Chapter 273
When Ryan reached the parking lot, he spotted Ada standing by his car with a faint smile.
“Mr. Anderson, there are a few points in the contract between Perficient and Anderson Corporation that I find unclear. Could you please clarify them for me?”
Ryan responded indifferently, “You can seek clarification from my secretary tomorrow.”
Ada smiled. “Since you don’t want to talk about work, how about we discuss something else, like the fact that you have feelings for Silvia?”
His expression instantly darkened, and his gaze toward Ada became icy.
The next day, Dulcie entered Silvia’s office in excitement.
“Anderson Corporation wants to collaborate with us! They intend to allocate a store for us in each of their shopping centers!”
Silvia was genuinely surprised this time. She thought Ryan’s words last night had merely been for show.
However, she was not particularly keen on collaborating with him. After all, he and Neil were good friends. She might come into more contact with Neil due to this collaboration.
“Tell Mr. Anderson that we’re not looking to expand our stores for the time being.” Dulcie frowned. “Why? Do you know how many shopping centers they have? If we can collaborate with Anderson Corporation, our profits might double.”
“Ryan and Neil are good friends.”
“That doesn’t matter. We’re collaborating with Anderson Corporation, and we’ll rent those. stores at the standard price. We won’t take advantage of Ryan. If you’re worried, you can pay additional rent. What do you think?”
Silvia contemplated for a while before she said, “Alright. I’ll put you in charge of this.”
“Got it.”
After Dulcie left, Silvia did some pondering and decided to call Ryan’s secretary. She wanted to treat Ryan to a meal.
After all, it was not easy to have a store in Anderson Corporation’s shopping centers. It typically involved a bidding process.
“Please hold on for a second.”
Soon, she heard Ryan’s gentle voice through the phone.. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Miss Pond, I’ll be on a week–long business trip to Feronia from tomorrow. If you’d like to treat me to dinner, it has, to be tonight. Otherwise, you might have to wait until I return from my trip.”
She did not expect the secretary to connect the call to Ryan. After a brief moment of surprise, she replied, “Let’s do it tonight, then. I’ll ask my secretary to book a private room. What kind
of cuisine do you prefer, Mr. Anderson?”
“Anything is fine.”
“Okay.”
After the call ended, Silvia instructed her secretary to book a table at a French restaurant.
Meanwhile, Ryan broke into a smile. He looked forward to his evening with Silvia.
He put down his phone and asked his secretary, “What do you think of my outfit today?”
His secretary was caught off guard by the question. He quickly composed himself and responded, “It suits you very well.”
“Alright. Carry on with your work.”
Ryan had just picked up a document to read when Neil called.
“Ryan, about the store space that you agreed to give to Perficient, I heard that you gave it to another company. Is that true?”
After a brief pause, Ryan calmly said, “Yes, I had a conversation with Dulcie at the party last night and felt that MY Corporation needs it more. I plan to collaborate with them.”
“Why are you helping MY Corporation all of a sudden?”
Neil had planned to give Silvia the best store under Remus Corporation, but he was worried that she might refuse his offer. He was figuring out a way to collaborate with her, but Anderson Corporation beat him to it.
“Silvia has taken care of you for two years, and I don’t want to see her struggling so much
anymore.
“I’ll handle it myself. You don’t need to interfere.”
“The contract between Anderson Corporation and MY Corporation has already been signed.”
There was a cold glint in Neil’s eyes when he heard this, and his voice deepened.
“This is between me and Silvia. I hope you’ll refrain from interfering with our affairs in the
future.‘
Ryan subconsciously tightened his grip on the phone as he tried to hold back his emotions.
