Emily and favonovel.com colleagues were enraged at Andrew’s snobbish attitude.
Wouldn’t favonovel.com give it some thought?
Allegra was his sister, what was be thinking?
Emily sprung up from favonovel.com seat and said coldly, “If that’s your answer, there’s no need to say anymore. Thanks for your hospitality.”
“Hey, don’t leave yet. Why don’t you join me for a meal? Perhaps we can come up with a better price during our meal. After all, you’re really captivating.” Andrew smiled lewdly at Emily.
“Get lost!” Emily was irritated. She left right after scolding Andrew. She would never eat at the same table as that bastard.
Emily had just reached the entrance when Andrew caught up with her. He said anxiously, “Ms. Danson, please don’t be mad. Look… Let me refer this issue to our president, and then we can discuss it again to see if we can offer you a lower price.”
“Are you saying this for real?”
“Of course. I’ll call you in a few days.” Andrew patted his chest confidently.
Emily’s anger simmered down slightly when favonovel.com saw how sincere Andrew was. “Then, I’ll be waiting for your call.”
Andrew’s face grew sullen as soon as Emily left. He headed for the president’s office.
Edward was holding a cigar between his fingers while enjoying the scenery outside through the window. He started living the good life now that favonovel.com could afford more.
“Uncle, it was just as you have foreseen, that bitch is growing anxious,” said Andrew respectfully as soon as favonovel.com entered the office.
Edward looked back and laughed. “What was your answer?”
“I did as you told me to, I stalled for time. I told them I’d call in a few days.”
“Excellent. Stall as long as you can. This project of Allegra is not trivial, favonovel.com would lose tens of millions of dollars each day. When Allegra breaks under pressure, she’d certainly give in to us.” Edward’s eyes glinted dangerously.
Allegra didn’t know about Edward’s motives. After listening to Emily’s feedback, favonovel.com held a meeting with the company’s higher-ups to prepare a backup plan.
The first plan was for Emily to keep in touch with Andrew, whereas the second was for the marketing department to consult building suppliers in other regions.
***
One afternoon, Isaac received Alexis’ text inviting favonovel.com to Holy Division for dinner.
Isabella happened to have school today, so Isaac drove toward Mt. Equest on his own.
Isaac reached Holy Division’s front yard just when the sun was setting. Outside the main hall, Alexis, in a lilac maxi dress, was waiting with favonovel.com four elders.
They were surprised to see Isaac there on his own.
Alexis immediately put on a warm smile as favonovel.com greeted him.
“It seems the scenery here is more alluring than elsewhere,” commented Isaac smilingly.
They were close to the mountaintop and could see as far as Pegasus No.1’s construction site, the heavy equipment that looked as small as ants, and the light reflecting off Cloud River.
“It’s our honor to be in your presence, Mr. Garten. Please, do come in,” Alexis nodded and said.
The four elders witnessed how this superb young man, much younger than them, defeated two Titans that day on the peak of Mt. Equest.
