My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1097

Chapter 1097: Anticipation

As Jenson finished speaking, his gaze remained fixed on Preston without a blink. The two locked eyes, Jenson with a smile, openly welcoming Preston's probing.

This continued for several seconds before Preston spoke, "Since Mr. Evans asked, I won't hide anything. I'm here representing Armstrong Corp for recruitment. Armstrong Corp is confident in collaborating seamlessly with Mr. Evans for the internal decoration this time."

"Is Mr. Walker currently employed at Armstrong Corp?"

"Yes, I'm currently working at Armstrong Corp. So, Mr. Evans, what do you think?"

Jenson didn't respond immediately. His face showed a hint of seriousness and concern. In a low, gravelly voice, he said, "I have great respect for Mr. Walker personally because of our past dealings. Therefore, I do have some trust in Mr. Walker. However, Armstrong Corp's recent reputation is not favorable, so..."

Jenson's face expressed considerable reluctance, as if the proposal from Preston was being declined due to Armstrong Corp's reputation.

Preston promptly took over, "Mr. Evans, as long as you trust me, I believe we can continue our discussion. Regarding Armstrong Corp, the recent negative publicity is mostly due to media spreading rumors without any basis. It has created many unwarranted negative impressions for Armstrong Corp."

Jenson appeared conflicted, saying, "The media seems to have a point. It might not be entirely baseless, right?"

"Mr. Evans, would I lie to you? While it's true that Armstrong Corp might have fewer qualifications compared to larger enterprises, Armstrong Corp is an established company. The fact that the old Simpson has survived for so many years has its reasons, too. Moreover, Simpson Group has deep connections with Armstrong Corp, as you should know."

Preston's words carried a clear implication, almost explicitly stating that Armstrong Corp had the backing of Simpson Group. With such a significant enterprise supporting it, investing in Armstrong Corp would be worthwhile.

Jenson clearly understood Preston's implications but didn't expose them. He simply looked at Preston, maintaining a brief silence.

This silence made Preston unsure of Jenson's thoughts. Preston asked in a low voice, "Mr. Evans, would you consider Armstrong Corp? We can negotiate the price. As long as you give me this opportunity, anytime you need my services in the future, it's just a matter of one word from Mr. Evans."

Preston lowered his voice, ensuring only Jenson could hear him.

Jenson seemed uneasy. His expression was serious and somber. After a few seconds, he spoke calmly, "I can't directly grant you this opportunity, as it would be unfair to other enterprises. However, you can organize all the materials and internal design drafts for the interior decoration and send them to me. The architect will review them, and if they find it suitable, Armstrong Corp will be given priority. How does that sound?"

Jenson looked at Preston, and from his words, Preston understood Jenson's implication. He squinted his eyes instinctively and replied, "I understand your meaning. In that case, I will prepare everything as you suggested. I really look forward to our second collaboration."

Jenson nodded, showing a reassuring smile, "If it's destined, there will be a second collaboration. I'm also looking forward to it."

"Then, I'll await your message."

"Good, as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Preston bid farewell, and Jenson watched him leave. Then, he motioned to his secretary, speaking in hushed tones. The secretary nodded and quickly left.
