Chapter 1513


    "Well, this just got interesting, didn''t it? How many design proposals does Donovan''s team have on


    the table this time? Weren''t we supposed to be the buyers?" ric chuckled, teasing as he wheeled


    Lysander over to the lounge table.

    Donovan quickly stood up, overly eager to please as he poured coffee for Lysander, "Mr. Sinir, I


    indeed scheduled a meeting with yourpany''s David to discuss purchasing a design proposal.


    Mr. Ethan also messaged mest night expressing interest in acquiring ourtest designs. I thought


    it was just Daviding, so I arranged for both, thinking of going with whoever made the more


    reasonable offer. I didn''t expect you toe as well..."


    Donovan didn''t hide his nervousness, his hands trembling as he poured the coffee.


    Initially, he thought David was just a minor yer, who was unlikely to offer a high price for a jewelry


    design proposal as a buyer.


    Since David was the first to arrange a meeting, he agreed to discuss it, feeling it would be rude to


    cancel. His n was to meet both clients simultaneously, to see whether the Crawley Group or


    David would make a better offer, giving him options.


    But the ''minor yer'' he had thought brought with him a major figure Donovan dared not offend.


    Donovan was so terrified. He was terrified of upsetting Lysander.


    Thssa and Hertha exchanged surprised nces. Donovan had the audacity to invite two clients


    topare prices simultaneously. And they were Starhaven''s leading figures!


    Lysander, Ethan, and ric were all influential figures in Starhaven, not to be trifled with.


    Yet, Donovan had managed to bring them all together!


    Thssa and Hertha wisely remained silent, not wanting to be implicated.


    Lysander lifted his gaze slightly to look at Donovan, who was pouring coffee, noticing his trembling


    hands and jumpy demeanor.


    Lysander''s deep voice sounded, "Your idea fits for a businessman. The world of business does


    require bold attempts."


    Donovan''s grip on the coffee pot paused, realizing Lysander wasn''t upset about him inviting David


    and Ethan at the same time. Overjoyed and grateful, he bowed slightly, "Yes, yes, thank you, Mr.


    Sinir, for your understanding..."


    Ethan, fiddling with his coffee cup, said, "Donovan, you''ve put the Crawley Group in quite the spot.


    How can the Crawley Grouppete with the Sinir Group financially? The oue is clear


    when youpare us with the Sinir Group, isn''t it?"


    "Wealthy as the Sinir Group may be, it will only purchase products of equivalent value. No need


    to be pessimistic, Mr. Ethan." Lysander said.


    His mysterious gaze briefly met Thssa''s across the room. When they happened to lock their


    eyes, Thssa felt a jolt, her brows furrowing slightly. She sensed a hidden message in his words.


    What did he mean by only purchasing products of equivalent value? Was he implying that the


    jewelry designs she and Hertha had crafted weren''t worthy of The Sinir Group''s purchase?


    Thssa was sure that Lysander had reviewed the documents and design sketches she and Hertha


    had left during their business discussion with Reginald and Callum.


    Was Lysander subtly dismissing her and Hertha''s designs?


    "Exactly, Mr. Ethan, no need for gloom. Hiring me as your project director was the best decision


    you''ve made. I assure you, you won''t leave empty-handed," ric said with a sly grin while gently


    patting Ethan on the shoulder.
