Chapter 231 Another Allergic Reaction
“Mr. Hadley, it’s been a while. Let’s have a drink first.”
Aldrich had collaborated with the Hadley family previously. Their meeting this round was because their contract had expired.
For the five years that the two had collaborated, they had a considerably fruitful collaboration since their profits had been increasing.
The Anderson family was in the business of dried fruit exportation and subsequently expanded to exporting various goods. They mainly relied on the Hadley family’s ships for their exportations.
Nathaniel lifted his wine glass and took a sip. His unfathomable eyes darkened.
Not bothering with superfluous words, he went straight to the main point. “I heard you wanted to extend the contract date, Mr. Anderson. I want a zero–point–five percent increase in profit.”
Even though a zero–point–five percent increment sounded little, it would be a difference of tens of millions for large–scale projects.
Hugging a woman with his right hand and holding onto a wine glass with his left, Aldrich laughed. “That’s not a big issue. We have been working for so long. I know you’re a fair man, Mr. Hadley.”
The Anderson family still had to depend on Hadley Corporation to earn money, so naturally, he did not want their relationship to turn sour.
Moreover, the increment was considered reasonable.
Aldrich nudged the woman in his embrace. “Are you not going over to thank Mr. Hadley?”
The woman stood up. She had a tall and slender figure and a pretty face. Her makeup was so thick she looked like a saucy vamp as she walked toward Nathaniel.
Aldrich had especially brought her along to offer her to Nathaniel.
She did not know Nathaniel was so handsome prior to seeing him. One glance was enough to make her heart thump wildly.
Before she could get anywhere near Nathaniel, she was stopped by Sebastian. “Mr. Hadley isn’t interested. Please step back.”
Mr. Hadley can’t touch other women. He’ll be in danger. Besides, this woman isn’t Mr. Hadley’s type at all.
