Chapter 569
Sure enough, Ryan asked, “What kind of dinner is it?”
“Martin’s hosting it. Also, he’s Nelson’s son. Martin wants to discuss some project matters, so I thought it would be necessary to prepare for it,” I spoke casually but startled Adrian and Ryan.
Ryan insisted, “I’ll come with you. You can’t deal with them alone. I’m the company’s general manager and have the right to participate in negotiations. You need me, especially since we’re in a foreign place.” Adrian agreed, “He’s right, Ms. Chloe. We don’t know how the people here, and safety is our priority.”
I sneered and dismissed their concerns, “You’re overthinking it. Just because they’re crafty doesn’t mean I fear them. I think they want to negotiate the terms with me, so I’ll talk to them. You’re giving them too much credit. However, I still need to make preparations.”
Ryan glared at me, saying, “You’re not allowed to be willful in this situation. We aren’t in Foswood. While we might feel reassured back home, you must ensure your safety here. Tell them I’m coming with you. We won’t talk if they refuse.”
His tone was firm, and his expression was severe. I understood he was genuinely concerned about me. After all, there had been frequent accidents involving us. However, I felt Martin and the others wouldn’t harm me because we were in Bourdamun.
No one would dare do something extreme on their own turf.
I said, “You don’t understand. Martin wants to discuss a substantial topic with me. He might avoid sharing details if you come.”
Ryan stared at me in frustration. “You’re right, I don’t understand!”
“Ryan, you might not understand, but Adrian does. This project is a rare opportunity for them, so they won’t just let it go. Martin’s eager to get involved, and I’m curious about his intentions.”
I looked at Adrian and earnestly continued, “It’s an excellent opportunity to obtain strong evidence against them. I can’t miss this chance, and they won’t back off, either.
“They want to control the project
and then have the authority to
assign it. They want to give it to me
most, among
they won’t others. That’s why
n’t harm me,” I turned to
Ryan and asked, “Do you know the earliest source of information about this project?”
He shrugged, and I continued, “It came from their people, and I managed to secure it. Also, they neglected precautions against me because I’m a woman. They don’t expect me to dig into their plans.”
“Rest assured, Ryan. I must secure
this project and proceed without
worries. I don’t want to win the project and then be vulnerable. There’s no turning back now. They just want to threaten me a little, but I doubt they dare hurt me.”
I analyzed the situation for Ryan and Adrian, “These people know what they can and cannot do. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have negotiated me
before securing the project
Martin and his people thought they hete all the cards, but I’ve
intercepted them.
“Also, one of their guys has dealt with us before. It’s that dirtbag named Jeremiah. He came to my room to invite me to dinner just now. Adrian, did you know Martin is Nelson’s son?” “Oh?”
Ryan and Adrian fell silent for a while.
Finally, Adrian looked up and suggested, “How about this? We can all go wherever you plan to meet, but Ryan and I will sit at a separate table. Then, we’ll be around if anything happens. “That’s better than sitting here and worrying about you, right? Ryan and I need to have dinner anyway.”
