"Sha, we are now working under Andy.He will be mad if he finds out you bypass him to negotiate directly with Sky Precision."
"But isn't it the same if we close the deal and split the earnings with him?"
"How is that the same? An egoist control freak like him would definitely not be happy with that.What matters more to him is submission and obedience from his subordinates, not money."
Lance was stern, quite unlike his usual self.
Moreover, his reasoning and analysis were way too sophisticated, beyond what a normal college kid could come up with.
He spoke as though he was an experienced expert in such matters.
How could that be? Did I hear him wrong? His rebuttal left Amora speechless.
Seeing her reaction, he realized his unusual behavior had stunned her, so he changed his tone and explained, "I...Sha, don't get mad.I might sound a little harsh, but I have heard about such things from my friends.I am just worried for you."
Amora stared at him for a few seconds.
She decided he was telling the truth and dismissed her own suspicion.
"It's okay.I'll think about it again.You'd better head off to bed," she said.
That very night, she tossed and turned in bed, torn between Solomon's attractive proposal and Lance's very rational analysis.
Unexpectedly, like a magician, Solomon appeared out of the blue right in front of her the next morning.
For a moment, his stunning features and warm smile dazzled Amora.He had specially flown back from Clear to accompany her to meet the person in charge of the Japan project.
He seemed to have read her mind and knew she was hesitant.
"Morning, Esme.I knew you would be undecided, so let me accompany you there."
Amora was grateful for his concern.
His presence gave her assurance and eased her worry.
Bang!Just as she was about to take up his offer, the door upstairs burst open.
Lance came out and greeted them with a sharp look.
"Oh Lance, you are up? Perfect timing! Solomon is here, so maybe we can give it a try.What do you say?"
His stony expression gave her the shudders, and she tried to appease him with a conciliatory tone.
However, her cousin was definitely not his usual obedient self that morning.
