Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1117

Chapter 1117 Negotiation (2)

Lawrence's smile disappeared, and he locked eyes with Elliot in the air. The tension between them became increasingly intense, and the assistant standing beside them lowered his head in silence, afraid that they would start fighting at any moment.

After a moment of silence, the assistant sat restlessly while coughing twice to remind these two big shots. The tension between them gradually eased.

Lawrence was the first to break eye contact and went to make a phone call by the window.

Elliot's gaze followed his figure until he walked over to the window. He didn't look away for quite some time but couldn't see Lawrence's face since he had his back turned towards him.

The assistant lowered his voice cautiously and asked, "Mr. Harper, do we really need to spend fifty million dollars on this? It's far beyond our budget range."

Elliot remained calm with a somewhat absent-minded expression as if lost in thought before finally saying, "Don't worry; let's wait and see how things develop."

The assistant stopped talking.

A few minutes later, Lawrence hung up on a phone call and came back smiling again. "Mr. Harper," he said while sitting down again, "our CEO says we can video chat now. He'll be calling soon himself to discuss this project with you."

Elliot nodded without changing expression as an odd feeling deepened inside him once more.

Soon enough, their video call began after Lawrence answered it on speakerphone revealing a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes whom Elliot found unfamiliar upon seeing him for the first time.

As soon as Elliot saw Saliva's face, that strange feeling vanished entirely from within him, despite not being able to explain why exactly but still felt like something off about RH's CEO.

"Hello! You must be Elliot?" Saliva greeted warmly before continuing further, "I'm RH's CEO Saliva; nice meeting you! I heard from Lawrence that you wanted to talk business? We can begin right away!"

Elliot frowned but seriously focused on this cooperation, he replied, "I'm Elliot, I've exchanged views with Mr. Ingram on this cooperation, your company asks for fifty million dollars? Although the development trend of this piece of land is very good afterward, we can't rule out that there will be other problems afterward, Saliva, don't you think that your price is not quite reasonable?

Saliva blinked and replied with emotion. "This price is just small change for you. If you think it's too high, there are other companies I can work with besides Harper Group."

Before Elliot could respond, Saliva continued speaking, "But Mr. Harper, after meeting you today, I feel like you are a good guy. I'll give you a discount as a gesture of friendship - 48 million dollars. What do you think, Mr. Harper? This is the lowest price I can offer."

Khalil watched the man's face turn gloomy in the video call and couldn't help but smile strangely - it was an expression that didn't match his age.

Elliot was completely enraged by this guy.

A discount? A gesture of friendship?

He really had some nerve!

This multi-million dollar deal seemed like nothing more than buying vegetables at the market to this guy - he'd even given Elliot two million off?!

Who negotiates deals like this?

What was even worse than that was how careless and indifferent Saliva seemed about everything; he didn't seem serious or take Elliot seriously at all - it felt like he was just playing around!
