The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer) novel Chapter 705

Under ordinary circumstances, Mila would not have been qualified to work with Tangent Group, given her current capacity.

Since Sandriel is being investigated by the company, this was a wasted trip.

Mila stood up, ready to depart, when Louie smiled from his seat. “You look like you're here to discuss a partnership, Ms. Zurlo. Though Sandriel is currently being investigated, I belong to the business department too, and I think I am qualified enough to negotiate with you.”

“No need. I no longer wish to work together.”

“It's not your decision to make.”

Louie clapped his hands, and a dozen people filed into the conference room.

Mila's bodyguard, Lulla Chancey, stepped forward at once and placed the former behind her. If they were to act, she would lead a charge out of there.

“We are only asking you to have a seat to discuss our partnership, Ms. Zurlo. Surely there's no need to get all aggravated like that.”

“Stand down, Lulla.”

Mila resumed her seat and glared at Louie. “Speak, then. How are we doing this?”

“Like how it usually goes, of course.” Louie's gaze fell onto the documents in Mila's hand. “Since you're here to discuss a partnership, those documents must pertain to your company. Would you mind if I take a look?”

Having been in the business world for years, Mila knew very well what Louie was getting at.

Naturally, she did not think Donald had set her up.

If he did cause it, it is too naïve a thing to do.

It was plain that Donald was genuinely prepared to help her and Tangent Group, but it was only due to the company's internal conflict that Louie had taken Sandriel's place.

Seated across from her at that moment, it was clear Louie had no intention of discussing the partnership.

If I'm right, he wants the information within this folder.
