Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 121

Chapter 0121 

I chuckled, “There are so many why’s? Which of the why’s?” 

I heard Grace take a deep breath. “First, why is he investing so much? looking at the proposal right now. Secondly, why did he want to acquire the company in the first place?” 

“He initially didn’t know that I co–owned the company with you and I have no idea why he is investing so much, babe. I’m shocked and most importantly, I am happy! So who cares why?” 

“Hmm,” Grace hummed, “The ex–wife’s influence is still strong!” She joked and I could imagine her wiggling her brows. 

“Stop it,” I said as I rolled my eyes. “Anyway, since you’ve received the soft copy of the contract and proposal. Check it out, if there are any issues, let me know ASAP. I’ll drop my own signature once I get confirmation from my lawyer, you should sign your part on the soft copies, okay? Later, you will sign the hard copies.” 

“Alright, I’m already flitting through but I will carefully look at them right now,” she said. “I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m done.” 

“Okay, I will be waiting for your response,” I said, then hung up and instantly called my lawyer. 

I had a long discussion with my lawyer to confirm that there were no issues with the contract. He assured me that everything there was as it should be and that there are no means of manipulation or the likes. 

I smiled in relief as his assurance. I had somehow had it at the back of my mind that Mark might be up to some mishap or so. But everything was as it should be. 

Just then, Grace’s call came in. I quickly picked it up. “I’ve looked it over,” Grace said the moment I picked up. “And the proposal and contract is solid. Very beneficial to the company in the long and the short run. I say we should accept it,” Grace rushed out excitedly. 

“That’s great, then. I just got off the phone with my lawyer too. He said the 

same 1 smiled, feeling giddy with excitement. Tll go sign the contract now. Get your signature where it should be too 

“Of course Come on, hurry back to them our company’s future and even our personal future depends on this contract she said, half serious. “Go for it.” 

I chuckled lightly at what she said. It might seem like a joke but she was right. All aspects of our future actually depended on the contra we just got. 

After I hung up, I made my way back to Mark’s office. I took a deep breath, erasing all forms of overexcitement and desperation from my features, before 1 pushed his door open. 

On hearing the door open, he looked up and when his eyes landed on me, his lips stretched into a smile. ‘Have you spoken with your partner?” 

I nodded, my gaze fixed on the documents arranged before him on the desk. I sat in the seat I had been occupying before I left. The documents were now in duplicates. 

“All ready” Mark gestured at the array of duplicate documents. “What have you decided? 

“Where do I sign? I didn’t miss the smirk on Mark’s face as I picked up the pen before him. The GT Group’s corporate seal was already stamped onto the documents, only my signature was needed. 

As my eyes grazed the contract terms again, I first toyed with the idea then I dared to ask. I looked up at him, “Can’t you increase the investment a bit more?” 

Mark’s lips tilted in a half–smile as he regarded me. Then he stood up and took his sweet time to walk over to the other side of the desk where I was seated. 

The chair I sat in was a swivel chair, so he easily turned me to face away from the desk and face him. He leaned forward and placed his hands on both sides of the chair, trapping me…enveloping me within his arms. 

drew back as much as the chair would allow and frowned as he intently looked into my eyes. 

Tm a businessman, Sydney, his hoarse yet smooth voice sweetly swept over me. “If my initial investment proves effective, naturally, I will increase it.”
