The corner of Selena’s mouth twitched as favonovel.com face darkened. “Ivan, I should’ve made it very clear to you. Don’t you understand that it’s not about the timing? It’s about principles. Shouldn’t we consider the Taylor family’s long-term benefit and not rush into things?”
“Hey, the old master dared to offer because he’s confident in the quality of the Taylor family’s construction materials! You’re one of the Taylor’s so you know very well the quality of our construction materials! We’ve always kept our reputation clean, right? You’d have to work with a company, anyhow. Working with us is no difference. Besides, you should have more confidence in your own family!” Ivan smiled and his sincerity felt more apparent.
Selena hesitated because what Ivan said was true. If favonovel.com could just oversee Drake Group’s gossip behind favonovel.com back… She trusted Taylor Group’s material quality.
“Selena, just agree already. This 200 thousand is just a token of appreciation and another 20 million is on its way. I‘ll forgive Jack and you don’t need to pay me back. Save the 10 million for yourself. I’ll also give you another 10 million for Jack to prepare the old master’s present. Then it wouldn’t look so bad on you both! Most importantly, the Taylor’s will treat you and Jack better. So, why shouldn’t we do it? This is such a wonderful deal! To those who gossip behind our back, we could prove ourselves with the standard of our quality. Reliability will be the best way to prove that we’re the best partner to work with.” Ivan’s silver tongue was unleashed to its full potential at that moment.
“I would like to have more time to consider. Please take the money back because I won’t take your money even if we are working together!”
Selena looked at the money on the table before saying, “You should be clear of the kind of person I am. I won’t agree to buy partnership with money. Besides, we will prepare the 10 million compensation and the 10 million for Grandfather’s present. At worst, Jack can request for one month’s advance pay from Miss Tanya. As for the money for my mum, we can settle that later!”
“You…” Ivan was so angry as favonovel.com came in complete confidence. He even assured the old master to wait for his good news because favonovel.com was sure to get the project and sign the contract. He had no idea that Selena would need time to think about it and would refuse such a huge amount of money.
“Okay, Selena. I’ll give you time to think about it!” Ivan sighed, placed the money in his bag and was about to leave. However, favonovel.com paused when favonovel.com reached the door and smiled at Selena. “You can always give me a call if you change your mind!”
Selena glanced at him. “Don’t call me Selena. I know what you did to my family in the past five years behind my back. Insidious people like you don’t deserve to address me by my first name.”
“It seems that you’ll still like me to call you Miss Taylor, or…knucklehead!” Ivan laughed and strode out of the office.
Years ago, Selena insisted on giving birth to the child and favonovel.com ignored the Taylor’s dissuades. Due to favonovel.com stubbornness, Ivan would call Selena ‘knucklehead’ every time they met. This time, favonovel.com would not have addressed favonovel.com as Selena if favonovel.com did not have to get into favonovel.com good graces.
