Chapter 146 Disappointed Samuel

“Women will never tolerate a third person in a relationship, and Ms, Lewis is no exception.”

However, that was in the past. The Grace who had had eyes only for Benjamin, indeed couldn’t tolerate such things. But now, everything seemed to have changed.

Benjamin took a deep breath, and all his despair disappeared in an instant. It was as though the somewhat dejected Benjamin from just now had just been an illusion.

“Let’s go, Larry.” With that, Benjamin walked away.

Right after Grace returned to her office in Amirate, an unexpected guest arrived.

Samuel had received first–hand information that the collaboration between Amirate and Nexa Group had soured.

Delighted, he couldn’t resist dropping by Grace’s office to watch the fun.

“Ms. Lewis! It’s been a few days, and you seem to be quite haggard. It looks like you’ve been quite worried about work!” He sounded extremely gleeful.

Without raising her head, Grace said, “It seems like you’ve got a lot of free time, Director Walker, to be wandering around my office.”

Half–smiling, Samuel walked up to her desk and pulled out a chair to sit down.

“Young lady, you can’t be too hasty. This performance can’t be achieved in just a day or two. But it’s quite a pity that you lost the chance to collaborate with Nexa Group.”

Grace’s actions halted at his words.

After she closed the file in hand, she raised her head and met his gaze confidently. “You’re quite well–informed, Director Walker. But you seem to be celebrating a bit too early.”

Suddenly, Samuel burst into laughter.

“You’re right, Ms. Lewis. It’s still a long way from our one–year deadline. But achieving 30% of the company’s performance isn’t that simple, and setbacks are inevitable. I just came to remind you out of concern for you and the company.”

His words dripped with arrogance. Samuel stood up and straightened his suit jacket.

“Young people should gain more experience. Live and learn, right? After this incident, I believe you’ll make progress, which would benefit Amirate.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Following that, Luke walked in. He glanced at Samuel before telling Grace, “Ms. Lewis, Mr. Leroy from Nexa Group sent a new contract. To make amends, they’re offering Amirate a 5% profit concession.”

Hearing that, Samuel’s smiling face instantly turned sour.

This twist had taken him completely by surprise.

Based on the information he had received, Nexa Group had refused to collaborate with Amirate. He couldn’t understand why they were now willing to offer a 5% profit concession.

What was going on?

On the contrary, Grace couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t expected Alvin to be so savvy. He truly was a real expert in the business field.

Raising her brow, she looked at Samuel and said casually, “I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, Director Walker. I’ve secured the collaboration with Nexa.”

Samuel was irritated, but he didn’t want to lose his temper in front of Grace. So he ground his teeth and forced a smile. “You’ve done quite well, Ms. Lewis. You’ve earned my respect!”

Having said that, he stormed out of the office.

As Grace watched his angry departure, she couldn’t help but suppress a laugh. She then looked at Luke and asked, “Is this really Nexa Group’s decision?”
