Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 11's
“Please correct me, Miss Lorie, at point number 10, it is mentioned that Drun Industry should not sell *microchip* it to the military or any state officials?”
“It's true. *Chip* it is only allowed for medical research and science,” replied Lorie calmly.
Rafael sneers. The friendly attitude that he had just displayed had now disappeared completely.
“Does Jotuns Corps think our company is a charity? We are interested in investing because of profit, not for the sake of medical and science,” he said in a voice filled with scorn. “Again, since when did Alex Smith become so generous?”
Lorie smiled knot and replied, “Ah .. forgive us, Mr. Rafael. There is a sentimental story behind the discovery of the object that Alex Smith could not cross his boundaries. He does not want it to be abused, especially if it is used as a weapon that can control certain troops ..”.
“Sentimental feelings cannot make money, Miss ...”
“Didn't you have discussed this with Mr Alex before?” Lorie reminded the man across the table while smiling meaningfully. The man agreed beforehand, which was why Alex Smith had sent him here, why now did he make that an excuse?
“I changed my mind,” replied Rafael casually, as if he was challenging the limits of Lorie's patience. “The money I will invest is not in small amounts, Miss. And I want it back doubled.”
“Honey once ... In that case, I think Jotuns Corps has not been able to cooperate with your company, Mr. Rafael.” Lorie took back the document and put the sheets of paper into the map.
“Don't be in a hurry to leave, despite not reaching an agreement, at least allow me to entertain you first, Miss,” said Rafael flicking his hand.
Shortly after, two servants entered the room pushing a trolley containing a tray of shiny-looking stainles. They both stopped at the side of the table and opened the food cover. In an instant a delicious fragrance poured out in the air. Deftly the dishes containing the dishes are laid out on the table.
“This is the best Royal Club dish, you should taste it before going home to Broocklyn.” Rafael rubbed his hands together and looked at Lorie with interest. “Since you don't drink alcohol, I've asked people to replace it with mineral water and fruit juice. It's okay, isn't it? Or do you have a special request, Miss Lorie?”
All the dishes on the table and the words spoken by Rafael made Lorie unkind to refuse. The host was already like that, it would be very disrespectful if he again rejected his offer. Finally, while reviewing a faint smile, Lorie took out a plate filled with steak and mineral water, then toasted with Rafael.
“I really hope so, Miss.” Rafael raises a glass filled with whiskey and toasts with Lorie. “Please enjoy the meal.”
Despite a slight hesitation, Lorie still cut the medium rare roasted meat before her and stuffed the piece of meat into the mouth. The taste is indeed delicious, with a blend of savory and fragrant barbeque sauce. Lorie really liked the taste of the food, but her alertness level did not decrease at all. There was something in Rafael's gaze that made him feel uncomfortable. It was like ...the man was eyeing and waiting for him to let his guard down.
“I heard, you are a former bodyguard for Alex Smith's wife?” Rafael opened a personal and non-offensive conversation about their cooperation being void.
“Yes. That's right,” Lorie replied briefly. He did not want to relax his vigilance.
Secretly the woman felt sorry, why did not ask Jenifer to find a companion for her, or at least ask George to accompany her. Now he could only speed up his meal so that he could get out of the place immediately.
“It looks like your relationship with Alex Smith is quite good.”
“Can be said like that.”
“If I captivate you to barter with that microchip, do you think he'll hand it over?”
Lorie almost choked on hearing that unreasonable question. He took mineral water and drank it to the end. Suddenly**** his meal just disappeared. Meanwhile, across the table, Rafael chuckles in satisfaction at Lorie's reaction.
“I'm just joking, don't take it too seriously, Miss ..” said Rafael with a big smile.
Lorie took the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth with a graceful gesture. His steak is over.
He immediately got up and picked up his bag, then said, “If there is such a thought, you better forget it. Alex Smith would have leveled Drun Industry with the ground if he dared to do that. Thank you for dinner this.”
The woman bowed at a glance before turning around and stepping towards the door without waiting for a response from Rafael. He was tired of seeing the man. Fortunately the cooperation was not done, otherwise it would be very annoying if you had to meet the man at all times.
