Chapter 178
Though August comforted himself by this thought, he still felt the anger was stuck in his heart and couldn't be released out.
He frowned with an aura of aggressive chill.
At this time, there came a knocking on the door.
Then he heard Burton's voice,"
President Adams."
The door was pushed open and Burton strode in with a serious face.
He came to August and said in a low voice, "President Adams, I got a call from Bob just now.
He said Bishop wanted to meet you."
Without any hesitation, August rejected it with a cold voice, "No."
Bishop and he both knew clearly how bad their relationship was, so it was unnecessary to pretend as the intimate brothers now and then.
Burton hesitated a while and continued, "Bob said Bishop would tell you some important information about Ted."
On hearing this name, August's eyes became hard.
After a pause, he asked in a cold voice,"
Where shall we meet?"
"The Copper-Cuppa."
After hesitation for two seconds, August changed his idea.
With his tensed back and pressed lips he opened the mouth indifferently, "Tell him I agree."
He didn’t want to miss any information about Ted.
Until he audited the subsidiary’s accounts, he came to learn how many dirty businesses Ted had done under the table in the name of Lion Group.
He couldn't feel easy without catching Ted.
"Get it."
Burton nodded and went to drive the car at once.
Standing by the window of the reception room, August had a panoramic view of Austos City's south part through the glass, unconsciously losing in the memory of years ago.
He remembered their first meet.
At that time, his father took Christina and 16-year-old Bishop home...
That was a scene he would never forget.
How time flies.
Several years have passed.
The car stopped beside him.
August's face returned to indifference as usual and he put on the coat, buttoned it with one hand and walked out quickly.
No matter what Bishop intended to do, he would go to meet him.
When arriving at the Copper-Cuppa, they gave their names at the front desk.
A waitress in cheongsam immediately took them to a room named as "Clear Water and Blue Sky"
on the third floor.
They opened the door and August walked in the quaint room.
There was a screen in the middle, through which August could see a figure with a vague side face.
He strode forward and around the screen, and saw Bishop sit in the side sofa and Bob stand beside him.
Without a word, August took the opposite seat and looked at him with cold eyes, "Just tell me now."
Bishop put on a little smile, gave Bob a gesture of pouring tea and said softly, "Brother, please sip the tea first, which is the famous Longjing Tea picked before Qingming Festival."
August's face clouded over, the black and bright eyes watching the opposite man, and then said coldly, "I have no time to have tea and chat with you.
Since you call me first, you must know why I come here."
Except Ted's location, he had no interest in anything else.
With his smile fading, Bishop casually took a cup of tea in front of him and sipped, "Brother, since I get you here, I will tell you sooner or later."
He looked up at August and said quietly, "As a member of our family, I also care about its situation.
I heard something about Ted upset you recently, so I take much time to investigate it."
Then he paused.
A quiet moment later, he continued, "
Eventually I find where Ted hides."
A touch of coldness flashed on August's face and disappeared in his black eyes.
Several seconds later, he asked calmly, "Just get to the point, what do you want to do?"
Bishop tried so hard to get him here, and told him he knew Ted's hiding place, which was a key information for him, so he must be up to do something. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Bishop chuckled with clear eyes, looking like there was a purest soul in it.
He said softly, "Nothing.
Father always hopes I could take part in the management of Lion Group, so I think maybe you could give me a chance."
After a pause, he played with the jade-colored tea cup and kept on,"
I have found out where Ted is, so it proves I am not a useless man, dose it, brother?"
August felt an invisible threat in his unaggressive words.
His intuition told him there was a sophisticated soul behind the gentle and harmless face.
He looked down, sweeping the clear tea in front of him, and said coldly, "Say it clearly."
Why not go straight to the point.? Bishop smiled slightly and said slowly"
I want to be the deputy president.
If you agree, I will tell you Ted’s hiding place."
What an ambition! How dare he aim at the position of deputy president in the beginning.
August sniffed at his words and said mockingly and coldly,"
You think you are qualified?"
Managing the Lion Group was no joke.
He had gone through so many father's tests to gradually promote to the president.
How dare Bishop ask to take the deputy president as his first position.
Bishop said softly, "Brother, I know I am not qualified now, but father always said only experience could make one grow, didn’t you forget it?"
That he talked about their father time and time again made August's eyes more chilled.
At last, he looked up impatiently and casted a glare at him with disdain,"
Since you desire the position, why not directly tell father and ask him to give it to you!"
After saying that, August didn’t bother to tell a word to him.
He stood up without any hesitation, swept the opposite man, and walked out.
It was not worth putting an outsider in the management in order to get Ted's hiding place.
He was not so stupid.
On hearing the door was slammed, Bishop's face became clouded instantly.
Seeing that Bishop was slowly clenching his fists, Bob couldn't help but ask,"
Sir, you knew he wouldn't agree, why bother to do it?"
Bishop snorted coldly and said with dangerous and cold light glowing in his eyes, "My real aim is to sound out him rather than to get the position of deputy president."
He did it not only for sounding out him, but also for making him confused.
Since he would like to tell August where Ted was, it at least proved he was not Ted's partner.
Bob's eyes changed a little, and asked another question,"
Then what are we going to do with Ted? He is hiding somewhere in this country, but what if he is caught by August..."
There was no change on Bishop's face, but he whispered,"
If he dares to disobey me, just kill him at a crisis."
Ted was no more than a useless man for him.
At this time, his phone on the table vibrated.
He turned on the screen and read the message from Mandy,"
Mr.Adams, Lightning doesn't eat anything.
Is it ill?"
Lightning was his red-brow parrot.
Bishop looked at the question full of worry on the screen, raising an eyebrow.
He suddenly felt Mandy cared the bird more than him in comparison.
After a pause, the chill on his face gradually dissipated.
He looked at Bob by his side and said softly,"Let's go home."
