Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 100

"Mr. Carnes, you can rest assured. I've got the contract ready. As long as you swing by, we can kick off our partnership."

Silver was pumped. EliteEdge Consortium had been a big deal in the country for a while. Most renovation teams had to source their materials from them. If he could strike a deal with EliteEdge Consortium at a low price, it would be a serious cash cow for him.

"Alright, Mr. Brown, I'll be there in half an hour."

Silver hung up, grinning from ear to ear. He told his assistant to start prepping and grabbed his coat. He reached the building's entrance, and just as the assistant parked the car in front of him, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Mr. Carnes."

Silver froze, his smile fading instantly. He turned to see Maja.

Maja maintained her cold demeanor, giving a small nod. "You didn't answer your phone, so I had to wait here. Is our previous contract still valid?"

Silver wore an awkward expression. "Penny, you're here. I didn't get any notice from the reception."

Maja knew he was playing the fool. But that was how the adult world worked. Everyone was playing a part.

"That's my bad, Mr. Carnes. I've recently landed a new project and wanted to discuss it with you ASAP. It's a project from Ian, and I'm sure our collaboration will be mutually beneficial."

"Penny, I've got a business trip and really don't have time to look at your proposal. Let's talk when I get back."

It was clearly a brush-off. Silver had probably found a new partner but hadn't signed the contract yet, so he wanted her to wait.

Maja got the hint.

"I've always worked with you since I started. I thought we were tight. If you've found a better partner, please let me know directly so that I can make arrangements in advance. After all, there is also pressure from Mr. Raymond's side to finalize the deal."

Silver was indeed interested in Ian's project. But in reality, even if he provided the renovation team, the main beneficiary would still be the designer. The renovation company was not directly involved and can at most be credited for executing the design well.

Furthermore, all of Maja's previous clients praised her for being hands-on and going to the construction site herself. They were completely overshadowed by the designer and didnt got much from it.
