The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 574 State Your Terms

The people who had previously crowded and pressured her finally quieted down for a moment.

At that moment, a voice chimed in, “Ms. Thorne does have a point. The profits we can secure are the most tangible. Let’s focus on preparing for the competitive tendering first.”

Lysander glanced at the speaker and recognized him immediately.

They were one of the four individuals Josiah had previously invited for a private meeting.

Another person chimed in, “Indeed; the competive tendering process is the main priority right now. Let’s focus on the proposal first. Ms. Thorne, I’ll send the information for the competitive tendering to your email shortly. Please take a look at it first.”

“All right; thank you. Let’s call it a day then. I’ve taken into account all the suggestions everyone made today. I’ll strive to keep up with you all in the future. Meeting adjourned,” Lysander said.

Rowan quickly called out to her and said, “Wait! You haven’t specified when you will give us an answer, Ms. Thorne. Telling us you will give us one as soon as possible simply won’t cut it. You need to provide us with a specific deadline.”

After giving it some thought, Lysander said, “The day after tomorrow, then.”

“Do you realize how many companies are vying for this contract, Ms. Thorne? If the response you provide the day after tomorrow turns out to be a useless suggestion, we’ll all have to start from scratch again.”

“When do you think would be a suitable time, then, Mr. Cobb?”

“First thing tomorrow morning. We’ll meet here in this conference room. I hope that you will provide us with an explanation, Ms. Thorne. Otherwise, it won’t just be Mr. Castillo, but most of the executives might have to consider finding another job!” Rowan said.

That evening, she hurried home, quickly ate her dinner, and then immediately retreated into the study.

The sudden ring of the doorbell shattered the silence within the house.

Lysander opened the door and upon lifting her head, she saw Josiah standing there, his face devoid of any expression.
