Clarke seemed amused.
The net profit from this order could reach as high as 30 million.
Baroque had sent him countless emails to secure this order.
He requested to meet with Baroqueâs top management, and Harrison even claimed he would personally receive him.
Just now, Lauren called to apologize, saying that there was an urgent
matter she needed to attend to and that her daughter would be
handling his visit.
He had heard about Harrisonâs daughter, who was said to be a
stunning beauty.
Thus, he had agreed without thinking twice. He thought that he might have a chance to charm this beauty.
However, things took an unpleasant turn shortly after their meeting.
Now, he did not even want to cooperate anymore unless Hera
showed utmost sincerity.
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.
The secretary quickly approached and tried to persuade them, âMr. Camp, Ms. Lewis, please calm down and have a seat. Letâs talk this
through slowly.â
She pulled Hera to a chair on the side and whispered, âMs. Lewis, Ms. Mare has been making calls for this order for several days. Maybe
Hera took a deep breath, sitting expressionlessly in the chair.
The secretary then turned to Clarke. âMr. Camp, please calm down. Iâll
make you some tea.â
With that, she went to the cabinet near the water dispenser to get
some tea leaves.
Seeing that Hera had also sat down, Clarke guessed that she might
still be open to cooperation, so he sat down as well.
His two assistants took seats on either side.
Nash also pulled a chair and sat next to Hera.
Hera leaned back in her chair, playing with a pen in her hand.
Clarke did not speak first either.
The business manager beside him smiled and said, âMs. Lewis,
thereâs a saying that says you canât really get to know someone until youâve had a disagreement. Itâs just a minor conflict. No need to take
it to heart.â
Hera nodded casually. âMhm, I donât mind it.â
Clarke had been aggressive in his words, and she had defended her
man well enough.
She also felt better after defending Nash.
After all, this was a client brought in by her mother, so it was best if
they could come to an agreement.
After calming down, Clarke said, âYour words earlier were a bit excessive. Donât you want to apologize?â
She called him condescending?
Unacceptable!
âWhy are you so despicable? I gave you a way out, yet you still want to continue provoking us?â
Nashâs face was filled with mockery.
He had seen idiots before, but never one this dumb.
âAre you sure you went to school? Itâs no wonder you can only be a security manager. In simpler terms, youâre just a guard dog!â
Clarke sneered.
Heraâs blood pressure surged upon hearing Clarkeâs humiliating
words.
Just as she was about to retort, Nashâs calm and indifferent voice
rang out.
âTsk tsk tsk, I didnât expect a person like you to have such qualities. The vice president of a company? You probably got to your position by climbing into someoneâs bed, huh?â
Nash, who usually resorted to physical means, had now engaged in a verbal battle with this vice president.
Hera slowly calmed her anger and smiled while showing her teeth.â The president of Innovate Collective is indeed a woman⦠and it seems like sheâs an older woman too⦠Sheâs probably in her 40s,
right?â
The secretary, who was making tea, rolled her eyes at the banter between the two.
Well, it seemed that Ms. Lewis had no intention of closing this deal.
Clarkeâs face turned red, and his temples throbbed.
He slammed his hand on the conference table.
The table immediately cracked and splintered.
Nash casually lifted his hand to catch the wood chips flying toward Heraâs face and smiled faintly. âGetting impatient now, are we?â
Hera smiled radiantly. âI just knew there had to be a reason for Innovate Collective to suddenly change their VP. It looks like my husbandâs guess was correct. You got your position from being â unofficially regulatedâ by the president, didnât you?â
âPfft⦠Hahahahaâ¦â
