Chapter 501 The One Who Made the Soup
Albert made a welcoming gesture in a very polite manner. Grace nodded slightly and walked in.The difference in treatment was worlds apart!Jessica wasn't able to stomach getting the cold shoulder. She hurried forward and stopped Albert in his tracks.
“Mr. Barnes, Landon Group is sincere about this opportunity. If we can establish a collaboration with your company, we can giveyou 50% of the profits. | hope you'll give us a chance."
50% of profits?That was no small sum!Albert was a businessman, so Jessica didn't believe he would give up such a huge chunk of profits.
Albert's lip curved into a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. He paused to scrutinize Jessica seriously. He said, "Do you think |lack money?"
When Jessica heard that, she had a bad feeling.
She immediately explained, "Mr. Barnes, please don't get the wrong idea. I'm just expressing how genuine | am about workingtogether. | didn't mean anything else by it.”
Albert snorted coldly. "Working together? I'm sorry. Barnes Group may not be a major financial magnate, but we are still verywell-reputed in Pamore.
"We have standards when it comes to choosing our collaboration partners. I'm afraid Landon Group is not being considered.Please head back, Ms. Landon."
Jessica was dumbfounded.
She had never thought that Albert would reject her so directly without sparing her feelings. This made her extremely upset, andher initial humiliation turned into fury.
"Mr. Barnes, are you sure you want to pass up on Landon Group? You do know that the Landon Group is the only designatedcompany working with the government—"
Albert merely chuckled lightly. "So what? If | don't see your value, then that's final. Someone, show her to the door!"
Without any consideration for Jessica's feelings, Albert turned around and left. As Jessica watched him leave, she stomped herfoot in anger.
At that moment, a security guard walked over. "Miss, Mr. Barnes has requested that you leave at once. Don't make things difficultfor us."
Jessica bit her lip harshly. With a cold snort, she turned around and left.novelbin
On the other hand, as soon as Albert stepped into the conference room, Grace couldn't help but tease him. "Mr. Barnes, are yousure you won't regret rejecting a thriving company for Amirate Corporation?"
"Ms. Lewis, it's not like you just met me. We've worked together for so long. Have you ever seen me desperate before?"
Grace smiled knowingly. "I certainly haven't. You've always had a unique vision. It shows in the way you choose your partners."
Albert burst out laughing. "Ms. Lewis, are you praising me or yourself?"Grace arched her brow. "Did I? | guess there's a double meaning!" she quipped back.
