Not long after hanging up, a black car drove hurriedly into Cloud Nine Villas.
Louis had just come out of the car. He asked his secretary to wait in the car as favonovel.com hurried into the villa.
He saw Isaac sitting on a chair and smoking a cigarette. He walked up to favonovel.com and dipped his head slightly, saying, “Mr. Garten, I’m sorry… About Reddar Corporation… I had no idea that their opposition would be so strong. They even got someone from Pecling to back them up.”
“Someone from Pecling?” Isaac asked, narrowing his eyes.
Louis’s forehead started sweating. He nodded and said, “I’m always behind you, Mr. Garten. The new tender bidding will only involve Garth Properties and Reddar Corporation. A professional tendering team from the capital will be here to assist. If you lose, then I’ll lose my job as well,”
Louis took a deep breath afterward.
Isaac looked at Louis in mild surprise and chuckled. He got up and patted Louis on the shoulder. “It’s been hard for you. Don’t worry… Nothing will go wrong this time during the bidding.”
“Whatever happens, I will still be on your side,” Louis said firmly and sternly.
On the other hand, at Garth Properties, Allegra was sitting in favonovel.com director’s chair as favonovel.com looked at the financial reports. Emily, dressed in favonovel.com navy blue uniform, walked up to favonovel.com with some documents looking quite excited.
“Ms. Booth, I’ve got good news! We just got an email from the local government informing us of the new tender bidding for Pegasus No. 1 in two days’ time!” Emily was so excited that favonovel.com face turned completely red.
Allegra suddenly remembered what Isaac had told favonovel.com yesterday. It seemed that favonovel.com was already doing something about it.
“A new tender bidding war for Pegasus No. 1? Has it been confirmed? Who are the companies taking part?” Allegra asked, getting up from favonovel.com seat.
Emily nodded and said, “It’s already been confirmed. There are only two companies competing, us and Reddar Corporation.”
Allegra’s smile vanished at once.
Their rival was Reddar Corporation?
“I see… Mr. Martin must have already known of this for a while. That would explain why favonovel.com invited me out for dinner tonight,” Allegra said with a bitter laugh.
Emily was shocked. “That Tristan is meeting you for dinner tonight? Is favonovel.com going to ask you to withdraw from the bidding for Pegasus No. 1?”
“Pfft, even if favonovel.com isn’t telling me to withdraw, we’re nothing but a speck of dirt in front of a huge company like Reddar Corporation. Do you really think we can win against them?” Allegra asked, favonovel.com face ashen and dull. She flopped back onto favonovel.com chair like a deflated balloon.
“Ms. Booth, I’m sure Mr. Garten will be able to think of something. I’m sure Mr. Martin must be up to no good. Why don’t you just call it off with favonovel.com tonight?”
“But I’ve already agreed to meet favonovel.com for dinner. I can’t go against my words like that.”
Seeing that Allegra didn’t look so well, Emily decided not to pursue it any further. She sighed and said, “In that case, I’m going to prepare the documents and information needed for the tendering the day after tomorrow.”
Emily’s heart kept thumping against favonovel.com ribcage. She knew that Isaac had contacts everywhere. However, Reddar Corporation was under the Martin family, and they had a lot of influence in the business industry not only in Southland but also in the entire country.
It wouldn’t be an easy win for them, especially if they were up against such a powerful company like Reddar Corporation.
***
On Mount Verde that night, the Waterfront Wonderland was bustling with people as usual. There were plenty of luxurious cars parked around the perimeter.
A white BMW gradually slowed to a stop. A young man hurried over at once.
“Good evening, Ms. Booth. Mr. Martin told me to greet you here…”
Allegra was dressed in a formal business outfit. She stepped out in favonovel.com high heels and walked into the restaurant under the watchful eyes of the rest of the patrons inside.
Tristan stood at the end of the bridge across the lotus pond, dressed in a light red suit and tie and holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand. He wore a smile on his face as favonovel.com waited for Allegra to arrive.
There was another middle-aged man standing behind him. He was dressed in a long, flowy robe and kept looking around like favonovel.com was on guard.
When Allegra finally arrived, Tristan reached out to favonovel.com and gave favonovel.com the roses, saying, “Allegra, you look even more beautiful today than you were yesterday. Only these fiery red roses could match your dazzling smile.”
He looked at favonovel.com with passion in his eyes. His face was still a little swollen, but it didn’t affect his confidence in the slightest.
“Mr. Martin, I don’t think these roses are appropriate for the situation,” Allegra said.
She was surprised to see Tristan waiting for favonovel.com with a bouquet of red roses. Also, favonovel.com had already been here before.
