It'll Come Naturally

"Do we look like dumb cattle in a butcher's shop waiting for you to slaughter?" Belinda wasn't deterred. She wasn't as experienced as Edward was, but she had studied Commercial Management for a good number of years, she knew how to handle this kind of a situation.

Edward broke into laughter when he heard the metaphor. She was indeed a tough woman!

"So what would you suggest? What's your counter-offer?" Edward knew the market price. He had done his homework before seeing her. Compared to current market price, his price was a bit higher. As long as there was a profit margin, he could give the partner a proper cut.

"Cut down your price by two percent, or at least one. Then, we have a deal." Belinda was a smart woman. She knew that the way forward is through diplomacy and negotiation. So she didn't ask too much or say anything definitive, fearing they might not reach an agreement if she did.

"You're a good negotiator, Miss Shangguan. You're really sincere, it would be stupid for me not to do business with you. So, we have a deal. It's a great experience negotiating with a beauty like you. I can smell the sweetness in the air now." Edward said with a grin on his face.

Belinda rolled her eyes. What a playboy! He never forgot to show his blatant allure whenever he spoke.

"Okay, I'll have my secretary prepare a new agreement soon. Happy partnership, Mr. Mu!" Belinda Shangguan stretched out her delicate hand and gently touched his, and smiled back.

"Well, as long as you no longer ask me out for tea, I think we'll be very happy." Edward said. At that moment, he remembered Daisy. He suddenly missed her. What was she doing? Was she out or was she home?

"As long as your company doesn't cause any trouble. I'm very busy. I don't have much time to go out for tea." With that, Belinda picked up the papers on the table, and strode off without even a word of goodbye. "Damn it, who does he think he is? As if all the women in the world were interested in him!" she thought. She had never met a man as arrogant as him.

He was used to her forthright manner. He checked his
