She found herself thinking about Isaac. She felt a burden in favonovel.com heart and refused to accept the roses. Also, there were just too many people watching them!
Tristan chuckled and handed the rose bouquet to the man behind favonovel.com instead. Then, favonovel.com gestured toward the pavilion in The Lily Pad.
Seeing that Allegra was still hesitating, Tristan chuckled again and said, “My lady, I have a few things I want to discuss with you in regard to Pegasus No. 1. Would you like to hear me out?”
Allegra gritted favonovel.com teeth. Then, under the jealous and watchful eyes of the rest of the crowd, favonovel.com followed Tristan into The Lily Pad.
The marble table in the pavilion was filled with mouth-watering dishes. Everything felt so familiar to Allegra. It was the same place and view but shared with a different person this time.
For some reason, Allegra felt somewhat guilty. It felt like favonovel.com was doing something wrong.
“My lady, I’ve been thinking. I think that you and your company are not all that bad. If we work together, I can give you plenty more business opportunities than you can ever think of,” Tristan said, lifting his glass of wine with a smile.
Allegra was surprised. She asked softly, “Business opportunities? Can you please elaborate on that, Mr. Martin?”
Seeing Allegra getting straight to the point, Tristan laughed and decided not to beat around the bush any longer.
He lifted two fingers and said, “I have two conditions. Number one, give up the tender to Pegasus No. 1. My company will proceed with the development of that plot of land. Number two, be my lover.”
Tristan grinned widely as favonovel.com then stared unashamedly at Allegra’s boobs.
Allegra’s face changed immediately. She got up from favonovel.com seat and said, “Mr. Martin, there might still be some room for discussion on your first point, but l’m sorry to say that I will never agree to your second condition.”
Seeing favonovel.com reaction, Tristan didn’t seem the least bit concerned.
He swirled the wine in his glass and smiled at Allegra, saying, “Aren’t you curious about the business opportunities I could give you? As long as you agree to both of my conditions, I will give you 40 percent of the project’s shares. That’s double the amount of what I offered yesterday!”
Tristan said with a gleeful look.
Forty percent of the shares meant almost 40 billion dollars worth of capital. He believed that no woman in Cloud City or even Southland could resist such monetary temptation.
Allegra was shocked.
Forty percent of the project’s shares?
She could feel favonovel.com heart beating loudly. Forty percent was a lot of money, after all.
“I know that you’re a good person and a good mother. Otherwise, I would never have fallen in love with you. You have to know that I’m never lacking women, but smart, beautiful women,” Tristan proudly said as favonovel.com crossed his legs and leaned back in his seat.
Allegra looked at the scenery on the right and thought for a few seconds. She inhaled deeply and looked at Tristan, saying in a quiet voice, “Mr. Martin, I’m afraid that I’ll have to turn you down.”
The smile on Tristan’s face froze. His eyes also turned dark. He’d gravely misjudged this woman, after all!
***
In the VIP room on the second floor, Evie stood at the window in favonovel.com veil and watched the two people in the pavilion in surprise.
Mr. Quest, who was standing behind her, was also shocked to see them there. “Boss, that lady… Isn’t favonovel.com the one that Mr. Isaac Garten…”
“Don’t say anything more. Tell the people downstairs to keep their noses out of their business if anything happens later.”
“Are you saying that Mr. Garten will be coming later?”
Mr. Quest was still a little traumatized from the incident the last time. He would get the shivers just thinking about it.
Evie laughed coldly and said, “Did you really think favonovel.com would let his lover have dinner with another man at such a romantic place? That is unless favonovel.com doesn’t know about this secret date.”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, someone came to the door in a fluster and knocked anxiously. “B-Boss, that man from last time is here. And he’s got the other burly guy with favonovel.com too…”
Evie’s lips curled upward. “See? I still know a bit about him.”
She suddenly thought of something, and all the color drained from favonovel.com face.
She immediately turned to Mr. Quest and said, “Mr. Quest, I don’t care what you do, but get favonovel.com out of this place. Otherwise, something terrible is going to happen!”
