Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 64

“He arrived pretty quickly.” Charles spun his chair around with a lazy look on his face.

Closing the document in her hand and setting it aside, Sonia said, “Let him in.”

“Of course,” Daphne answered.

Very quickly, Titus entered the room, thereupon he gave Sonia a sharp stare.

As she was already used to such workplace clashes, Sonia was unbothered and only offered him a faint smile as she gestured at the seat in front of her. “Please have a seat, President Gray.”

“You sure look calm!” he snarled, almost in praise, before pulling out the chair and sitting opposite her.

Meanwhile, Charles sat by her side. With that, she pushed the tea that she had Daphne make gently over to Titus and said, “Thank you for your praise, President Gray. Please have some tea.”

Having no intention of drinking it at all, he merely looked down at the tea before him. Nonetheless, she didn’t mind and only set her hands on the table with her fingers intertwined. “I figure you must have a purpose for coming to Paradigm. Co. today.”

“Since you’re asking, I might as well say it straight. I’m taking back the piece of land in the center of the city.” Titus stared closely at her.

After exchanging glances with Charles out of the corner of her eye, she returned her gaze to Titus with a smile. “Take it back? I’m afraid that’s not possible. After all, it has been transferred and wholly belongs to me now. It’s not yours, so how could you take it back?”

Realizing that he had misspoken, he amended his sentence. “You misunderstood me. When I say ‘take,’ I don’t mean it literally. I wish to buy it back.” Even so, he fumed a little. After all, he could have gotten this land for free, but Tina’s actions resulted in him having to spend money on it. This made him very frustrated.

“Ah, I see. I had, in fact, misunderstood you.” Tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear, she continued, “In that case, how much are you prepared to spend on it?”

“I’m not one to beat around the bush. 100 million,” he proposed, lifting up one finger as he stared at her.

However, Charles rolled his eyes and couldn’t help but reply, “Do you really think you can buy back a plot of land in the city center with 100 million? Are you joking or is Triforce Enterprise so broke that it can’t afford to spend some

Hearing the insults directed at him, Titus scowled. “Be careful I don’t sue you for slander, President Lane.”

Of course, Charles wasn’t afraid of idle threats and only curled his bottom lip. “Am I wrong? Why else would you offer only 100 million? Or do you think we’re simply not worth it?”

Sonia picked up her own cup of tea and gently took a sip before saying with a smile, “I agree with Charles, President Gray. 100 million is too little!”

Since Titus knew that the sum he gave was indeed not enough, he asked after a pause, “How much do you want, then?”

“Take it or leave it—2 billion.” Sonia put down her cup of tea after giving a number.

It wasn’t just Titus, even Charles gaped at her right then.

Slapping the table, Titus complained, “2 billion, President Reed? That’s daylight robbery!”

“I will admit my price is a little on the high side, but it’s not that high. That’s a plot of land in the city center. Its starting estimate is 1.5 billion or so, and the price is only going to skyrocket once its surroundings have been developed. When you take that into account, 2 billion isn’t that much,” she told him with a smile.

Furious, he let out a bitter laugh. “Who knows how long it would take for the land to be worth 2 billion? For you to offer me that price right now means you must have no wish to sell me the land at all.”

She shook her head. “That’s not true. As long as you give me that sum, I will have the deed transferred to you at once. You’re only thinking like that because you don’t wish to give me that much. If that’s the case, I might as well keep it for myself and build a factory there.”

“Well, I’d love to see how smoothly the construction process goes!” he snorted coldly.

Narrowing her eyes, she asked, “Are you threatening us, President Gray?”

Without answering, he turned and left.
