Chapter 725

A man's voice came through the phone. "Did you get the documents? Just a heads-up. Don't use email or your phone to send it. How about you send me a toy, like a plushie, and hide the memory card inside?" Paul sighed. "They let me go." The line went quiet for a bit, and then the person on the other end shouted, "Why? You owe me an explanation!" Paul cautiously replied, "It's because of her." The voice on the other end got a lot more agitated. "Do you have any idea how much I've spent to build up your credential? I went through all the trouble to make you a top-tier candidate and even got two academicians to vouch for you. How could you throw that all away for a woman?" Paul found himself drenched in cold sweat. "Apologies. I didn't think this would happen. I slipped up, and it won't happen again." A scoff came through the line with a warning tone. "This time, I'll let it slide. But you'd better watch yourself from now on. Mess up again, and you're done. You know what that means."
