Even though Marlon had backed out of the deal in the end, if Barry had truly deceived him, it wouldn't stop the man from hating Barry!
After all, his wife's life was on the line.
Barry’s face paled slightly as he snapped, “Such a sharp tongue! Who gave you permission to speak to your elder like that?”
“I did. Do you have a problem with that?” Harrison lifted his cold, imposing gaze.
“I won’t stoop to your level!” Barry turned and walked away, his bravado fading.
He had the guts to cause trouble for Harrison, but he didn't dare go too far when confronting his nephew face-to-face.
Watching him leave, Anastasia snorted before pulling Harrison back toward the office.
“You still haven’t answered my question. Why the sudden move into the medical industry?”
Harrison sat down, pulling her onto his lap.
Since she already knew, he didn’t hide it from her anymore.
“You’re going to be a doctor. I don’t want to be completely ignorant of that world. How else can I help you in the future?”
Anastasia was touched, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I can take care of myself, and I have my professor. You don’t need to work so hard for me.”
“It’s not hard,” he said, gazing at her tenderly. “I just set a direction. The people below me will handle the rest.”
Anastasia didn't believe him, but she didn’t say anything more.
Once he made a decision, she knew she couldn’t easily change his mind.
Harrison glanced at the time. It was nearing the end of the workday. He pulled her to her feet. “I want to show you something.”
“What is it?” Anastasia asked, curious.
Harrison didn’t say, simply leading her to the company’s warehouse.
