Chapter 247
Tyler closed the document. âWe're family. You donât have to be so
courteous,â he said flatly.
Michael sounded moved. âAre you free today? I'd really like to come
over.â
âI'm a bit busy right now. Let's catch up another time, Mr. Michael.â
How would Michael dare to disagree with him? He replied, âI'm free
whenever you are.â
Tyler responded briefly before ending the call and handing the phone to
Linda. âWhen is the bidding happening this time?â
âTomorrow. That's why Michael was calling,â Linda informed him.
Tyler was quiet for a moment, then asked, âDid we get Averie Co's bid
for this year?â
âIt's been sent to the branch office.â
Tyler didn't comment further. Later, as he walked through Pinnacle
Group's office, even the senior managers and the company president,
Miles Cooper, were there to meet him.
Miles kept talking about the companyâs profits, giving him a tour and
sharing their goals for the year. Tyler seldom visited, only doing an
annual check-up.
âTomorrow's the public bidding,â Miles mentioned. âYou know Averie
Co., right? They've been supplying us, but we're thinking of making it
exclusive this year. Their bid is the best we've received, and they're
fully committed.â
After saying this, Miles gestured to his secretary, who brought over the
bid document for Tyler to see. âHave a look. They're considered
family.â
Miles was all smiles as he said this.
Tyler took the document and flipped through it. The room went silent,
and everyone became anxious as they listened to the sound of the
pages turning.
Tyler looked unimpressed. He turned to Miles and said, âOkay, not bad.
Harris Group will decide on the bidder this time. We'll see how it goes.â
Milesâs smile stiffened. He was confused as the branch usually made
these decisions on
its own...
Tyler glanced at him. âDo you have any questions?â

âNo, of course not. Your decision is final,â Miles quickly replied. âAverie
Co. is a good choice, Mr. Tyler.â
Miles tried to assure himself he had made the right move, considering
the ties between Michael's youngest daughter and the Rees family, and
how the Reeses and Harrises were connected.
After all, there's a saying about keeping benefits within the family,
right?
Tyler didn't respond to him.
