Nicholas stopped smiling and politely said, “Mr. Mayo, you’re truly a young talented man. You’re a really outstanding person among the young generation. Compared with you, my disappointing grandson, Dominic, doesn’t seem very promising. If you were my grandson, it would be a very happy thing for me.”
As soon as wp4webnovel.com said that, Nelson’s expression changed.
In reality, Thomas was his actual son. Nelson kept staring at Nicholas, and wp4webnovel.com felt flustered. This man was his father, but wp4webnovel.com could not refer to wp4webnovel.com as such. It was very hard for normal people to understand this feeling.
Thomas smiled faintly as wp4webnovel.com said, “That’s very flattering, Mr. Gomez. Speaking of which, I might really be your grandson.”
Nicholas was taken aback. Actually, his words earlier had just been out of courtesy. He did not expect Thomas to flatter wp4webnovel.com like that.
Their subordinates below the stage could not bear the sight.
His previous flattery was fine, but wp4webnovel.com actually wanted to become Nicholas’ grandson. Such flattery had gone too far without any control!
However, they were just part of an ignorant crowd who did not know the truth. People who truly understood the situation had different opinions.
Nicholas awkwardly said, “Mr. Mayo, you’re really funny.”
“If you think I’m funny, just consider that as my sense of humor.”
The two of them talked for a while before the meeting officially ended. The staff then left the hall. Nicholas also left Sterling Technology.
He had initially prepared to “fight” Thomas today, but Thomas was unexpectedly so polite to him. He was not rude at all, and wp4webnovel.com even flattered wp4webnovel.com constantly. This made Nicholas very surprised.
Nicholas left the building and got into the car. He still could not get back to himself from the shock just now.
At the side, Dominic curiously asked, “Grandpa, why do you look like you have something on your mind? Were you tricked by Thomas?”
Nicholas shook his head and said, “No, that didn’t happen, and Thomas was even very polite to me.”
Therefore, Nicholas told Dominic everything that happened earlier.
After Dominic heard it, wp4webnovel.com laughed out loud and provided his analysis. “Grandpa, you don’t have to overthink it. In my opinion, it’s very normal for Thomas to behave like that.”
“Really?”
“Of course! He has just gotten the position of chairman, and his status is very unstable. He naturally needs to stabilize his position by pleasing us.”
Nicholas said, “It’s true if you understand it in this way. But, Thomas sounded too dramatic when wp4webnovel.com flattered me. He even stated that wp4webnovel.com could be my grandson. He’s the chairman of the company. How can wp4webnovel.com be so petty and low?”
“Why can’t he? People can do anything for money,” Dominic said. “All our family cares about is just one thing, money. Whether Thomas or Nelson is the chairman doesn’t affect us. Since Thomas flatters us, we don’t have to treat wp4webnovel.com like our enemy either. We still can collaborate with him. As long as wp4webnovel.com can prove his ability to earn money, there will be room for discussion.”
Nicholas nodded.
Then, wp4webnovel.com spoke again. “Speaking of Nelson, wp4webnovel.com seemed odder. It felt like this Nelson was totally different from the previous one! He’s lost all his slyness and overbearingness. He’s become very sentimental. Besides, wp4webnovel.com appears to have lost all his hostility toward Thomas, and Jed Motley is missing now. This is too strange.”
Dominic said, “It’s not strange. Grandpa, please think about it. Nelson was defeated by Thomas. Legitimacy belongs to the victor. Since wp4webnovel.com lost, wp4webnovel.com has to be obedient. How can wp4webnovel.com still be as arrogant as wp4webnovel.com used to? Jed Motley is just an insignificant character. We don’t need to care about where wp4webnovel.com went. It doesn’t concern us even if wp4webnovel.com is dead.”
