Love At The Right Price

Chapter 48

After getting into the car, Frank looked at Tamara and suddenly asked, “Since the collaboration between Colt Enterprise and Hardy Group has fallen through, would you consider collaborating with Cloud Industries instead? In terms of qualification and publicity, I believe that we are not inferior to any other company.”

“Do I discuss this with you?” Tamara turned to look at Frank.

Upon seeing that, he nodded. “If I manage to contribute to this, I believe that it will be of great help for my promotion.”

“Are you able to make a decision?”

“I’m close with Harold, so I suppose that I’m able to have at least this amount of authorization.”

A thoughtful look flashed across Tamara’s face when she heard his reply.

Because of personal reasons, she had never planned to work with the Hardy Group since the very beginning and in terms of business, Cloud Industries was certainly a much better bet.

Cloud Industries was a good choice no matter for personal or business reasons. Coupled with the fact that Frank’s career was on the rise, which would stop him from loitering around all day doing nothing and becoming a bad influence to Tim, working with Cloud Industries was indeed a better choice.

And so, Tamara agreed graciously. “Sure. We can meet up some time to talk about this. Just tell me the date and time. However, in exchange, you have to attend a charity banquet with me.” She pretended to casually suggest after some thought.

Truth was, Lucy had specifically requested for Tamara to attend the charity banquet before the latter headed out that day.

After all, it was no secret that the Colt Enterprise had had a change in management. The fact that Tamara had made a scene in Evan’s office would soon spread out, and she wondered how Evan and the others would slander her.

Thus, her first appearance in the public’s eye at this point in time was especially important, and the charity banquet was just the right event for that purpose. She could even gain a good reputation by attending it.

Nevertheless, Tamara didn’t want to attend the banquet alone, so she naturally thought of Frank.

“No problem!” Frank unhesitatingly agreed.

If his memory served him right, the charity banquet would be held that night. Normally, his assistant would arrange someone to attend this sort of event on his behalf. However, it seemed like the company had to get someone else to attend the banquet to prevent anyone from recognizing his identity. It would be a hassle if that were to happen.

“Let’s arrange a meetup at 2.00 PM in my office in three days’ time to talk about the collaboration. Is that alright?”

“Sure.” Frank nodded in response.

The two of them then talked a bit to decide on the details.

“Mommy, can you two talk about work some other time? It’s a rare opportunity for our family to all sit together, so can we talk about something else that will strengthen our bond?” Tim pouted in displeasure.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Tamara turned to her and narrowed her eyes menacingly. “Hmm-what do you want to talk about, then?”

“Nothing.” Tim shuddered and he shook his head firmly.

That night, Frank and Tim, who were dressed in suits, sat in their positions and stared eagerly up the stairs.

“Thank you for your patience.” Following her crisp voice, Tamara, who was dressed in a white evening gown, slowly walked down the stairs.

Her long black hair cascaded over her fair shoulders and at the end of her slender legs were a pair of crimson heels that made a clear tapping sound when she walked.

“How do I look?” Looking at the tall and tiny figures, she lifted her skirt and spun in a circle.

“Mommy, you look breathtaking!” Tim immediately praised.

Frank stared at her for a while before he uttered, “I kind of regret agreeing to attend the banquet with

you.”
