Chapter 1380: Why Did You Take So Long to Answer My Call?
Hearing Beckett Yates say that the people from AK company have already arrived in Flame City, Thomas Fisher stood up abruptly and asked, "Is this information reliable?"
The previous information was that the people from the other company would only arrive tomorrow morning; he didn’t expect them to arrive today.
"Very reliable." Beckett Yates spoke with a tone full of assurance.
Thomas Fisher took the phone from his ear and glanced at it. It was already 11:55 at night. If he went over now, he would definitely disturb them.
"Got it." He decided to go over first thing in the morning to meet the people from the company. After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.
"Mr. Fisher! It seems your friend Benjamin Shaw is also interested in this cooperation case with AK company." After saying this, Beckett Yates didn’t dare say anything more and waited quietly for Thomas Fisher’s response.
Just when he was about to hang up, Thomas Fisher’s brows furrowed suddenly upon hearing Beckett Yates’ comment, "Why haven’t I heard about this before?"
Since meeting Benjamin Shaw at Ryan Taylor’s wedding, Thomas Fisher hadn’t seen Benjamin Shaw in a long time, nor had they contacted each other in any way. He had been fully focused on negotiating a partnership with AK, with no thought for anything else.
"There wasn’t a single piece of information before. I just happened to see Mr. Shaw’s assistant at the Garden Hotel. He was on the phone with Mr. Shaw. I leaned in to listen and found out that the Shaw group is interested in this cooperation." Beckett Yates reported in full detail his method and process of obtaining the information to Thomas Fisher. He wasn’t looking for praise from his boss but wanted his boss to know he was telling the truth.
After hearing Beckett Yates’ report, Thomas Fisher suddenly fell silent. The news was very unexpected for him, not because another company was competing with him, but because the person competing with him turned out to be Benjamin Shaw.
"Mr. Fisher! Are you listening?" Not hearing any response for a while, Beckett Yates spoke out again.
"I understand, keep an eye on their next moves." Upon hearing Beckett Yates’ voice again, Thomas Fisher gathered his thoughts and responded.
This time, he didn’t give the other side another chance to speak. After saying his piece, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Thomas Fisher didn’t put his phone away; he immediately dialed Benjamin Shaw’s number.
"Thomas! What’s up calling me so late?" The phone rang for a long time before Benjamin Shaw answered.
Thomas Fisher glanced at the time displayed on his computer before speaking slowly, "Why did it take you so long to answer my call? What were you busy with just now?"
So late at night, he was busy with matters of cooperation. He thought the person on the other end must be occupied with similar matters. However, he couldn’t understand why, even while busy, it took Benjamin so long to answer a call.
"I was taking a shower; when I heard the phone ringing, I rushed out." Although he couldn’t see Thomas Fisher through the phone, Benjamin Shaw could clearly sense Thomas Fisher’s blaming tone, so he quickly explained.
He was indeed showering. It was only after turning off the shower that he heard his phone ringing. Hearing the ring, he didn’t have time to dry off, wrapped himself in a towel, and came out.
After hearing Benjamin Shaw’s explanation, Thomas Fisher didn’t dwell on the matter. Hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Ben! Are you also interested in the cooperation case with AK company?"
