Chapter 100


    “Mr Carnes, you can rest assured I’ve got the contract ready. As long as you swing by, we can kick off


    our partnership.”


    Silver was pumped EliteEdge Consortium had been a big deal in the country for a while Most


    renovation teams had to source their materials from them. If he could strike a deal with EliteEdge


    Consortium at a low price, it would be a serious cash cow for him.


    “Alright, Mr. Brown, I’ll be there in half an hour.”


    Silver hung up, grinning from ear to ear He told his assistant to start prepping and grabbed his coat. He


    reached the building’s entrance, and just as the assistant parked the car in front of him, he heard


    someone calling him from behind


    “Mr Carnes


    Silver froze, his smile fading instantly. He turned to see Maja.


    Maja maintained her cold demeanor, giving a small nod. “You didn’t answer your phone, so I had to


    wait here. Is our previous contract still valid?”


    Silver wore an awkward expression ‘Penny, you’re here. I didn’t get any notice from the reception.


    Maja knew he was ying the fool But that was how the adult world worked. Everyone was ying a


    part.


    That’s my bad, Mr. Carnes. I’ve recentlynded a new project and wanted to discuss it with you ASAP.


    It’s a project fromn, and I’m sure our coboration will be mutually beneficial.” Penny, I’ve got a


    business trip and really don’t have time to look at your proposal. Let’s talk when I get back.”


    It was clearly a brush–off. Silver had probably found a new partner but hadn’t signed the contract yet,


    so he wanted her to wait.


    Maja got the hint.


    Tve always worked with you since I started. I thought we were tight. If you’ve found a better partner,

    please let me know directly so that I can make arrangements in advance. After all, there is also


    pressure from Mr. Raymond’s side to finalize the deal.”


    Silver was indeed interested inn’s project. But in reality, even if he provided the renovation team, the


    main beneficiary would still be the designer. The renovationpany was not directly involved and can


    at most be credited for executing the design, well.


    Furthermore, all of Maja’s previous clients praised her for being hands–on and going to the


    construction site herself. They werepletely overshadowed by the designer and didnt got much


    from it.


    However, a partnership with EliteEdge Consortium was a different story. They were willing to sell him


    renovation materials at cost price, enabling them to offer lower prices to attract customers. This would


    surely increase their regr orders since not everyone has deep pockets.


    Silver still wore a smile.


    “Penny, really gotta hit the road. We can talk when I get back.”


    With that, he got into the car.


    Maja, left outside, had anticipated this. From the moment she was stopped from going upstairs, she


    guessed Silver had found a new partner.


    But what she didn’t get was why he would refuse her just because he’s working with someone else.


    Doingn’s renovation would benefit thepany, wouldn’t it? What kind of benefits did thepetitor


    offer?


    She had no time to ponder as she was busy contacting other renovationpanies, only to be


    rejected. One had agreed but backed out when they heard her name. Clearly, someone was targeting


    her.


    Maja immediately thought of Samuel. With Daniel out of the picture, Samuel was now the CEO of


    EliteEdge Consortium.


    EliteEdge Consortium was the biggest renovation materialpany in the country. Otherwise, Daniel


    wouldn’t have had such a close partnership with the school. If Samuel was targeting her, most well–


    known renovation teams would be reluctant to work with her.


    This way,n’s project would definitely be dyed.


    Just then, Samuel called.


    “Maja, seems like you’re having a hard time. Need my help?”


    “Mr. Brown, your call couldn’t be more timely. I’m starting to think you nned all this.”


    Samuel chuckled, confidence gleaming in his eyes.


    “Indeed, it was my doing. But Maja, if you would join me for a meal, I could introduce you to a better


    construction team. Don’t worry, you can record the whole thing. If I do anything inappropriate, you can


    call the cops, just likest time.”


    Maja was an interesting woman. She was strong and knew how to fight back. She was talented and


    beautiful, which piqued his interest. Otherwise, he wouldn’t go to such lengths.
