Chapter 95: Negotiation “I will get back to you soon. Wait for my message. I will communicate with you soon, then we can talk about some other things. Is that fine?” Grey proposed, his gaze on Caramel.
“Yes, Boss. I like it,” Lan responded and his voice sounded lively now.
Grey hung up and opened the door. He stared at Caramel in blue jeans and a yellow blouse. Her hair was braided and it made her look more beautiful.
“Grey, what took you so long? What were you discussing?” She gathered her wrinkles as she slipped into the passenger’s seat.
Grey sighed. He didn’t want to think of the fact that Seth and Audrey might have started their meeting already. And there was no way he would be able to pick calls with Caramel beside him.
Grey fingers ranked through his hair nervously. “Just got caught in something. I was only distracted. What are you doing here anyways?”
Caramel smiled. “I came here for fun,” her gaze trailed from his face, down to the wet shirt. “Why are you wet?”
Grey looked down at his shirt and sighed. He had almost forgotten about what Nora had done to him.
“It was a mistake. A waiter poured wine on me,” he lied and looked up at Caramel.
“So, Grey,” she touched his hand, “A beach picnic by Saturday. Are you in?” She sounded excited.
Seth had two rooms reserved for Audrey. He did it to eliminate suspicious people.
Audrey had moved into the room and was waiting for Seth. Seth had to tarry behind in case anyone was tailing him. “You kept me waiting too long,” Audrey uttered immediately after Seth stepped in.
Seth smiled.” I had to make sure we are safe,” he explained and moved to sit in front of Audrey.” The agreement must be sealed tonight, that was what you told me,” he reminded him. Audrey nodded.” The buyer is close by. You will get your money immediately,” he assured
Seth smiled. “Good because I’ve booked a flight already and I would like to move out by tomorrow morning.” Audrey regarded him for a moment. ” You are running away?” Seth shook his head briefly, quickly. “Just for vacation.”
Seth didn’t tell Audrey initially that the person he was messing with was Hercules. Maybe if he had, he wouldn’t have taken the job up. Audrey hated being caught in the mess that he was currently in. Instead, he believed in making previous plans which were what Seth was doing. The upsetting thing was that he wasn’t taking Audrey along with him.
Maybe if he had told him the truth, they might have discovered a way to get past it. Not anymore, Seth lured Audrey and he was going to give him a taste of his medicine.
Well, he needed to do that or he might not pass midnight. After that night, he would go with his next plan. Hercules would be damn for threatening him. “Let’s get started then,” Audrey initiated. “I hope you came with the relevant documents?”
Seth nodded briefly. “I did. Let’s talk about money. We don’t have all day,” he proposed and Audrey nodded.” So, where’s the buyer?” “He’s a private person and he doesn’t want to risk anything.”
Seth felt a stab of annoyance.” What do you mean? This is supposed to be very private. I’m here because it is. And you assured me that I would be meeting the buyer on a personal level.” Audrey observed him for some minutes. “Of course,” he smiled. “You will as a matter of fact. He’s been out of the country recently and he was the only one that offered to buy the company at such a limited period. And he agreed to discuss the price with you on the phone,” he revealed.
Seth thought about it for a moment. Maybe he was scared of Hercules and was making sure his plan wouldn’t fail. But he also knew that a business without knowing the buyer was the best for him. Who knows, Hercules might get hold of the buyer and threaten him to find Seth. By that time, the buyer would be able to recognize him. He didn’t want that.
Seth looked over at Audrey and nodded briefly. “It’s safer that way, let’s proceed. I would like us to talk about the money,” he said quickly. Audrey nodded once, pulled out his phone, and dialed Grey’s line. It rang severally but Grey didn’t pick up.
Seth watched Audrey for a moment. “Is everything alright?” Audrey nodded severally. “It is. I will just dial the line again,” and he did.
