Chapter 938 Cancel the Collaboration
“Is that a threat?” Eunice narrowed her eyes, beyond livid. “I’d like to call it advice,” said Tessa indifferently. “Hands off a married man!”
Her latter words made Nicholas’ heart melt, and he thought that his jealous wife, who was laying claim, was absolutely adorable. Tessa didn’t know what was running through Nicholas’ mind; she only felt better after giving Eunice a piece of her mind.
At that, she led Nicholas to the car, not giving a d*mn about how awful the woman looked. However, even after leaving, Tessa’s face was still tense with displeasure written all over it.
Of course, it hadn’t gone unnoticed by Nicholas, and he pulled her into his arms while cooing, “Still upset? How about we turn back around and give her another round of scolding?”
Tessa glared at the man, who seemed to be in a good mood at that. “Happy, are we? How can you have so many women throwing themselves at you?!”
While speaking, she pinched his cheeks in exasperation.
Nicholas, on the other hand, didn’t fight back but let her do as she pleased.
Moments later, Tessa got bored of it and let go of her husband. However, her displeasure hadn’t been alleviated.
After some thought, she then said, “Don’t come and pick me up anymore lest Eunice pesters you again.”
Nicholas frowned and opposed the idea at once. “If you don’t want to see her, leave it to me. There’s no need to jeopardize our alone time because of some insignificant people.”
Tessa thought he was right, and so she nodded in agreement in the end.
The next day, Nicholas had Edward call Taylor to his office the moment he arrived.
“You wanted to see me, sir?”
“Turn Walter’s project down,” Nicholas ordered impassively.
Taylor frowned in response, baffled. However, when he saw the displeasure his boss was oozing, he swallowed his words back down and said, “Got it. I’ll see to it right away.”
Following that, Walter received news of the termination in less than an hour.
Shocked, he hurriedly called Taylor. “Mr. Cheverell, haven’t we already shaken hands on the project? Why is it being terminated all of a sudden?”
“President Sawyer said so. I’m just a messenger,” answered Taylor concisely before ending the call at once.
Surprised that Nicholas was the one who terminated the collaboration, Walter rushed to Sawyer Group without even thinking.
At the CEO’s office, Edward knocked on the door and entered. “President, Mr. Walter’s here. He said that he wants to have a word with you.”
Nicholas frowned in response, having a good hunch as to the purpose of the man’s visit. In the end, he agreed to it.
Minutes later, Edward escorted Walter into Nicholas’ office.
“President Sawyer, may I please know the reason you’ve terminated our collaboration?” Walter asked at once upon seeing Nicholas. “Have we done something wrong?”
“I thought you’d know, Mr. Walter.” Nicholas’ icy voice made Walter inexplicably fearful, and his gaze flickered. However, the man decided to play dumb. “Do tell if there’s anything that has displeased you, President Sawyer. We will work on it.”
“I hate being pestered.” Nicholas shot him an icy glance and continued, “Also, my wife will get upset by it.”
Walter understood at once. His daughter must’ve done something to piss off Nicholas.
“I understand now, President Sawyer. It’s my fault for not disciplining Eunice. I’m sorry to have caused you trouble, and I will correct her once I go back.”
He apologized in every way he could, trying to salvage the collaboration. However, Nicholas remained unmoved.
On the other hand, Walter wasn’t willing to let go of this golden opportunity.
In the end, he suggested through gnashed teeth, “I know my daughter has offended you, but how about this, President Sawyer? Our company will concede another three percent of the profit.”
A glimmer flashed across Nicholas’ eyes as he looked at how much it pained Walter to make the offer, and he suddenly changed his mind.
