Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 955

Sue shook her head indignantly. "Not good. Ever since that incident, we've received far fewer orders. Some clients would rather pay the penalty for breach of contract than let us do the design for them."

Bianca was not too flustered, knowing what those people were thinking. "How does it compare to the previous month?"

"It's at least a forty-percent decrease. We're not a big company, and there are several designers without any work on hand. Even St. Heckler Hotel is already looking for another company," Sue reported.

St. Heckler Hotel was a three-star hotel construction project in A City. It took Bianca a lot of effort to convince them, but Riley's incident happened right before they were about to sign the contract.

She was not at liberty to continue negotiations, so she delegated the task to Sue and Nina.

"Have they signed the contract with the other design company?" Bianca asked.

"No, they're still negotiating. I've heard that the company is charging a high price, which is why St. Heckler hasn't agreed to their terms yet," Sue replied.

Bianca nodded and spoke to Nina, "Nina, can you contact St. Heckler? We'll have to get them to sign with us."

There was a chance that they might win the contract, especially when the media had been reporting about Bianca's innocence.

Nina nodded. "No problem. I'll set up an appointment now."

She took out her phone, tried to make her sound as docile as possible, and managed to make an appointment with the developer.

After Nina ended the call, she said, "The developer said that he's free tonight. I told him that we can meet him."

The company was desperate for business, so they had to comply with the other party's whims.

"No problem. Nina, can you go with me tonight?" Bianca asked and made a mental note that she would have to inform Luke later.

"Okay." Nina did not want to return to Percy's mansion so soon. She would rather stay at work.

"Should I go too?" Sue asked.

Bianca shook her head. "You've been working hard for the company lately, Sue. Let us do this. You should go home early and spend some quality time with Kari and Teri."

Sue thought of her daughters. She had indeed neglected them because of work, so she nodded and said, "The developer was quite keen to collaborate with us, and they would've already signed the contract if not for the incident. Now that we're asking for their business, I'm afraid that they'll be asking for a discount."

"I understand. I'll try to negotiate so that we don't lose out too much." Bianca nodded.

After the discussion, Nina and Sue left the office.

Bianca sent Luke a message.

Ding!

When Luke heard the message notification, he stopped working and unlocked his phone.

Jason also stopped giving his report.

Luke played the voice message, and Bianca's gentle voice was heard. "Luke, I'll be having a business dinner with St. Heckler's developer tonight. You don't have to come and pick me up. If you're working overtime, remember to get the driver to pick up Lanie and Rainie from school."

As busy as she might be, she did not neglect her children.

"Alright," Luke replied gently.

Jason was not surprised anymore when he saw that gentle side of his boss. Only Bianca had the magic to make his boss fall in love with her.
