Chapter 329 - Some time away (3) (1/2)
To her surprise Oliver didn't have any intention to tag him along as he saw the resistance in Rachel's eyes so he said ”I can't tolerate you for the whole day as we will be spending time now I would prefer to spend my evening with Rachel.”
A small smile curved on Rachel's lips for just a short while so that no one would notice it. She gave a thankful glance to Oliver and when he noticed it he smiled.
Liam was not happy so he said ”But I wished it spend some time with the beauty.”
Rachel felt like punching him in the face but she suppressed her emotions and with a smile she said ”I won't have a lot of free time today anyways, maybe we could get together some other day.”
Liam was a little sad but he agree not forcing her ”Sounds good but you can't ditch me on this.”
Rachel put on a smile ”Don't worry I won't.”
Liam smiled ”It's settled then we will go out this weekend.”
Rachel agreed for now with the thought that she would ask him to help her look for apartments and when they will be busy, she would not have to put up with his nonsense. Liam dropped her at the hotel, she immediately ran to her room to freshen up and change her clothes. After she was done she went to the room, her meeting was scheduled in and waited for the other party to arrive. As she was in early, she ordered a drink for herself while waited for the other person. He was the most popular and a leading businessman in this country, if she had to establish her business here she would have to start working with him. As he was not the only one, she had decided to get in contact with the others to if this didn't work well. She had come prepared after researching about these people and how to deal with them. She opened her phone and began to do some work and while she was busy sipping on her drink along with working she did not notice when a man entered the room.
It was when he sat in front of her that she lifted her head to look at him and exclaimed ”Ah! Mr. Bain, I am sorry I didn't notice you enter.”
As she said that, she offered her hand to him, he took it with a smile and shaking it he said ”Please call me Aubin.”
She smiled and soon they sat opposite each other. Aubin called the waiter an placed the order for the table after asking Rachel. As they were inside a room and there was no one to disturb them, Rachel felt quiet relaxed. On the contrary Aubin who had been labeled at cold and aloof businessman just like her, this was the first time he had spoken so gently to someone. It was as if Rachel had the power to entice anyone who saw her although people who saw her on TV had a yearning to meet her but the once who did were overpowered by desire and never wished to part with her. He was the person who made the deals that were only profitable to his company but today when he entered the room and saw the person in front of her, he wished to make the deal today even if it was a loss.
He didn't want to be here in first place thinking how a woman was fit for business but when he saw the progress she had made in her own country, he could not resist. At first he had thought of giving her a hard time but seeing her he gave up that thought. Rachel knew about his cold personality and she knew well how to handle him as he was similar to her. It was just that a person behaved in such a way because they had trust issues and she was well aware of that so she just had to win his trust.
He smiled at her and asked ”So Miss Cullen, I would like to know why you wished to have a meeting with me.”
Rachel smiled ”You can call me Rachel and about this meeting, I have decided to expand my business and this was the first place I thought of. You must have heard about our company and as it is on the top in our country, I had to get in touch with the best one in this country so I came to you.”
She handed him a file ”This is everything that you need to know about our company and you too will profit if we work together. I have prepared a contract that states how both the companies profit from each other and if you like it, you can sign it.”
Her to the point and blunt words impressed him and he suppressed the smile he was holding. She indeed had the same personality like him and it was way too attractive on her.
He looked at the papers and it didn't take him much time to sign it, he then shook her hand ”Let's work together happily in future.”
She smiled and could not help but say ”I am indeed surprised how easily this was done. I had prepared a lot more points to convince you. You are not as difficult to deal with as the rumors say.”
He smiled back at her ”When you give me something good and I have nothing to loose but gain then how can I say no. This is my first time having sealed a deal in just few minutes because you make all the good points and I have to appreciate you are quite sharp and intelligent businesswoman. It will be really easy to seal your deals in future too.”
She smiled ”It means a lot coming from a person like you who had been rejected so many good things.”
He had initially decided to ask a few questions if required and ask her to make a few changes but this was the first time someone had convinced him with just a few words. He was completely impressed by her and the his mind just told him one thing 'A true combination of beauty and brains.'
