While Amelia was still confused, Wayion continued on, "Also, after the completion of the Eastern project, I will not give you another discount anymore. Moreover, I won't allow you to be double-minded. I must be your only material supplier in the future. Oh, by the way what I want isn't just a verbal promise. I have already added this to the contract, it's on the first line..."
Amelia looked down at the contract in a hurry and thought, "Wow, he really did add it!"
"If you agree to my terms, sign it then."
Wayion used his right hand to support his cheek. Although it was clearly a girl's move. However, when he did it, it did not feel weird at all.
Sometimes money would really grow on trees but Amelia happened to believe that there were no free meals in the world.
What was more, Wayion's 'one and only' term was too overbearing. What could she do if he supplied faulty materials to the corporation in the future, where could Amelia ask for help by then?
"Mr. Zouch, I..."
Just as Amelia was about to refuse, Wayion said lightly, "Oh, President Ramsay, for the sake of our soon-to-be cooperation, allow me to share some news with you. As far as I'm concerned, there's a construction company that is collecting a large number of raw materials recently. If you did take over the Eastern District project but don't have enough materials to complete it, how are you going to build the theme park, do you plan to rely on the countless bodies of your corporation?"
Hearing this, Amelia's heartbeat fasten. Each and every word from Wayion made her thought of someone!
And this person was very likely to be the one who worked together with the Environmental Protection Bureau and framed their corporation!
Kaiden said, "I've heard about it too Amelia. Actually, I came here to tell you that the construction materials in Northville are constantly being bought by another construction company at an extremely fast speed. You'd better stock up as many materials from the border cities as soon as possible."
Kaiden's words gave Amelia great pressure. She felt Kaiden was trying to hint her that she should hurry up and accept the offer made by Wayion.
However, Wayion and Kaiden had known each other beforehand and Kaiden's attitude towards her was never clear. So Amelia could not completely trust
him or Wayion.
"Could it be that the two of them are working together to trick me?" Amelia thought about this conspiracy.
However, if she did not sign the contract brought by Wayion, she really had to buy materials from other cities.
So annoying!
Amelia was jumping and shouting in her mind. Why did she arranged to live in a world full of conspiracy like this?
She suddenly felt that it was not that bad to live a life like Brittany, being a naive little princess. She would just do whatever others asked her to do. She did not need to think about anything by herself.
"The happiest way of life is to not think about anything and to not know about anything."
Amelia sighed deep down as she knew that the Apex Construction Corporation could not withstand any more storm at a time like this.
She decided to choose a more reliable way even if she would be reckoned as a fool by Kaiden and Wayion. "Mr. Zouch, I think I've already understood your kindness and your offer. How about you leave this contract here first, after I've gone through all the terms of the contract, I'll then decide whether to sign this contract or not." "It's so troublesome. I've almost been here more than I needed to," said Wayion. He then switched and use his right hand to support his cheek leaving a red mark on the left side of his handsome face. However, Wayion was not bothered by it anyhow.
Amelia immediately promised, "Whether I sign this contract or not, I will personally send it to your hotel by then."
"Hmm... Al...right...then..." Wayion reluctantly spat out the sentence in a longer intonation. It was clear that he was a rather lazy person but this time, he had lost to Amelia who was really cautious to the extent that she would notice a pin-drop.
Had it not been for 'Quartley' asking him to do so, Wayion would have grabbed the contract and left long ago.
