NovelXXX"Yes. She rattled off the pros and cons. I didn't understand a word of it, but somehow, I managed to muddle through. The problem is, I am not the decision maker. What if she follows up and presses me?" Garland said.
Juan muttered, "Her company is doing well. Why would she need to work with you?" "I don't know." "Did something go wrong with her company?" "I've no idea." "Is the Buchan Group targeting them?" "I'm not sure." Frustrated, Juan rubbed his temples. "You had a meeting. Surely, you remember something." Garland recalled it. "Well, she said something about Theda trying to get their hands on the shares of the Nichols Group. Then she said Theda couldn't get them. In the end, she proposed to work withto dominate overseas and Seamar City markets. I told her I'd take it back to the company for discussion, but she hitwith this thing aboutbeing the sole decision-maker for overseas operations. I panicked and said we didn't have any assets in Seamar City. Then she dropped the bomb that we've had a branch here for over a decade. I had to backpedal to avoid blowing my cover. It was a close call." Juan fell silent.

Did she get it wrong?" Juan let out a long, exasperated sigh. "She has doubted your identity. That whole conversation was a trap, and you walked right into it. You gave yourself away with that rookie-level mistake. You're such a brilliant protégé." "What the hell? I treated her like a friend, and she setup?" Garland's voice rose in indignation.
If Debra found out he was passing himself off as Fermin, it would be disastrous.
Bert would definitely punish him.
He paced frantically. "You've got to helpfix this. I did all this for you.
Otherwise, my dad will kill me." Juan sulked, "You're the one causing problems forright now." With Garland's exposure, his peaceful things were officially over.
Fermin's death was a closely guarded secret. If word got out, the Eaton family could face chaos from both within and outside.

"Confess that you're Fermin. But you must not breathe a word about his avo death." "How am I supposed to explain it?" "Tell them you were just fooling around. Spin it in a way that makes you harmless to Debra. She'll still see you as a friend."
Garland groaned, slumping into the chair. For the sake of the biggerm sake of t picture, he said, "I see." The call ended.
That evening, Garland knocked on the door to Debra and Marion's room.
The three of them stared at one another. The silence lasted a full ten e minutes.
