Jean was passing the screenplay to Sean so that he could earn a rebate.
Sean smiled lightly. By phrasing her words ambiguously, Rose had managed to guide the other into misunderstanding the situation. It was a good tactic.
As expected, the person in charge took the bait. "Since Master Jean has agreed to pass the screenplay to you and on behalf of your sincerity, we shall sign the contract with you then."
Rose pulled the contract from her bag. "Well then, Mr. Collins, there's no better time like the present. Please take a look at the contract. We can sign today if there are no problems with it. I'm sure you’re aware that our chairman, Mr. Bell, has already given the order for the movie to begin filming before the Golden Week. I hope you can understand our difficulties and help us save a s much time as we can."
The person in charge flipped through the contract. Every item and section in this contract was more detailed than Jean's while at the same time not as imperious as the claims in Ares Enterprises were.
The furrowed brows of Mr. Collins noticeably relaxed, and the contract was signed.
Exiting the Cultural Center, Sean could not help from
voicing out the line of praises he had for Rose. " Orchid, you're a negotiation expert."
Rose spoke, "He’s not dumb. Our contract focuses way more on mutual benefit than Ares Enterprises'. It only makes sense that he would willingly sign ours."
Sean was curious. "How do you know what Ares Enterprises' contract holds?"
"I surfed around their inner system last night,” Rose spoke, her tone revealing the great mood she was in.
However, her words weighed heavy on Sean’s chest, crashing into him and leaving a gaping hole in its wake.
Although not too long after, Sean smiled sinisterly. " Looks like this is the end of the unbreakable bond between the Areses and the Bells."
Rose smiled shiftily.
Sean was a traitor, and he wished nothing more than the downfall of the Bells.
While she was a Severe, their alliances would certainly add oil to the burning fire between the two families.
It was a screenplay that Jean could have easily gotten his hands on, but he had his plans foiled by Sean. It made sense that the entire Ares family would be in an uproar.
During the weekend, the topic of the screenplay was brought up to Jay when he arrived at the Tourmaline
Estate with all three children in tow to visit Grand Old Master Ares as promised.
