Chapter112
“Is it? Did I achieve it all by myself? Then what did I achieve it with?” I laughed self–mockingly.
Winston exclaimed, “Don’t be like this, actually you did very well, really, Anton even said you did very well, and you worked very diligently.”
Anton Pruitt?
Is that our Mr. Pruitt?
I looked into the president’s office by passing over his shoulder.
I saw Mr. Pruitt sitting on the chair, smiling at me strangely.
