Chapter 1943
He was very aware of Heather’s hostility toward Caprice. He had a feeling that Heather only came to him with this proposal because she wanted Liam for herself.
The only thing he was unsure of was how she came to know about his feelings for Caprice.
Heather frowned sharply. She did not expect Moses to figure out her true intentions right away. Furthermore, it looked like he knew about Caprice and Liam.
Her eyes flickered with shock a few times. Immediately after that, she fixed a smug smile on her lips again and announced, 'You’re only partially right. I wasn’t only trying to match you with Caprice. I’m also trying to get her to leave that man who is such a horrible match for her."
Moses did not appreciate the contempt Heather had for Caprice in her tone, but he had to admit she made a good point.
Apart from her good looks, Caprice was not particularly remarkable as far as her capabilities went. Besides, her family background did not appear to be anything out of the ordinary either. If she came from a reputable family, she would not have worked for his measly little company in the first place back then.
The daughter of a rich family would not even have his startup company on her radar at all.
Forget about Liam, her status was barely comparable to that of Heather's. The only reason she somehow ended up with someone of a disproportionate status like Liam was that they happened to be childhood friends.
Upon noticing his hesitation in refuting her point, Heather smiled. She sank her claws in. "Mr. Stewart, you should consider joining forces with me. Not only will you get to claim Caprice for yourself, but I can also provide a substantial boost to your company's profile.”
She had done some research on Moses; this man was undoubtedly gifted and motivated as well.
His only shortcoming was his lack of connections due to his otherwise common status. If he wanted to propel his career forward and grow his company, he would need better connections.
It made sense that Moses would at least consider her proposal.
Sure enough, he seemed intrigued.
After a long, ruminative silence, he spoke at last, "Miss Manson, I must admit that it's a very good deal, but I'm afraid I will have to refuse your kind offer. I have my principles.”
Heather immediately stiffened.
She scoffed to herself and nearly broke into insults. After letting a wave of irritation pass through her, she spoke as calmly as possible, 'You don't have to give me an answer right away. Think about it for a few days before getting back to me. You have all the time in the world."
With that, she rose from the couch and put one of her business cards on top of the desk.
Before Moses could say anything, she was already on her way out.
