Chapter 844 Having an Ax to Grind


    Seeing how the man put down the documents, Wanda got somewhat impatient. She asked, “What do you think? Would you agree to the coboration?”


    Nichs looked her straight in the eye. “I can coborate with you, but I have two conditions.”


    Wanda was delighted. “Tell me about your conditions.”


    Nichs made his demands right away without the slightest hesitation. “I hope you’ll provide a moreplete execution n for these projects. Also, I hope that the Sawyer Group can hold the leading position in our coboration.”


    At first, he thought Wanda would hesitate for a moment. After all, his second condition was somewhat harsh. This was because it meant that if any disagreement were to ur during their coboration, Party B would have to give priority to Party A’s demands—a condition that ordinarypanies wouldn’t agree to.


    To his surprise, Wanda agreed to it without thinking. “I have no problem with it. It’ll save me a lot of trouble if the Sawyer Group takes the leading position.”


    Nichs narrowed his eyes. “Miss Muller, aren’t you gonna think about it again?”


    “No, it’s not necessary. I have faith in you and the Sawyer Group,” Wanda replied, expressing her wholehearted confidence in him. Of course, she had an ax to grind. By letting the Sawyer Group take the leading position in the project, she’d do thepany a special favor. This would also cause herpany to be backed by the Sawyer Group, which was better for herpany’s future growth.


    The two then talked about the details of their coboration, during which time Wanda jotted down the main points.


    A whileter, Edward came to report on his work; there was a meeting that Nichs had to preside at.


    Being a sensible person, Wanda took her leave, saying, “That’s all for today. I’lle again tomorrow to discuss the follow-up details with you.”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    For the next two days, Nichs busied himself with this matter, which caused him to spend significantly less time talking to Tessa over the phone.


    Knowing that he was busy, Tessa was very understanding, but she was worried about his health. After all, this guy would always forget to eat and sleep whenever he got busy. Seeing that he seemed to have lost some weight over the past few days, she became even more worried.


    On this day, she pondered for a moment after ending her phone conversation with Nichs. Then, she called Edward, saying, “Mr. Jackson, I have a favor to ask of you.”


    Edward found it strange, but he agreed, saying, “Please tell me about it, Miss Tessa.”


    “I hope you can help me watch Nichs’ diet and remind him to eat regr meals these days.”


    “I got it. I’ll remind President Sawyer on time,” Edward promised with a nod. Inwardly, he was somewhat envious of Nichs for having Tessa to care about him. “Seems like I should get myself a girlfriend to care about me,” he mumbled to himself before burying himself in his work soon afterward.


    It was noon. Inside the president’s office, Wanda was discussing with Nichs while holding the newly revised proposal. Seeing the good-looking man beside her, she couldn’t help but give an inward sigh. Men are even more charming and handsome at work indeed, she thought. In particr, she had been able to spend several hours with Nichs every day over the past few days, which made her feel incredibly sweet. Although they only talked about work when they were together, they’d never been alone like this before. Moreover, she believed that if this went on, she’d definitely be able to rece Tessa and stay by his side.


    Just when she was imagining her future with Nichs, Edward knocked on the door and came in with a boxed lunch in his hand.


    At the sight of the scene, Nichs asked, “What’s the matter?”


    “Miss Tessa asked me to urge you to eat on time,” Edward replied honestly without hiding anything.


    When Nichs heard this, his lips curled into a gentle smile.


    On the other hand, Wanda’s expression froze somewhat. Why is Tessa still sticking around like a ghost now that she’s left? She gnashed her teeth inwardly, but her face gave nothing away. She asked with a smile, “Did you prepare my lunch then, Mr. Jackson?”


    “I’m sorry, Miss Muller, but I didn’t know you’d stay, so I only prepared lunch for President Sawyer.”


    “It’s okay. I’ll order takeoutter.”
