Chapter 933 He’s Not Someone You Can Afford to Mess With
Walter hurriedly described his company’s product at that. “Though it’s still just a prototype, its functions are still currently unavailable on the market. Plus, we can work on customization development at a later stage and also upgrade it continuously. It has a very high growth value.”
Nicholas, on the other hand, listened and made no comments. As much as Walter wanted to realize this collaboration, he knew being eager would lead him nowhere, and he didn’t want to annoy Nicholas either.
Thus, he sat quietly on his seat after briefing the product features and value. Nicholas was pretty pleased seeing that the man was astute.
Moments later, he closed the folder and announced plainly, “I’ll keep this with me, and I’ll have my team do an evaluation on this later. If it’s viable, I’ll invest in it.”
“Alright, I hope to hear from you soon then, President Sawyer.” Walter nodded non-stop, feeling elated.
If Nicholas was willing to have it evaluated, it meant that he had a fighting chance. If anything, he was confident in his product and was certain that Sawyer Group would approve of it.
Addison, too, congratulated Walter after the two left the antechamber. “Once your product passes the evaluation, Sawyer Group invests in it, and it goes into the market, your net worth will very likely rise by a few hundred million by the second half of the year! Don’t forget to give your old pal a slice of that cake by then, alright?”
“If this works out, I won’t forget about you,” Walter answered with a smile, his mood visibly cheerful.
At that, the two chatted for a little while more before going their separate ways.
Even after returning to his company, Walter was still wearing a smile on his face.
Much to his surprise, he rode the elevator to his office and found his daughter inside.
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the orchestra?” he asked.
“I was. I came after assigning their tasks,” Eunice answered her father as she slouched on the couch. But very quickly, she noticed something amiss about her father.
“Where were you, Daddy?” She sat up from the couch while asking, turning from lazy to sober in a snap.
He was looking so giddy that she couldn’t help thinking otherwise. “Mommy might not be home lately, but I am. Thus, I hope you won’t betray her.”
Walter flipped out upon hearing so, and he chided, “What are you talking about?! Do you think your father is like the men you hook up with?!”
“Where have you gone to, if not to look for hookups?” she reiterated.
“I went to Sawyer Group with Addison to ask for a collaboration. If things work out, the market value of our family business will rise several folds,” Walter said concisely, not hiding it from her.
Eunice was surprised that her father would decide to work with Nicholas on the project.
She had a good understanding of the project. If it was done right, the profits made would be immense, and for the long term at that. It was only delayed until now because they couldn’t find the right collaborator last year.
While being happy for her father, a notion also came to her.
Though she had constantly received setbacks from Nicholas, her desire to make him hers only grew.
She was determined to win his heart, and she was certain Tessa’s countenance would be one she’d enjoy very much.
At that, she smiled coyly. “Daddy, if things work out, let me deliver all the collaborative documents with Sawyer Group.”
“Why would you want to do that when you don’t know anything about this?!” Walter tucked away his smile upon hearing his daughter’s request.
Clearly, he didn’t want her to do so, for he was well aware of her plans. It was evident she still hadn’t given up on that man.
However, Eunice made nothing of it and still smiled. “I haven’t had any performances lately. Wouldn’t it be a good idea for me to come over and run some errands for you?”
“No!” Walter refused without a second thought and admonished her, “Don’t go around thinking I don’t know what you’re planning. I’ve already told you to stay away from married men, especially Nicholas Sawyer. He’s not someone you can afford to mess with!”
