A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 192

"Mr. Xi, please don't worry. We'll talk after I've finished the conversation with Mr. Wang." Maria wanted to buy some time so that she could think about how to make James happy. After all, she made a lot of promises to Mr. Wang without even telling James in advance, which made her feel guilty.

James fell silent.

Mr. Wang was not stupid. He smiled and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had already made up his mind.

Honestly, he did not really believe Maria, much less the company that she had just started.

Since she could make James the guarantor and she dared to interrupt him for a conversation, Mr. Wang could tell that the relationship between the two was not ordinary. He would like to cooperate with her for the sake of James. If anything happened in the future, he planned on going straight to James.

Mr. Wang cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Song, I understand what you've said. Everyone knows that quality is the most important in a project. If you can guarantee that the quality of the product is excellent and it speaks for itself, I'll be fine with that."

Maria was overjoyed upon hearing his words. She glanced at James, who was wearing a slightly sullen expression, and reassured, "Of course! I am an honest businesswoman. I'm eager to gain a firm foothold in the city. You can rest assured that I'll definitely do this project well."

What she had promised actually came from the bottom of her heart. Mr. Wang had experienced the same situation she was currently in, so it was natural for him to understand where she was coming from. The company's initial development relied on its reputation. It needed time so that Maria could gain what she wanted in H City.

Mr. Wang nodded in response. "Mr. Xi and Ms. Song, if you are free, you can have a tour of my company. If you have no other concerns, we can sign the contract then."

As a matter of fact, he wanted to maintain a good relationship with James. But in order to do so, he had to cooperate with Maria.

Knowing that she had gained the opportunity to work with Mr. Wang on the project for certain, Maria felt relieved. She poured a glass of liquor for him and said, "That's not a problem. Just tell us when you're free, Mr. Wang."

"How about the afternoon of the day after tomorrow? I'll be on a business trip tomorrow and will come back by then."

"Deal!"

An hour later, Mr. Wang left. Maria sent him off herself. When she came back to the private room, she closed the door and sat on James's lap. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and coquettishly said, "James, we made it! I'm so happy. Why do you seem discontented?"

Maria was ecstatic. On the other hand, James did not seem so. She tricked him! Why should he be happy? "The guarantor? Soren Li? Give me an explanation." If he was not mistaken, he had to be the middleman for Soren and her.

Maria did not take his outburst seriously. Instead, she pecked on his lips and said seductively, "Oh, I'm sorry. Would an apology suffice?" "Nope." "An apology can't even satisfy you? Hmm. How about this? I'll give you fifty person of my first return on investment of this project." Maria believed that her offer was generous enough to make him feel better.

However, James was unconvinced. He pulled himself away from the woman who was trying to dwell on the trivial facts and avoid the important matters. "It's not about the money."

Maria decided not to pester him anymore. Instead, she got up and sat next to him. She then picked up a piece of pork using her chopsticks and brought it to his lips. "I know that, but it's not your loss. Don't be mad anymore. Please forgive me, okay?" she said with a smile.

James looked at the pork that was being served to him and replied sternly, "I don't eat pork. I eat human flesh."

Hearing this, Maria choked. She knew what he meant, and she had to satisfy him. With that, she stood up and held his arm. "Let's go, Honey. I'll take you out to eat human flesh."

A smile flashed across James' eyes, but he returned to his normal self right away. "Let go of me. It's not appropriate for you to do this," he said in his usual cold tone.

Maria looked at him and gritted her teeth in response. "You'd better think the same way later."

James lowered his head and sealed her lips with a kiss. "You'd better be arrogant as well later," he retorted with his lips attached to hers.

Maria fell silent. When facing a beast in bed, there was no way she could continue being arrogant.

In the evening, the battle in Fairview Villa was quite intense.
