Chapter 957 A Bevy of Women

Mr. Steven took a step forward in front of Bianca, sniffed the air in front of her, hugged her waist

brazenly, and smiled. "Yes, we can talk about the price. After all, your company seems quite capable.

So how much will it be, Ms. Rayne?"

Bianca turned her head away in disgust when she saw his oily, sausage-like lips leaning close to her

face. She discreetly distanced herself and said, "We can talk about it, Mr. Steven. How about if we sit

down and talk?"

"Alright, alright, alright. Sit on my lap and we'll talk.” Mr. Steven prepared to sit down while hugging

her.

Nina stepped in between the two. Mr. Steven let go of Bianca and hugged Nina instead

He did not mind that. After all, both of them were beautiful. He smiled at Nina and said, "Would you

rather sit on my lap, Ms. Langdon?"

After many drinks, all Mr. Steven wanted was to cop a feel.

Nina was appalled, but she would rather Mr. Steven take advantage of her than her good friend.

"How about if we give you a five percent discount on the original quote?” She suggested.

"I'll have to think about it." Mr. Steven might be intoxicated, but he seemed lucid when money was

involved. He sat on the chair and tried to pull Nina toward his lap.

Bianca wanted to stop him when the room door opened abruptly. "Oh, Mr. Steven, I've heard that

you're here. I didn't expect to bump into you."

The person who walked through the door was Mavis Laviere. She was dressed in office wear and

wore impeccable makeup. There was a hint of contempt in her eyes when she glanced at Bianca.

Bianca frowned. Why was Mavis here?

"What a coincidence, Ms. Laviere. Why are you here?" Mr. Steven let go of Nina, smiled, and walked

toward Mavis.

Mavis was also a beautiful woman, and she was not any lesser than the other two.

However, Mavis had maintained an arrogant air in their previous negotiations, and Mr. Steven knew

to keep a distance away from her. However, he could sense that Mavis was a lot friendlier this time,

and he could tell that she wanted the project too.

He would consider himself lucky if either of the women accompanied him tonight.

Mr. Steven brought a glass to Mavis. "Are you here to negotiate upon the project too, Ms. Laviere?

Would you like to have a drink with me?"

While he spoke, he rested his hand on her delicate arm.

Mavis gently pushed him away and said coyly, "I'd like to negotiate with you, but aren't you

negotiating with Brilliant Architecture now?"

Her lips were slightly pouted, indicating her dissatisfaction. Mr. Steven was even more bewitched

when he saw her like that. "It's fine to negotiate a little more. How about all of you negotiate with

me at the same time?"

All the women in the room knew what he meant. Bianca furrowed her brows and looked at Nina.

Nina realized that she forgot to tell Bianca that Mavis was working as a general manager in Genial

Engineering, and so she whispered into her ear.

Bianca instantly understood, though she was surprised that someone as capable as Mavis would

work in a small company.

Mavis grunted contemptuously. That man was so naive to think that all three women would want to

please him at the same time!

She would not have come if she had not received news that Bianca wanted to snatch the contract

from her!

She had built an extensive network of connections. Even if she lost the project, Genial Engineering

would continue to thrive.

However, she wanted the project because of Bianca! Bianca had snatched her beloved man from

her. She swore that she would make Bianca's life as difficult as possible!

That was why she decided to work in Genial Engineering. She would not be able to oppose Bianca if

she joined a major company.

Mavis smiled and shook her head. "I'd love to talk to you tonight, but too bad I'm engaged

somewhere else.”

"Oh..." Mr. Steven knew what she meant. His expression became cold, and he prepared to walk

away.

Mavis grabbed his hand and hinted, "We can discuss the price, Mr. Steven. What if I meet you in a

nightclub tomorrow and talk about it?"

Mr. Steven beamed instantly. "Tomorrow night?"

"Yes, tomorrow night. I'll reserve a private room, and we can talk about it as much as we want!"

Mavis whispered into his ear. Then, she stood up straight, straightened her hair, and said

seductively, "I'm almost late for my engagement. See you tomorrow, Mr. Steven.”

Nina was furious when she saw Mavis arrive. She was hoping to win the contract tonight, but Mavis

had upended her plans. She knew that Mr. Steven was a lecherous man and would not sign the

agreement tonight.

"You vixen!" She clenched her fists and cursed under her breath as she watched Mavis leave.

Her appearance had made all their arrangements in vain.

After Mavis walked away victoriously, Mr. Steven returned to the table while smiling. "Sorry, Ms.

Rayne and Ms. Langdon, you can see that you're not the only ones who want the project. As for the

price..."

He leaned forward as he spoke.

Nina tried not to lose her temper as she stood in front of Bianca. "Yes, I know. I'm confident that

you'll eventually choose us because we are the more capable company.”

"You sound very confident, Ms. Langdon. I'd like to see your sincerity in your promise,” Mr. Steven

hinted.

Bianca put down her wine glass and said, "Our company is very sincere, Mr. Steven. Let's not beat

around the bush anymore. Our cost is ninety-three percent of the original quote. I have to pay my

employees, and you should understand that it doesn't make sense to lose money just to secure a

project. If we win the contract without any regard to the cost, we can't guarantee the quality. You're

a developer, and you should understand that quality is an important factor, don't you?"

Mr. Steven was quite surprised. He thought that Bianca would comply with his demands to win the

contract.

However, she had divulged her cost and pretended not to take a hint. He had never negotiated that

way before.

It seemed that Mavis's appearance had affected her.

"Yes, yes, of course I understand. I've heard your offer earlier, and I'll go home and consider it

carefully. Shall we continue drinking?" Mr. Steven held his glass in one hand and hugged Nina's

slender waist in his other. His head kept on leaning close to her.

Before Nina could struggle, the door opened again.

"What are you doing?" Percy's handsome face was ice-cold when he saw how intimate Nina and Mr.

Steven were.

Nina was surprised. She forgot that she was in Mr. Steven's arms.

Why would Percy appear there?

"Who the hell are you?" Mr. Steven narrowed his gaze unhappily. He could tell that the sudden

intruder was not an ordinary man. The man's eyes were transfixed on Nina, which made Mr. Steven

incredibly possessive. He hugged Nina and did not let go.

Every woman in the room belonged to him!

Bianca's heart skipped a beat. She quickly stepped up to Percy and said, "Are you here to pick Nina

up, Mr. Mallory? We've just ended our meeting. Please wait for a moment.”
