty, now looks like aclown as I trample all over him. He doesn’t dare to reject my requests. He won’t say no even if heknows I'm playing with him. Isn't that amusing?"
Xander's eyes gleamed with madness. "Laugh! When Byron arrives, you must present yourself likeyou’re nobler than him!"
The assistant forced an awkward smile.
Xander finally sat back at his desk with satisfaction when he saw his assistant smile. He toyed with thevial in his hands, awaiting Byron's arrival.
The computer screen in front of him displayed the surveillance footage of the entrance to LancerCorporation.
"20 minutes. Byron, you’d better not be late.”
Xander glanced at the corner where the clock was placed. Then, he fixed his gaze unwaveringly on thescreen.
He would have a new reason to torment him if Byron was a minute late!
Byron would have no choice but to kneel down and lick his shoes if he asked him to!
As the seconds ticked away, it had already been over ten minutes.
However, there was still no sign of Byron on the screen.
Xander started to grow restless.
Was Byron really coming?
However, judging from his tone on the phone earlier, Rosalie's condition must be critical. They probablyhad not developed the antidote yet!
There was no way Byron would not come!
Xander forced himself to calm down at the thought of it and kept his eyes fixed on the screen, waitingfor Byron.
