Chapter 932 Meeting With Nicholas
Sure enough, Tessa’s attention had been diverted, and she nodded in agreement before hitting the shower. The following day, Nicholas dropped Tessa and Gregory off at the orchestra after breakfast.
After arriving, he followed the mother and son out of the car worriedly and went up to Tessa, reminding her, “Call me if anything happens, alright? Don’t let yourself suffer any grievances.”
Tessa nodded in acknowledgment, feeling touched, for she knew Nicholas was concerned about her and Eunice getting into another fight.
It wasn’t until he watched Tessa and Gregory enter the building that he returned to his car and drove away.
Minutes after he arrived at the company, Edward knocked on his office door and walked up to his desk deferentially, reporting, “Mr. Addison arrived half an hour ago, insisting that he wanted to see you, President. I’ve arranged for him to wait at the antechamber. Would you like to meet him now?”
Nicholas was a little surprised, for he had expected Addison to take a few days to sort things out after shaking hands on the project at the cocktail party. Who would have thought he’d get it done after a day?!
At that, he nodded and headed to the antechamber, only to find both Addison and Walter sitting there.
The latter had deliberately tagged along when he learned that Addison was meeting with Nicholas on this day, for he had a project he wanted to collaborate with Nicholas too.
“Put in a few good words for me to President Sawyer, will you? If this works out, I’ll owe you one.”
He wished Addison could help him out, and the latter didn’t turn him down either.
As the two chatted, they heard footsteps coming from outside, and in seconds, Edward entered with Nicholas following right behind.
Following the CEO’s entrance, both Addison and Walter felt an invisible sense of intimidation hurled at them, rendering them stumped for a second before coming to themselves.
“President Sawyer.” The two stood up and exchanged pleasantries.
Nicholas nodded in response.
He was rather surprised to see Water present as well, but he said nothing.
“Have a seat.” At that, he turned to Addison and cut to the chase. “Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll have a look at the contract now.”
Addison nodded in acknowledgment and handed Nicholas the document. “Please verify it. If there are any issues, I’ll amend it right away.”
Nicholas nodded and lowered his head to check.
Then again, since they already shook hands on the deal during the cocktail party, there were barely any issues with the contract.
After going through the necessary procedures, Nicholas signed the paper right away.
He had a handsome signature, magnificent and flowy.
“Pleasure doing business with you,” said Nicholas while standing on ceremony. He then returned the document to Addison after signing it.
Addison, on the other hand, hurriedly took it from him and beamed so brightly that wrinkles formed at the corner of his eyes. “The pleasure is all mine.”
One couldn’t blame him for being elated, for the profit made in this deal was equivalent to the money his company could make in one season.
Nicholas nodded and stood up, planning to leave. “I still have other things to attend to. Please help yourselves to the door.”
“President Sawyer, please hold up.” Walter became anxious when he noticed that Nicholas was leaving.
“Yes, Mr. Walter?” Nicholas stopped in his tracks and looked icily at Walter, who gulped, feeling somewhat panicky.
It could just be his imagination, but he thought the young man’s gaze at him was rather unwelcoming.
It’s just my imagination, right? I’ve never crossed this guy before.
Despite letting his mind wander elsewhere, he stated his purpose of being here. “I hope you can spare me a few minutes, President Sawyer. I have a pretty decent project that I’d like to collaborate with you.”
Addison had chilled at this point, and he hurriedly put in a good word for his friend, saying, “My friend’s project is pretty decent, President Sawyer. If my company had enough funds to back it up, I would’ve wanted a slice of it as well.”
Nicholas didn’t turn Walter down after hearing their words and instead sat back down on the couch, saying monotonously, “Do you have the proposal with you?”
“I do. Here, if you’ll please have a look.” Walter handed Nicholas the papers, which the latter looked through on the spot.
