Chapter 67 - One word of him was enough

Upon seeing Alexandre, Jacques uttered. "Why are you here already?"

With a grin, he turned to face Alexandre. He was annoyed. Tonight's fun would be over if Alexandre decided to stay.

Instead, Emile tried his best to save the mood. "But man, how rare is it that you come early? What's your reason?"

Alexandre's face darkened. He didn't want to be here himself. The room smelled of cigarettes and cheap perfume.

The women didn't want to leave. Some of them even blushed when they looked at him. He was annoyed by the feminine charm that was cheaply displayed. They sat in intimate poses next to his friends, but made their intentions very clear to him. He was more than disgusted by this scene by this time. If he had no reason. He wouldn't have come at all.

"Has the Drouet family been working on business projects with one of you?"

"The Drouet? Why?" Emile was curious about why Alexandre would suddenly meet them to ask them directly about the Drouets. It was strange because he didn't usually deal with such small companies.

A sudden thought came to him. "Isn't your wife's ex from the Drouet family?" Suddenly Alexandre glared at him. Told him with a single glance to watch his words.

Emile understood that Alexandre was someone who did not fall in love easily. But when he did fall in love, he easily lost control. He remembered. In the past, Alexandre was madly in love with a girl. He had wanted to marry her. Although they hardly knew each other. She wasn't even from the right background. With his first love, he had almost split his whole family. But no one expected his first love to turn into such a tragedy.

The grief of her passing had almost broken him. Emile didn't know how much truth was behind the rumors about Alexandre's wife. But he could tell with one look that there was a grain of truth behind it.

"Yes or no. Do any of you work with the Drouet family?"

"Yeah, I'm about to sign contracts." Said Jacques.

"Cancel it!" Alexandre answered with composure, as if he was canceling a reservation in a restaurant and not a million dollar project.

"Excuse me?" Confusion lay in Jacques' expression.

"Cancel it!"

"This is a 7 million project! I can't just cancel it!" Anger resonated in Jacques' undertone.

"Cancel the project with the Drouet. I'll give you a better contract to sign!" Without hesitation Alexandre answered confidently.

Jacques grin reached from one ear to the other "Fine! Then I should accept the deal with you." Everyone knew that doing business with Alexandre's company only brought advantages.

Suddenly, Emil had a new idea. "Are you cutting of the Drouets businesses and livelihood? What happened?"

"Did her Ex offended you?" Asked suddenly Stephan.

"He did!" Alexandre replied bluntly. His tone was cold as ice. His gaze was stern. But everyone understood immediately that business with the Drouet family was strictly forbidden. Emile suddenly felt sorry for the Drouets. But something must have happened. Stephan seemed to know certain things.
