Chapter 934 What If Nicholas Takes a Liking to Her?
“So what if they’re married? They might not even love each other. I heard the only reason they got married was that he got Tessa pregnant,” Eunice said with pity. “What a waste of such a good man to be with a woman like her.”
Walter frowned, amused with anger by his daughter’s absurd logic. “Whether they love each other or not has nothing to do with you. Don’t you dare bother President Sawyer.”
The potential jeopardy of the collaboration aside, Nicholas was already a married man! How ugly would it sound if people learned that his daughter interfered in someone else’s marriage?!
Seeing that it was still a hard no from her father, Eunice, unwilling to resign, pulled out her trump card at once.
“Daddy, I know what you’re worried about. I promise you I won’t cross the line. I just want to win over the person I like. What if Mr. Sawyer takes a liking to me? You can’t say that I’ve ruined their marriage then, can you?” At that, she wrapped her arms around Walter’s, whining and pleading in every way possible. “Come on, Daddy… Please… Just say yes…”
A doting dad himself, Walter gave in in no time and ultimately agreed to it. “Alright, you can deliver the documents but with conditions.”
“You’re the best, Daddy!” Elated, Eunice hugged her father, who enjoyed her fawning.
As for why he would agree to her request in the end, her words enlightened him and had him thinking. What if Nicholas actually takes a liking to Eunice? It can possibly happen, after all…
By then, their strong alliance would make them the overlords of the Vienna market!
Moments later, he nudged her away and admonished, “I might have agreed to it, but you can only do this as a training assistant. Also, you can’t meddle in this project or piss President Sawyer off and jeopardize our collaboration.”
“I got it, Daddy. Don’t worry.” Eunice nodded with a smile, her amber eyes twinkling brightly.
Sometime later, she left Walter’s office while feeling elated.
…
Inside the CEO’s office of Sawyer Group, Edward looked hesitantly at Nicholas after he was done reporting work, to which Nicholas noticed and asked, “Do you have something to say?”
“President, are you seriously considering working with Walter?” Edward voiced his doubts at once.
He thought it was weird as he knew Nicholas hated Eunice, but now, his boss had decided to collaborate with her family’s company.
At that, Nicholas answered plainly, “Business is business; a collaboration is still possible. Besides, I won’t be in charge of this in the end. Taylor will see to it once it’s finalized.”
Edward understood it at once and nodded, leaving the office to return to his work.
Later in the day, Nicholas had Edward return home after clocking out while the former picked Tessa and Gregory up at the orchestra.
However, who’d have thought he’d find Eunice approaching him as soon as he got out of his car?
“We meet again, Mr. Sawyer.” She smiled alluringly, seeming like she had forgotten about the episode the other day.
Nicholas, on the other hand, said nothing but only took an icy gander at her with displeasure laced in his eyes.
Her smile stiffened for a second, but she recovered very quickly and teased, “Don’t you think you’re being a little cold, Mr. Sawyer? We’re future partners, after all, no?”
However, the man still wouldn’t bother himself with her.
Meanwhile, Tessa and Gregory were coming out of the building, and the former turned grim, for she found Eunice pestering her dear husband again.
Gregory, too, was far from happy as he grumbled, “Why does that woman keep going up to Daddy?! Daddy’s clearly very annoyed with her.”
Albeit, Tessa said nothing but led the little guy over to them.
Meanwhile, having lost all patience, Nicholas was about to snap when he noticed his beloved wife and son approaching in his direction, and the frost in his eyes melted instantly.
