Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 890 Couldn’t Come to an Agreement

Sensing that things were becoming a little tense, Elise cut in sharply. “Here in Cittadel, we have a saying that goes, every mile starts with a single step. The more unlikely and hopeless something seems, the more we need people to bear the responsibility of taking up the challenge. If everyone avoids doing it because it seems unreachable, then the citizens will be filled with resentment. How will there be peace in the country?”

Mack’s eyes flickered. He didn’t respond right away, but he seemed to be considering the validity of Elise’s statement. After a brief pause, a smile returned to his face as if nothing had happened. Flattery rolled off his tongue with great ease. “I’m moved by how patriotic the two of you are. You know, I often show the most admiration for people who have a heart for society.

How about this? I will only take 40% of the profits. The two of you can use the remaining 10% on my behalf for charity. What do you think?”

“That works,” Alexander started with a smile, but his words took a vastly different turn before Mack could start celebrating. “If Smith Co. takes charge of the brand, I will personally decide to give you 10% of the profits so that you can report to those back home.”

Mack’s smile vanished as his eyes filled with hostility once more. “10%?! You must be kidding, Mr. Griffith!”

“You’re the one who started the joke,” Alexander replied, unphased.

Mack straightened up as he fumed with a threatening air. “I had to overcome all sorts of objections before most of the decision-makers back at Yveltalia were willing to relinquish control of the brand. Is this how you repay me, Mr. Griffith? 10%? How am I supposed to go back with such a measly amount of money?! How outrageous!”

Slam!

He smashed his hand on the table, and the servers standing further back all jumped in alarm.

They heard that those in the upper class cared a lot about their conduct in public, so they never expected such a bad-tempered customer today. All at once, they started reminding themselves to be even more cautious when serving him.

this is a very profitable venture. Why would you be willing to hand over the brand to someone else if Yveltalia could handle the brand themselves, Mr. Thompson? You only chose to do so because you’re aware there aren’t any
