“This is our fault, Charlotte. We should have talked with Zachary about this.” Louis looked guilty. “Please don’t be upset, Zachary. Just see this as a normal dinner. We can talk about work later.”
“I invested ten billion for my shares. This is a fair trade. Why should we delay the talk?” Charlotte shot back.
“That Koandrian offered fifteen billion for ten percent of the shares, but I refused him anyway.” Zachary looked at her coldly and asked Louis, “How much did you give her?”
“I…” Louis whispered, “Fifteen percent.”
“Fifteen?” Zachary was vexed. “What do you think this project is? Something you can use to hook up with the ladies?”
“What nonsense are you spouting!” Charlotte growled. “I might not have much in this project, but I have my resources! Lindberg Corporation can help this project tremendously!”
“Oh, really?” Zachary arched his eyebrow. “Fine then. We’re planning on expanding this project to Erihal. We can talk about your participation after you show me Erihal’s authorization letters.”
“Why you…” Charlotte couldn’t argue against that.
“Let’s not fight, Zachary. At least for my sake, okay?” Louis tugged at Zachary, seemingly in a panic. “The partners are watching. We don’t want to fight in front of them. It’s just a gathering today. We can talk about the project later.”
Charlotte didn’t interject. She couldn’t afford to enrage Zachary at that point. If he were to voice his objection, Louis and the partners wouldn’t help her.
