“T-The contract…” Donovan stuttered. Then, he suddenly turned to Ben with a frown and said, “Something’s not right. How could I not know about such a major development? Who’s in charge of this project? Isn’t this Zoe’s department? Why didn’t she inform me? What is happening?”

he quickly regained his composure and cautiously suggested, “Perhaps Miss Zoe wanted to surprise you? She might’ve signed the contract first and planned to inform you afterward. Should I call her and
