Vinson's eyes darkened, but he soon schooled his features back to a neutral look.
It seems like the Greenes are adamant about making me bow to them.
“I understand,” he quietly replied. “Tell them that I won't be free at night, so let's have lunch tomorrow instead. At the same time, ask the chairman of Yeager Group if he's free to meet me in Zaprington.”
“Yeager Group?” The representative of the subsidiary company paled upon hearing the company's name.
Yeager Group was Larson Group's rival, and the competition between the two companies was fierce.
However, Yeager Group did not have Horington's largest company—Greene Corporation—to back them up, so they were not as well-established as Larson
Group.
Meeting with Yeager Group meant that Vinson was planning to collaborate with another company.
“I understand.” The other man nodded and instantly contacted Yeager Group.
Yeager Group was more than delighted to agree to meet at a restaurant in
Zaprington in an hour.
In the meantime, Susanne was even more distressed after Vinson hung up on her.
My dumb son! He has a high IQ, but he's not flexible when it comes to dealing with people. What if the Greenes get annoyed and start sabotaging his business deals?
After a long while of contemplation, Susanne decided to appease Cecilia first.
A moment of hesitation later, Susanne called Cecilia and enthusiastically said, “What are you planning to bake on Monday? I'll have the housekeeper prepare the ingredients first. That way, you can just come without needing to bring anything along.”
Cecilia's lips slowly curled.
“Well, that'll be too much trouble for you...
“No, no, it's fine. We're friends, after all.
No need for pleasantries.”
At that, Cecilia said, “Then I look forward to the day we become a family.”
