Chapter 955 Interested In Bianca

Sue shook her head indignantly. "Not good. Ever since that incident, we've received far fewer orders.

Some clients would rather pay the penalty for breach of contract than let us do the design for

them."

Bianca was not too flustered, knowing what those people were thinking. "How does it compare to

the previous month?"

"It's at least a forty-percent decrease. We're not a big company, and there are several designers

without any work on hand. Even St. Heckler Hotel is already looking for another company,” Sue

reported.

St. Heckler Hotel was a three-star hotel construction project in A City. It took Bianca a lot of effort to

convince them, but Riley's incident happened right before they were about to sign the contract.

She was not at liberty to continue negotiations, so she delegated the task to Sue and Nina.

"Have they signed the contract with the other design company?" Bianca asked.

"No, they're still negotiating. I've heard that the company is charging a high price, which is why St.

Heckler hasn't agreed to their terms yet," Sue replied.

Bianca nodded and spoke to Nina, "Nina, can you contact St. Heckler? We'll have to get them to

sign with us.”

There was a chance that they might win the contract, especially when the media had been reporting

about Bianca's innocence.

Nina nodded. "No problem. I'll set up an appointment now."

She took out her phone, tried to make her sound as docile as possible, and managed to make an

appointment with the developer.

After Nina ended the call, she said, "The developer said that he's free tonight. I told him that we can

meet him."

The company was desperate for business, so they had to comply with the other party's whims.

"No problem. Nina, can you go with me tonight?” Bianca asked and made a mental note that she

would have to inform Luke later.

"Okay." Nina did not want to return to Percy's mansion so soon. She would rather stay at work.

"Should I go too?" Sue asked.

Bianca shook her head. "You've been working hard for the company lately, Sue. Let us do this. You

should go home early and spend some quality time with Kari and Teri."

Sue thought of her daughters. She had indeed neglected them because of work, so she nodded and

said, "The developer was quite keen to collaborate with us, and they would've already signed the

contract if not for the incident. Now that we're asking for their business, I'm afraid that they'll be

asking for a discount.”

"I understand. I'll try to negotiate so that we don't lose out too much.” Bianca nodded.

After the discussion, Nina and Sue left the office.

Bianca sent Luke a message.

Ding!

When Luke heard the message notification, he stopped working and unlocked his phone.

Jason also stopped giving his report.

Luke played the voice message, and Bianca's gentle voice was heard. "Luke, I'll be having a business

dinner with St. Heckler's developer tonight. You don't have to come and pick me up. If you're

working overtime, remember to get the driver to pick up Lanie and Rainie from school.”

As busy as she might be, she did not neglect her children.

"Alright," Luke replied gently.

Jason was not surprised anymore when he saw that gentle side of his boss. Only Bianca had the

magic to make his boss fall in love with her.

Luke put the phone away but did not indicate Jason to continue reporting. Instead, he asked,

"What's going on with St. Heckler's developer?”

As a professional assistant, Jason naturally knew what was going on. He briefly explained the

incident about St. Heckler's developer changing design companies.

The developer of a three-star hotel would want to save as much cost as possible. They would not

engage in T Corporation's services.

Luke frowned and continued asking, "Which other company did St. Heckler look for?"

"Genial Engineering Design LLC," Jason replied. He knew about that mainly because of Sue.

"Boss, Ms. Laviere is working there after she left our company,” Jason reminded Luke.

“Mavis Laviere?"

Luke was surprised. Mavis was a talented worker. Several multinational companies tried to poach

her before she left T Corporation, and she could have found employment anywhere. Why would she

work in a small company?

"Boss?" Jason called out.

"Mm, continue,” Luke said. He did not make a comment because he was confident in Bianca.

Mavis might be a formidable opponent, but Bianca was also very capable.

Jason nodded and continued his report.

At night, Bianca and Nina went to the Westin Hotel. The other party wanted to meet them there,

and they reserved a private room to show their sincerity.

Bianca and Nina sat down in the private room, ordered dinner, and waited for the developer to

come.

Half an hour passed, but the developer was nowhere to be seen.

Nina slammed the table impatiently. "Are they doing this on purpose? We've agreed to meet at

seven o'clock, but it's already half-past seven!”

"Let's wait for a while more." Bianca calmly sipped her tea. If the other party had not signed the

contract with the other company, it meant that they were still negotiating prices.

The other party's tardiness was also part of the negotiation process. As the developer, they would

want to keep the cost as low as possible. Bianca thought that it would be quite tough for them to

win the contract.

Nina took a sip of her tea and sighed. "We'll definitely be short-changed tonight."

"Isn't that how negotiations usually are?” Bianca seemed quite calm about it. If not for Riley, the

contract would have already been theirs.

Running the company cost money, and money came from design projects. Moreover, a significant

proportion of a designer's salary came from commissions. Even if Bianca had enough capital to keep

the company running, no designers would be willing to work for her if there were no projects.

Nina became thoughtful as she watched Bianca calmly sip her tea.

Bianca was not the same as before. She had become more composed, compared to when she had

first entered T Corporation.

She envied Bianca's change in character and hated herself for having to rely on Percy to survive.

The developer arrived ten minutes later.

A beautiful woman opened the door. She glanced at Bianca, then turned around to speak to the

man behind her. "This is the place, Mr. Steven.”

Following that, Bianca saw a potbellied man come into the room. That was Mr. Steven, the

developer.

Mr. Steven's eyes sparkled when he saw Bianca and Nina. His secretary was the one who contacted

Nina, and he did not expect that the boss of Brilliant Architectural Design would be so beautiful. As

he took a drag of his cigarette, he ogled greedily at Bianca's body.

Bianca and Nina stood up and introduced themselves. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Steven. I am Bianca

Rayne, the boss of Brilliant Architectural Design. I'm sure that you've met Nina Langdon before."
