Chapter 174
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 174 Make Another Appointment
Nicole had a lot on her plate. The development of the real estate project was not going well.
The developer changed their mind at the last minute about the price they originally negotiated for.
The developer wanted to raise the price by 30% on top of the original price. Of course, Nicole would
not agree to it. This project was a top priority in the real estate arm of Stanton Corporation, so it was of
great importance.
The people sent to negotiate terms with the developer returned without success because the developer
was adamant.
With the stalemate, Stanton Corporation incurred a daily loss of up to ten million dollars. Scanned with
CamScanner Grant was abroad for an inspection, so this problem fell on Nicole.
Looking at the records of their previous negotiations, Nicole felt that the developerâs attitude was
somewhat surprising.
What was the reason for their sudden assertiveness? Logan saw Nicoleâs puzzled eyes and explained,
âIâve inquired about this.
It seems that someone has contacted this developer, Tobias Stone, promising him new projects and
high commission.
I think he wants to use this opportunity to make more demands with us.â Nicole frowned. âDid you find
out who it was?â Logan shook his head. âNo, heâs very tight-lipped about it.
If we look for developers abroad, the cost of a round trip is very high, so it isnât worth it.â That was why
they still did not finish him Scanned with CamScanner *** M. the 19th Appominent off. Nicole paused.
âMake an appointment with him.â She would not let others take the upper hand. âYes, maâam.â Tobias
Stone agreed quite quickly as if he had expected it.
Nicole arrived at the appointed place on time, but Tobias was a few minutes late. Her face was already
gloomy because of the wait. Once Tobias arrived, he apologized repeatedly. âIâm sorry, Ms. Stanton.
I got delayed by something.â Although he apologized, his attitude was not apologetic but rather smug.
Nicole hooked the corner of her lips. âMr. Stone, since youâre so busy, we can make another
appointment for next time.â
With that, she glanced at Logan and stood up to leave.
Tobias panicked and hurriedly stopped her. âMs. Stanton, letâs talk properly. Itâs my fault for being late,
so please just let me off the hook this time.â )) Nicole paused in her footsteps and coldly swept a glance
at him.
âMr. Stone, Iâll be frank with you. Stanton Corporation wonât agree to the request you made. We value
honesty in a person and in business. If you donât even have that, thereâs no need for cooperation.â
Tobias Stoneâs face changed slightly. His lips twitched and inevitably revealed his trump card. âMs.
Stanton, itâs best if you reconsider.
Thereâs another boss who offered 30% higher than Stanton Corporationâs price. If you can match his
price, of course, Iâll choose Stanton Corporation.â
Tobias was confident in the beginning. He looked down on a womanâs negotiating power and thought
that as long as he was insistent, Nicole would eventually compromise. Moreover, Stanton Corporationâs
project had been delayed for a long time.
If they dragged this on, they would surely lose money. Nicole lowered her eyes and hooked up her lips
into a cold smile. a âMr. Stone, you donât need to feel torn about this.
âSince business is all about profit, I can only wish you all the best with the new proprietor.â ) Tobias was
not given the chance to bargain at all.
If that so-called âbossâ could really offer such a high price, would Tobias still be bouncing between
sides? Nicole did not believe him. She was just curious who this person behind Tobias was.
After wishing him luck, Nicole did not even look at Tobias and left the room. Logan followed after her.
When she reached the entrance, Nicole paused in her footsteps and turned to Logan.
âFollow him and see where he goes.â ) Logan instantly understood what Nicole meant. Not long after,
Nicole received a call from Logan.
âPresident, Tobias Stone went to a club. I saw him with the Chairman of HS Corporation and Mr.
Fergusonâ¦â > There was instant silence over the phone.
