287 The proposal (1/2)

But, when he arrived and saw them, he realized they were not interested in doing a project with Full Moon Corp, but with Long Corp instead. Apparently a proposal from them had been rejected but they did not give up. They were planning to coax him to help them bring the project to fruitful.

As if he was a gullible person.

His father had a reason why he rejected the project. And he believed in his father's decision.

”Would you like to order more?” Wong Ah Keong asked nervously. He was waiting for his partner to open his mouth to propose the project but this partner was his refused to do it. He kept poking him to do it instead.

Of course, Wong refused. He was there as a support. He was not the one in charge of the program.

”No need. I'm good,” Jeremy replied. He prepared to stand up. They had spent enough time just sitting there doing nothing. He still had a lot of work to do at the office.

The men were uneasy seeing Jeremy did not plan to stay long.

What should they do now?

”If there is nothing more, I would like to return to my office. Thank you for the lunch,” Jeremy nodded at the dishes on the table.

”Wh… wait…” Wong cried, stopping Jeremy from walking away.

Jeremy turned to look at them, cocking an eyebrow. A smile was hovering above her lips but he did not show it. Finally, they were ready to begin the proper 'discussion'.

He wanted to see what they would say to change his mind.

Well, at least they did not suggest to do this discussion at a club and order him a few girls to 'entertain' him. If they dared to suggest it, he would reject their invitation immediately.

He had rejected so many business discussions held at clubs before. Hence, these people would always invite him for lunch and dinner to discuss business. For his part, he always did it in a proper meeting room or in an office. His little sister was mostly dealing with magazines and shows and now, with the media social too. So, she was not exposed to this side of the business.

He faked a cough to cover himself. He could not believe he could think about something else when doing the business lunch. He focussed back to the two men in front of him. He smiled seeing they were still trying to find words to 'woo' him.

”Actually, the reason why we invited you for this lunch is that…” Wong looked at Kim, waiting for his partner to continue. He already did the introduction.

”… because… because… Would you like to drink…” Kim's eyes looked around. He had to think about the budget for this lunch but at the same time he wished by buying a bottle of expensive alcoholic drink would make it easier for Young Master Long to give them another chance for the project.

”I don't drink during lunch,” Jeremy said calmly.

Their face changed. Had they read the atmosphere wrongly?

Jeremy smiled. He did not have the mood to help them. He really wanted to see how were they going to present the project. So far he was seeing their lack of confidence. Was he that scary? So many people liked him. Well, mostly girls. Every time he posted something in his media social, he would receive so many likes and comments from his fans. Of course, when he was in his singer persona, he was very friendly, full of smile and suave. But, when doing business, he tended to be a serious, no-nonsense man. He managed to divide these two faces perfectly until Mika grumbled hating his hypocrite attitude, forgetting that she had two personas as well.

Kim took a deep breath to calm himself. He was the leader for the project and when it was rejected, he was given a week to change their mind. He tried to find the reason why it was rejected and learned that the project was rejected by the big boss himself during the meeting. The big boss, he heard, hardly came to the office anymore and his son, the singer Jeremy, was the one who was managing the whole corporation.
