Chapter 639
"What is it?"
"The long-time competitor of Deluxe International, Walters Company, knew Deluxe was planning to invest in an international holiday resort. They also invested in a piece of land, intending to compete with you. Coincidentally, right next to the location that Deluxe International Holiday Resort selected is a piece of land that VSA Group invested a few years ago."
Phillip's eyeballs rolled. He was intrigued and a little agitated.
Even though Deluxe International indeed invested in such a holiday resort, they had kept the information secretive, where did Catelyn get the information?
He then thought perhaps Cedrick had told her about it.
He had to admit that he was interested in the piece of land that Catelyn mentioned as well. It was right next to the one belonging to Deluxe, only separated by a street.
He had heard about it but had not expected the land to be in VSA Group's possession.
"You can decide to sell this land?"
"It depends on Mister Kingsley's decision on whether that is a yes or no." Catelyn smiled, then added, "Deluxe International and Walters Company are very close competitors who are almost on par with each other. If Deluxe could have that very piece of land under VSA Group now, you would surely overtake Walters."
Phillip immediately understood the situation.
Her real intention was to get him hooked on the deal with the land, not the 70-30 share.
"I hope Mister Kingsley could give it a thought. Here is my name card."
Catelyn left her proposal and name card with Mister Kingsley. They were also finishing the meal.
As soon as Catelyn left with Cedrick, Phillip looked at Catelyn's name card and pondered in silence.
If he could get the piece of land, Miss Kingsley would definitely be over the moon.
However... VSA’s reputation was terrible. Would this be a sinking ship?
"Honey..." Lola stood up and wrapped her arms around Phillip's neck. She sat in his lap and winked at him. "It was my fault to have embarrassed you. I really did not want that to happen."
A jasmine-scented perfume wafted through.
He swallowed his saliva. "You know that woman meant something to Cedrick. Could you not have behaved? Luckily Cedrick was not really angry about it..."
"I am sorry."
She had been with him for some time. However, she was always only willing to be hugged or kissed by him and nothing more. He did not expect her to be bolder today.
Lola placed one finger on his lips and said playfully, "However, I have a small favor to ask."
Phillip assumed that she meant the film's main character role and smiled. "I will introduce you to the director of the film, but whether or not you could be the main character, it is not up to me to decide."
