The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 174

Nicole had a lot on her plate.

The development of the real estate project was not going well. The developer changed their mind at the last minute about the price they originally negotiated for.

The developer wanted to raise the price by 30% on top of the original price.

Of course, Nicole would not agree to it.

This project was a top priority in the real estate arm of Stanton Corporation, so it was of great importance.

The people sent to negotiate terms with the developer returned without success because the developer was adamant.

With the stalemate, Stanton Corporation incurred a daily loss of up to ten million dollars.

Grant was abroad for an inspection, so this problem fell on Nicole.

Looking at the records of their previous negotiations, Nicole felt that the developer's attitude was somewhat surprising.

What was the reason for their sudden assertiveness?

Logan saw Nicole's puzzled eyes and explained, "I’ve inquired about this. It seems that someone has

contacted this developer, Tobias Stone, promising him new projects and high commission. I think he wants t o use this opportunity to make more demands with u s."

Nicole frowned. "Did you find out who it was?"

Logan shook his head. "No, he’s very tight-lipped about it. If we look for developers abroad, the cost of a round trip is very high, so it isn't worth it."

That was why they still did not finish him off.

Nicole paused. "Make an appointment with him."

She would not let others take the upper hand.

"Yes, ma’am."

Tobias Stone agreed quite quickly as if he had expected it.

Nicole arrived at the appointed place on time, but Tobias was a few minutes late.

Her face was already gloomy because of the wait.

Once Tobias arrived, he apologized repeatedly. "I’m sorry, Ms. Stanton. I got delayed by something."

Although he apologized, his attitude was not apologetic but rather smug.
