Chapter 589


    The attendees were taken aback by Hesper''s dominance throughout the meeting, leaving Rickard at a


    disadvantage. It seemed they had greatly underestimated her.


    "Mr. Duval, if we continue like this, we''ll get nowhere," Hesper interjected, halting the profit negotiation


    with Rickard. She proposed a figure. "This figure is most eptable to both parties after my


    calctions. I believe yourpany has also estimated beforehand. If you disagree, you can suggest


    a different figure."


    The rest of the people fell silent. They had nned the data previously and determined the optimal


    solution. They just didn''t anticipate Hesper to be so precise; it matched their previous calction


    exactly.


    "You seem prepared, Ms. Lane," Rickard remarked.


    In response, Hesper smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Youid so many traps for me, so it''s only


    reasonable for me to be well-prepared."


    "Traps?"


    Hesper tilted her head and said, "Quit pretending, Mr. Duval. There are numerous employees present.


    If I expose them all, this meeting may not end well for you."


    Rickard frowned, ncing at Benji, who quickly looked away. Pinching his nose, Rickard seemed to


    realize why Hesper was so angry when she visited this time. He assumed Hesper''s request for


    cooperation was a coincidence, but now he recognized it was Benji''s n all along.


    Observing Benji and Rickard, Hesper also realized that she may have misunderstood Rickard.


    However, birds of a feather flock together. If Rickard did not share those thoughts, Benji wouldn''t have


    had the audacity to make the call.


    As they exchanged nces in silence, the other staff watched apprehensively.


    "Okay. Let''s do what you said," Rickard said, finally making a decision.


    The people in the meeting room breathed a sigh of relief. Once the price was established, several small

    teams coborated and the contract was swiftlypleted.


    After carefully reviewing the contract, Hesper signed it without any hesitation.


    "I hope our coboration will be pleasant," she said.


    "Same here," replied Rickard, extending his hand for a handshake.


    Hesper shook it politely and added, "I have some pending tasks at the office, so I''ll take my leave. I


    trust that you''ll deliver the machines on time, Mr. Duval. Thank you."


    Without wasting any time, Hesper pushed open the meeting room''s door, only toe across Sophia.


    She didn''t know whether Sophia had stayed there since leaving or had just coincidentallye by.


    Raising an eyebrow, Hesper was about to say something, but Sophia simply lowered her head and


    walked away.


    "Will you be driving back, Ms. Lane?" Benji asked as he caught up with her.


    Hesper snapped out of her thoughts and replied, "Renee wille to pick me up."


    When Benji heard Renee''s name, he was momentarily taken aback. Clearing his throat, he awkwardly


    said, "Then please take care on the road, Ms. Lane."


    "Are you telling me to be careful on the road or telling Renee to be careful on the road?" Hesper


    casually asked.


    Benji widened his eyes in panic and stuttered, "H-How did you know? I… I haven''t confessed yet."
