Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1288 Kicked Her Out of the Project

Last time, hotel, waking up.

Those three words flashed in Sadie's mind like a neon sign. It was clear Micah hadn't missed his chance to hook up with Olivia that last time. The thought made Sadie squirm, but she forced a smirk, trying to look unfazed and dismissive. Micah caught her reaction and felt a twinge of irritation. Switching gears abruptly, he said, "Set up a time for me."

Andrew, caught off guard for a second, quickly nodded, "Sure thing."

Speaking into his phone, Andrew continued, "Ms. Graham, I'll check Mr. Clemens' schedule and get back to you with a time, alright?"

"Okay, okay." Olivia's voice was practically buzzing. "Was that Mr. Clemens just now? Is he right there with you?"

Andrew glanced at Micah through the rearview mirror and replied, "Yes, I'm driving right now. We'll get back to you soon."

"Great, I'll be waiting." Olivia sounded thrilled. "Please send my regards to Mr. Clemens."

"Will do," Andrew said and hung up.

The air in the car got thick real quick.

Even without a word, the tension between the two in the back was palpable.

Annika shot a look at Andrew, who just shrugged as if to say, 'Hey, I'm just doing my job.'

Sadie stared at her phone, trying to hide her tangled emotions.

She felt a knot in her stomach but reminded herself that she and Micah were done. Whoever he was with now was none of her business; she had no right to care. "Did you hear the news?" Micah suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Sadie looked at him, puzzled.

"Duke Louis wants you off the gym project. The papers are on my desk, just waiting for my signature." Micah said coolly, "What do you think?"

"If he doesn't want me to quit, I still want to quit." Sadie said flatly, "I don't want to deal with Duke Louis anymore."

Thinking about the Craig couple made Sadie fume. Those two were the definition of sneaky.

"Looks like Tristan still hasn't taught you well." Micah sneered.

"What do you mean?" Sadie frowned.

"Tristan's in hot water. The James Group is in deep trouble. Haven't you thought about your future?" Micah said, looking at her with disdain.

"Tristan left me plenty." Sadie said calmly, "I won't just sit around. I'll definitely make my mark in the business world, but I'm taking it slow for now to avoid any slip-ups."

"Weak." Micah said coldly, "If I'm not wrong, your shares in the James Group have probably been taken back; otherwise, Tristan's enemies would be all over you by now. You're still safe, not just because of Jesse's protection but also because you're not a big threat to them. Plus, Tristan's three kids are all girls and have no inheritance rights!"

"So what?" Sadie looked at him, confused. "What's your point?"

Micah explained, "The gym project is already rolling. You put money in early on, and even though you don't own much, it's all legit. If you get booted now and it goes public, the business world will see you as a joke. It'll be tough for you to make a name for yourself later."

He added, "But maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe Tristan left you enough, and you just want a quiet life, which is fine. Besides, taking on the Louis family with your current skills won't be a walk in the park."

After saying this, Micah casually opened a bottle of water and took a sip.

Sadie stayed silent, her eyes downcast, lost in thought.

Of course, she didn't want to be kicked out of the project. Craig was clearly messing with her on purpose.
