Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462 The Game (5)

While Martina, Charles and Loretta were still taken aback, Bills stood up from his seat and went over to Hannah with a warm welcome, "There you are, Ms Hannah. Come over and take a seat."
"Sorry. I'm late. I was stuck in the traffic." Hannah explained properly and gave him a gift, "Mr Jones, I brought you a gift. A souvenir from Northfield. Hope you like it."
"Thank you, Ms Hannah. It's very thoughtful of you." Bills said and looked very happy.
To his surprise, Hannah knew the manners and rituals. And, it had embarrassed the Sawyer family, because none of them had thought of anything like giving a gift.
"Please take a seat." Bills said hospitably to Hannah. Together with Tan and Rose, Hannah sat down at the big round table.
Lee had been around and still could manage to talk calmly after he saw Hannah showing up and giving a gift, "Surprised to see you here, Hannah." He said in a tone of kindness.
Hannah acted to be very polite, too. She smiled and greeted them sweetly.
Martina gave Hannah a disdainful look, wondering when Hannah had become so good at acting! As far as she could remember, Hannah was a stupid girl who'd believe whatever she said. But she couldn't imagine the one before was so hypocritical and good at pretending at the moment.
What a bitch! Martina stared at Hannah and gnashed.
Hannah shrugged Martina off. For some girls like Martina Sawyer, she would simply be full of herself if she took her seriously. On the contrary, she would be desperate if she was ignored.
"Don't you know that, Mr Sawyer?" Hannah spoke, with a bright and innocent smile.
"What?" Lee frowned. He knew that she was pretending and he couldn't bear it. And, it was true.
Hannah was giving them a taste of their own medicine, and knocking some sense into them.
"Oh, Mr Jones," Hannah looked at Bills and acted cute. Hearing her very soft and sweet voice, Rose got goosebumps all over. Rose, who spent most of the days together with Hannah, couldn't stand it, let alone the the Sawyer family. Probably, they were about to blow their tops any time.
"Ah, right! I've been swamped and forgot to tell Mr Sawyer." Bills chimed in with Hannah and said, "Didn't I tell you I invited a third party to do the marketing planning when we negotiated the contract? I think you lack experience in running an e-commerce platform. And you've agreed on it and we've put it clearly in the contract."
Charles guessed who was the third party straight away.
"I read Cooper Group's marketing plan for the e-commerce platform, and it was perfect and suitable for our project. So, I've signed the marketing planning contract with them, which means, Cooper Group will be responsible for the marketing planning of our international e-commerce platform. And, we'll split 10% of the profit to Cooper as the marketing planning expenses." Bills added.
"But you didn't tell us it was Cooper Group!" Lee couldn't accept it, as they'd believed tacitly that Bills would give the job to a professional team from abroad. After all, e-commerce didn't have a promising prospect in Northfield, and they'd also agreed to pay the third party to do the marketing planning at the first beginning. They weren't sure if they could do the project well and they doubted it deep in their heart. So, they said yes to Bills' suggestion without hesitation. However, they hadn't imagined the third-party professional team turned out to be Cooper Group. That was unacceptable!
If the news that Sawyer had signed an international e-commerce project, whose marketing planning would be handled by Cooper, spread over the crowd, wouldn't it mean Sawyer wasn't as capable as Cooper and incapable of doing the job well?
They had been suffering defeat by Cooper Group recently. They thought they could turn the table with this project. However, it turned out to be another burning shame!
"You didn't ask me, either. And I've asked for your advice to see if we'd have to select the third-party company together. But you all told me that you trust me and let me make the call. You would just provide the platform." Bills went right to the point.
Lee was lost for words since he hadn't expected the result. Had he known it, he would never have given him a yes. Then he turned around to glance at Charles, who was looking like shit at the time.
Unlike the project of South Bay New Town, he wouldn't suffer any economic losses this time. But, they would lose all the reputation. And it would be a great insult to them. He stared at Hannah in rage and ferocity. Hannah didn't chicken out, looking Charles back in the eyes to provoke him as if she was saying she would never go easy on him but he just could do nothing with her.
"It's settled. Sawyer Group and I will build the e-commerce platform together, and Cooper will be in charge of the specific marketing planning and the relevant operations of online business." Bills said and pretended not to see the conflicts between them, "I'm leaving Northfield tomorrow. I hope you can work well with each other to deal with the matters of the project. Let me know immediately if you meet something out of control. I'll be on call 24/7. Besides, my assistant will stay here to be in full charge of Bills Group. You can turn to him for everything."
"OK." Said Hannah.
"So much for it. Wish us a smooth cooperation." Bills said and raised the wine glass.
The Sawyer family raised the wine glasses reluctantly as well, and Hannah lifted a water glass. When she went into the private room, she told Rose to ask the waitress to bring her a glass of water.
"Sorry that I can only drink water at this special time." She explained.
"Oh? What's so special?" Bills amused her. He had a better sense of humour.
"Are you on period?" he said.
"Nope." Hannah explained, "I'm preparing for pregnancy."
"Oh, I see." Bills nodded and said, "No alcohol then."
"Thanks for understanding, Mr Jones."
Bills was in a good mood tonight, for he had closed the deal perfectly and could leave for home the next day. And that explained it. People at the table had drunk a lot with him as well, except Hannah.
Hannah went to the restroom to powder her nose midway and found Charles waiting for her at the door the moment she got out. She glanced at him and said coldly, "Do you want to lose your right hand as well?" She threatened him.
