His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Did I Let You Go

"Did I let you go?"

Jefferson had a cigarette clamped between his teeth, his eyebrows raised and his eyes fathomless.

Though puzzled, Elianna sat back silently.

Darren's eyes darted between them as he spoke, trying to smooth things over, "The food is good here, but the decor doesn't impress me. Next time, let's go to the Viridis District together. It offers tasty food, and the decor there is lovely."

Elianna knew that Darren said this to save her blushes, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

After this slight hiccup, Darren got on with the topic of the day.

"Jeff, I heard you're interested in putting Medfolk out to tender."

Medfolk gained policy support and was a new development zone in the planning. It was a prize worth having.

Many people drooled over it, including the Larsen family.

Brice even had his men talk about the deal, which showed the importance he attached to it. After a few rounds of negotiation, he finally thought that there was a chance of nailing down the project.

But unexpectedly, Jefferson stepped in and snatched the project from Brice.

Jefferson's move was thus seen as an act against the Larsen family, which soured relations between both sides.

Besides, Jefferson had rejected Brice's offer to work with him at the family dinner.

Brice thought Jefferson was going to do it on his own, but to his surprise, Jefferson put the word out that he would make an open bid.

The Larsen family was rightly jumpy.

Upon hearing this, Jefferson said lazily, "No more nonsense. Just get to the point."

Darren had already gotten used to Jefferson's temperament and said, "Whether it's economic strength or connections, the Larsen family compares favorably with any other family in Oakpool. Since you're going to invite bids for Medfolk, it'd be better to leave it to the Larsen family. At least we're a family, and it's convenient to do our jobs. All of us will get a piece of the profits. Anyway, none of us is gonna lose."

Hearing this, Elianna thought Darren was acting as a lobbyist for the Larsen family.

Then, Darren added, "By the way, this is the message from the Larsen family."
