Chapter 384 - THE CONTRACT (1/2)

In the evening, Han Luo came back home. She found her team members in the living room.

”Good evening, Miss Han. How was your day?” Thomas greeted her.

”Good evening, Miss Han.” Others also greeted him.

She smiled at them. ”Good evening, everyone. You must be tired after work. Please relax. I'll be joining you soon.”

After freshening up, Han Luo went to the living room with a file.

Johnathan enthusiastically asked, ”What's the news? Did you buy the shop?”

”Did they take the original price or much higher? Did you bargain?” Nancy questioned her.

Thomas inquired, ”I thought you said the shop is a bit suspicious. Did you still buy it despite feeling this way?'

”What? Did you have a second thought about this? Why didn't you tell us?” Nancy asked. She was furious.

Han Luo shrugged. ”I thought I was overthinking it, so I didn't want to add more worry.”

”So, did you find anything?” Johnathan asked.

”You didn't hire a private investigator to dig more information, did you?” Nancy snapped at her. ”I can't believe you wasted money from our limited budget because of your false speculation.”

Han Luo quietly stated, ”I didn't even say anything and you are accusing me of things I didn't do.”

Nancy frowned. She demanded an answer, ”Are you saying that you didn't spend budget money? Then where did you get money to hire an investigator?”

”If it's her private money, we have nothing to say in that matter,” Thomas added. ”So, did you find anything?”

Han Luo told them, ”My private investigator did find something but that's not important anymore because the shop is already bought…”

Nancy retorted, ”What? You bought the shop despite it having some problems? Why did you do that?”

”Nancy, please zip your lips and listen to me first. I haven't finished talking.” Han Luo reprimanded her. Seeing that she was offended, Nancy shut up.

After shutting her up, Han Luo spilled the beans, ”Well, there was a problem but I had requested President Smith to take care of it. He even offered to sell the shop for five thousand pounds instead of seven hundred and twenty five thousand pounds. Additionally, he is so generous that he promised me that he would renovate the whole shop just the way Isla designed it.”

Everyone was speechless. They couldn't believe that President Smith was so generous.

Thomas fixed his glasses and said, ”That can't be happening. He is more like a ruthless businessman I've ever known.”

Han Luo gave a sweet smile. ”Well, he had to do it for our sake. Since we are a good team, he wanted to support us.”

”How can that be…” even Johannes was dumbfounded.

Something definitely happened for President Smith to be so generous.

What actually happened?”

A few hours ago –

Han Luo smiled and shook hands with him. ”Good evening, President Smith. It's an honor to meet you. Thank you for your and Larry's generous offer about the shop we would like to buy. Shall we discuss the contract?”

”Of course, please sit down.” President Luther Smith smiled. He sat down and so did Han Luo. He said, ”I believe you already know the price of the shop. I think my son Larry told you that he is going to offer you this shop instead of giving it to Alexander Smith.”

President Luther Smith's eyebrows creased at her words. ”What do you mean? Are you trying to get back your words?”

Without a word, Han Luo gave him the file she was carrying. President Luther Smith took the file and opened it. After reading the doc.u.ments, he threw the file on the table. ”What is the meaning of this?” His white face turned red in anger.

Han Luo calmly spoke, ”It is as you see. President Smith is an extraordinary man who achieved so many things with his hard work and intelligence. Unfortunately, he couldn't become a good father. His second son is involved with the drug. Not only did he drown himself in drug addiction, he even included his friends with him. Moreover, they were doing it in a shop that is under the Smith Corporation.”

”Where do you want to go with this?” he asked. Blue veins already popped in his forehead.

Han Luo innocently shook her head. ”Nowhere. I just want to buy the shop with five thousand pounds.”

”That's preposterous!” President Luther Smith slammed the table.
