A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 589

The attendees were taken aback by Hesper's dominance throughout the meeting, leaving Rickard at a disadvantage. It seemed they had greatly underestimated her.

"Mr. Duval, if we continue like this, we'll get nowhere," Hesper interjected, halting the profit negotiation with Rickard. She proposed a figure. "This figure is most acceptable to both parties after my calculations. I believe your company has also estimated beforehand. If you disagree, you can suggest a different figure."

The rest of the people fell silent. They had planned the data previously and determined the optimal solution. They just didn't anticipate Hesper to be so precise; it matched their previous calculation exactly.

"You seem prepared, Ms. Lane," Rickard remarked.

In response, Hesper smiled and narrowed her eyes. "You laid so many traps for me, so it's only reasonable for me to be well-prepared."

"Traps?"

Hesper tilted her head and said, "Quit pretending, Mr. Duval. There are numerous employees present. If I expose them all, this meeting may not end well for you."

Rickard frowned, glancing at Benji, who quickly looked away. Pinching his nose, Rickard seemed to realize why Hesper was so angry when she visited this time. He assumed Hesper's request for cooperation was a coincidence, but now he recognized it was Benji's plan all along.

Observing Benji and Rickard, Hesper also realized that she may have misunderstood Rickard. However, birds of a feather flock together. If Rickard did not share those thoughts, Benji wouldn't have had the audacity to make the call.

As they exchanged glances in silence, the other staff watched apprehensively.

"Okay. Let's do what you said," Rickard said, finally making a decision.
