Chapter 823
That noon, about four to five international moguls were in the private room, all of them with golden hair. They were outstanding figures in the country, and they were present in the room for an international collaboration. Once the deal was made, the Bailey family would gain up to ten billion bucks every year.
However, they were only willing to give a 50-percent ratio to the Baileys while Anthony wanted 70 percent. The deal was difficult to achieve.
Anthony walked down the golden corridor while Luke followed behind him, running through the details. Right after that, he eyed Anthony warily." President, do we have to bring Ms. D'Cruz along? Will she be able to help?"
"Don't worry, I've taken part in many negotiations on the D'Cruz family's behalf. I’ll be able to provide some help," answered Waverly.
She had to follow them. She must help Anthony to secure this tedious deal so he would think fondly of her.
Anthony did not reject it as he walked toward the room, and the door was pushed open.
The palace-like grand, luxurious hotel's room had a marble table by the window.
Waverly followed behind Anthony as they walked toward the round table.
A few moguls stood up and genially extended their hand.
"President Bailey."
Anthony shook each of their hands and sat down before the table.
Someone asked jokingly, "Is this President Bailey's fiancee?"
'Yes, and though she looks average, she's quite capable. Perhaps she might change your mind today," replied Anthony. 1
A man with golden hair asked, "Really? It seems that Ms. Waverly is quite promising. Let's have a glass of wine, let's see how capable you are," he commented as he poured red wine into a glass.
Waverly did not hold the 'she looks average' comment against Anthony as she eventually blended in with the group.
She relished the feeling of sitting beside Anthony, and all of them treated her as Anthony's woman. She raised her glass of red wine and elegantly said, "As Anthony's fiancee, let me make a toast to everyone."
"Okay, here's a toast!"
The few men drank the red wine readily, treating the red wine like whiskey.
Waverly initially wanted to take just a sip, but seeing their gesture, she had to finish the entire glass.
Drinking wine meant for tasting burned the throat, but with Anthony by her side, her red lips curled up happily.
She was the one accompanying Anthony, sitting beside him, and Charmine? 1
Hah! She was probably jealous and sad all by herself.
She wanted to fight and compete with her? How ignorant! 1
Another man said, "It’s the first time we see President Bailey bringing out his fiancee for a meeting. Of course we must make a toast to Mrs. Bailey!"
The man filled his and Waverly's glass.
