“No need for the trouble.” Brodie immediately whipped out a pen from his pocket and offered it to Sheldon. “I

brought one with me. Please use mine, Mr. Guerrero.”

Sheldon's expression darkened.

This f**king idiot! Is he planning to force me to sign the contract?

Faced with such a situation, Sheldon had no choice but to sign it.

“Here you go. I'll be taking my leave now as I still have work to settle.”

He spun around and called for the elevator.

“Wait, Mr. Guerrero.” Brodie stopped him. “You haven't paid me the rent yet.”

Sheldon cussed Brodie in his mind again. “I'll have to go through the finance department to authorize and transfer

that payment. Unfortunately, the manager in charge is not around today, and anyone less doesn't have the

authority to approve such a large payment.”

“How about this? I'll write you a check.”

After a brief hesitation, Brodie nodded. “That'll work.”

Sheldon reached for the checkbook tucked in his pocket, flipped it open, and began to fill it. “There should be no

problems after this, I presume. I'll be returning to my work then.” He handed the check to Brodie.

“No problem.” Brodie nodded fervently with a wide smile. “It was a pleasure doing business with you, Mr.

Guerrero.”

“The pleasure is mine,” Sheldon returned, then entered the waiting elevator.

Brodie walked toward Zeke, waving the check in front of the latter with a triumphant look. “Anything more you want

to say, Williams?”

“Prepare the money, or I'll break your leg.”

Zeke challenged, “Are you so sure that you've won?”

“He signed the contract. Are you saying that was fake? Don't tell me you're planning to go back on your words.”

Brodie cussed.

Zeke asked, “The contract, where is it?”

Brodie's entire body stiffened when he realized Sheldon had taken both copies of the contract with him.

Brodie rebuked, “Mr. Guerrero must have accidentally taken both copies of the contract. I'll ask for it back later.”

Zeke wasn't buying his explanation. “Sheldon accidentally took it away? I'm afraid it was intentional.”

“Hey Williams, I'm speculating that you don't have a brain,” Brodie mocked.

“Why does Mr. Guerrero need so many copies of the contract? He already paid me. It's pointless for him to take

away the extra copy.

“So he must have taken it by accident.”

Zeke continued to question, “Have you checked if the check is valid?”

“What bull are you trying to pull? Of course, it's valid. I watched Mr. Guerrero sign it myself. Are you saying my eyes

are playing tricks on me?”

Zeke said casually, “The check is only valid with a stamp. I see that this check doesn't have one, other than a

signature. Without a stamp, it's nothing more than a paper.”

“Huh?”

Brodie instantly examined the check carefully. His hands began to sweat and tremble when he was done.

There's no stamp on the check. This check isn't valid.

A sheen of sweat had covered his forehead. Yet, he still tried to assure himself. “I'm sure Mr. Guerrero has just

forgotten to stamp it. I'll bring it to him immediately.”

Zeke stopped him. “I advise you not to do that. It's pointless.”

“Shut up!”

Brodie barked, “Do you take everyone to be as foul as you? Mr. Guerrero wouldn't have gone back on his words for

a mere one point two million.”

Zeke said casually, “I see you're not going to believe me until you see it for yourself. I'll tell you the truth then, Mr.

Turner.

“It was us who had gotten Project Mitxel and not Sheldon.

“Without Project Mitxel, why would he lease a building? It was obvious that he was going back on his verbal

agreement with you.”

“No! Shut your mouth!”

Brodie's face was red from the anger. “I believe in Mr. Guerrero. He's not that kind of person. I'll ask him to stamp

the check now.”

He didn't wait for the elevator and took the stairs instead, dashing for Sheldon's office urgently.

He prayed hard on his way, hoping Zeke was lying.

When he arrived at his destination, Sheldon wasn't surprised to see him, as though the former was expecting him.

“Mr. Turner, what a rare guest. May I ask the reason for your visit?”
