She was right, and her guards were up. He didn't come just to say hi.
“And what's your plan?”
“Stop your dealings with Norton Corporation.” Jake was blatant with his request.
What?That's never gonna happen. Not in a million years!
“Jake, what are you up to exactly?” She was skeptical about him.
“Can't you see that I'm helping you to get hold of Larry?”
He must be kiddinglEven the dumbest of the dumbest knows the consequences of severing ties with Norton Corporation. Larry would definitely
hold a grudge till the end of time.
“You may leave. It's out of the question.” Della responded coldly.
She'd moved heaven and earth to build up this partnership with Larry, and nothing could make her give up this connection between them.
“Ms. Duff, trust me. He'll be yours.”
“So, what's the deal?” Della pressed her lips flat.
“Larry will only be able to see how important you're to him once you've ended your partnership with Norton Corporation, no?”
Jake's words tugged at her heartstrings, and she bobbed her head to his words.
“So? Do you think it's doable?”
Jake asked impishly.
Della wasn't sure, but eventually said yes.
“Are you sure it's going to work?” Still, she was worried.
“Positive.” Jake was calm and firm.
Ring—Ring—Ring...
It was her phone.
Della picked it up straight away when she saw the caller ID.
“Hi, Della. Where are you?” It was her father.
“I'm at home in Chanaea.” She regained her gentility.
“My dear, listen to me. Don't make any rash decisions. Sometimes things are just not meant to be.” His voice was brimmed with concern.
