“Sorry, I’m not interested.”


    Marco frowned.

    “The sry Bryant Group will pay you will be more than ten times the amount you get here.”


    Tonio looked straight at him this time, but his eyes had a look of indifference in them. “I know you don’t


    lack money, but I don’t want it. Please leave if you’ve finished your meal. Don’t insult me with your


    stinky money.”


    Marco’s face darkened in anger and Loraine couldn’t help Laughing.


    “What are youughing at?” Marco demanded. The fact that she wasughing at him instead of


    speaking up for him made him feel disappointed and depressed.


    Loraine tried to hold back her Laughter and said jokingly, “It seems you only know how to use money to


    win people’s heart.”


    “So you think you can do better?” Marco scoffed.


    Without hesitation, Loraine turned to Tonio and said earnestly, “Mr.


    ninjanovel


    Pavani, I’m Loraine Torres of Universe Group. We are working together with Bryant Group to develop a


    new CBD in Vagow that will have a series ofmercial buildings, shopping malls, entertainment


    facilities and so on. The first thing we want to do is to build a top-notch catering area. After tasting your


    marvelous dishes, Marco and I decided to invite you to join us.”


    Seeing how friendly she was, Tonio dropped his guard and said, “I don’t want to embarrass you by


    being boastful, but frankly, I’ve worked in several high-end restaurants before and I’m already tired of


    managing big restaurants. The brand premium is too much, which sometimes leads to overlooking


    quality food and good taste. So, I want to focus on cooking rather than making a lot of money.”


    “You are quite right! I can’t agree more.” Loraine nodded in concurrence, with a bright smile.


    “But Mr. Pavani, I’m telling you now that I want to have the best restaurant, not the most shy or


    expensive one.”


    Tonio was obviously moved by this statement, and his expression softened a lot.


    “Mr. Pavani, if you join us, more and more people will taste your food and your style will be


    widespread,” Loraine added.


    Feeling her sincerity, Tonio finally made up his mind and stretched out his hand.


    “Well, if you promise to keep your word, I’ll ept your invitation.”


    Loraine shook hands with him happily and they both agreed on the day and time to formally discuss the


    partnership.


    After Tonio left, Marco frowned in confusion. “I offered him the best conditions. Why did he refuse me


    and end up agreeing with you?”


    Wasn’t it a big deal for the CEO of Bryant Group to personally invite a chef?


    Loraine nced at him and sneered, “You always act as if you’re a dictator. You order people to do


    what you want. You’re Lucky he didn’t kick you out. Look, people are notmodities. They need


    emotionalmunication.”


    Marco kept quiet and began to think back.


    He regarded his marriage to Loraine as a deal, right?
