Chapter 2290
“If it's not an internal decision, our chances of winning will be greater if we work together with thebidding. We have to secure the bid this time," said Jim after analyzing the situation.
"When the detailed announcement is out, we need to have a meeting to discuss it, and if there are noproblems, the company will start working on the bidding document." Luke took a sip of wine.
Once the three of their companies joined forces, got their quotations, and T Corporation put together aproposal, the other participating companies would not stand a chance against them, whether it be interms of price or quality of the project.
Moreover, the other companies would have greater competition in finding partnering companies afterthe three of them joined forces.
"Sure." Jim nodded as Luke would always come to him when his company needed entertainment forhis development projects.
Vice versa, when he needed construction for his entertainment projects, he would also go to Luke'scompany to conduct business.
They drank for a while longer, and when it was time to go home, Percy had the waiters bring over a fewbags to bring back the rest of the unopened wine.
After paying the bill, they headed out.
They had already called chauffeurs beforehand when they were in the room, and they were about toleave after they got to the door, but they saw Jean hugging a tree on the side of the road while throwingup.
"Look at that guy." Jim patted Percy's shoulder as he was the first to notice Jean.
"Jean?" The street lights were very bright, so Percy recognized at first glance that the guy throwing upwas Jean.
"He's vomiting so much. Just how much did he drink?" Percy could not help but wonder as a thug likeJean would definitely be good at drinking, so to be in this shape...
"He's even holding a wad of cash in his hands." Percy was not fond of Jean at all
Without Jean, perhaps it would have been a lot easier for him and Nina.
They fixed their eyes on Jean, who was holding onto the green tree with one hand and a wad of cash inthe other.
The wad of cash was estimated to be worth a couple of thousand dollars.
He was drinking with Pierre earlier, so it was very likely that Pierre gave the money to him.
"Let's go." Percy intended to ignore him as he was not finished with Pierre, so he did not want tomeddle with other matters.
"I'll be going." After noticing that Percy did not say anything, Jim walked up to his car as he did notenjoy rubbernecking either. Then, he told the chauffeur his address and got into the backseat.
Luke and Jason did the same and left respectively in their chauffeur's cars.
Percy returned to the car, and after the chauffeur confirmed the address with him, Percy slowly said,"Wait a moment."
"Yes, sir." The chauffeur remained silent and waited in the driver's seat.
Percy looked out the window to observe Jean's condition.
After vomiting for quite a while, he stood up straight and leaned against the tree while looking halfdead.
Percy still did not leave after that.
The staff member who stood at the door walked over to hand him a towel and seemingly told himsomething.
After Jean wiped his face with the towel, he just stood there with no intention of leaving.
After waiting a while, Percy saw Pierre come out and walk toward Jean. It seemed like they weretalking about something.
Percy was grim-faced as he watched Pierre smile and return to Bibbler's Tale after he finished talking,whereas Jean left drunkenly.
Although there was a distance between them, Percy could still tell that Jean left with a big smile on hisface while gripping the cash in his hands like it was a treasure.
"Let's go." Percy withdrew his gaze and let the chauffeur driver away.
"Yes, sir." The chauffeur drove away.
After Luke returned to the mansion, the lights were still on in the garden and living room.
The pale yellow light added a nice warm color to the blanket of white snow.
It also gave his heart a touch of warmth.
Luke walked into the house and took off his coat. He then walked up to the second floor and took ashower in the other bedroom as he knew that Luca did not like the smell of alcohol. After taking ashower and changing into clean pajamas, he sniffed himself again.
He made sure that he did not reek of alcohol before walking into Luca's bedroom.
Luca had already fallen asleep by now.
Luke's movements were light as he knew that she slept with the help of medication, so he lay down onthe bed as gently as possible.
Then, he reached his hand out to wrap Luca around the waist.
"You're back..." Luca murmured.
"I'm back. Go to sleep," Luke gently pressed against her face and whispered. He waited severalseconds before confirming that Luca was asleep, but she was not in a deep sleep, so he leaned closerto say those words.
He could not help but smile at how adorable she was.
His warm breath exhaled on Luca's face as she turned around to lie next to him face-to-face.
Her unconscious approach made Luke pleasantly surprised, so he held her in his arms quietly as helistened to their heart beating in between each other.novelbin
What a peaceful and beautiful night...
On the other hand.
Jean returned home in a drunken state. The living room lights were still on, and he made a face ofdisgust.
Marie was still living at his place.
Ever since he made money, he had zero feelings for Marie, and he tried everything to chase her out.However, she kept pestering him by staying here.
He was tired of her.
He kicked the door open and staggered inside.
“You're back." Marie stood up immediately, and in the next second, she looked at the money in hishands.
"Where did you get so much money?" Marie said in surprise. There must be at least a couple thousanddollars there, right?
Did Jean not spend most of the money he got from betraying Nina already? Why was there still somuch money left?
"It's none of your business. I earned this money myself. Why, do you want it?" Jean asked with a smileas he did not forget what Pierre said.
He must not let anyone know about the money he gave him.
"Can you give it to me?" Marie's eyes opened wide with greed. She was penniless. If she had left Jean,she might have already starved to death on the streets.
Besides, Jean was just using her as a punching bag. It was not just in bed as she had to endurebeatings when he was in a bad mood too.
The injuries on her body still hurt.
"Are you dreaming? You should be thankful that I gave you a place to sleep, yet you still dare ask mefor money? If you want money, go ask that rich grandfather of yours. Oh yeah, you and your mother
even stole a house from our family. How could you not have money?"
"I really don't have money!" Marie frowned. It was only the day before yesterday when she found outthe reason why Jean got together with her again.
It was for the money she took at that time.
