Xavier thought, ‘Ms. Bonita’s thoughts are unreadable, but I’ll strive for an opportunity to work with her, even if it’s only a one percent chance of success.’
Bonnie leaned into her office chair and casually replied, “You’re mistaken. I don’t intend to cooperate with the Knights this time.”
Her answer piqued Xavier’s interest. “You’re not choosing the Knights?”
“That’s right.”
Xavier was shocked as he asked, “Would you mind telling me which company you intend to cooperate with, then?”
Bonnie replied, “Tang Fusion Studios.”
Xavier was surprised and enlightened when he heard that. Ultimately, his emotions turned into envy as he said, “So, you’re planning to cooperate with Mr. Hamish.”
“That is correct.”
“Of course, your relationship with Mr. Hamish is excellent. It even makes others jealous. It seems I can only watch from the sidelines again this time,” Xavier sounded quite regretful.
Bonnie shrugged. Her choice to cooperate with Tang Fusion Studios was not because of her relationship with Hamish but because the company belonged to her. Since she had given the last cooperation to the Knights, she naturally wanted to give her company a chance.
Bonnie thought she should benefit herself and her people this time instead of giving it to others.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. Still, I hope you’re not too sad, Xavier. I heard your company recently secured a tourism development project. If it goes well, it’ll elevate your company. You should focus on tha and stop worrying about cooperating with me.”
“Haha, I guess so,” Xavier chuckled, “Nothing can escape your attention, Ms. Bonnie. Indeed, I secured a tourism development project. I hoped you could bring me good luck, but that’s not happening.” “Xavier, you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. That tourism development is good enough.” Bonnie understood Xavier’s thoughts and feelings as a businessperson. However, she had to remind him not to be greedy.
“You’re right, Ms. Bonita. I was too impatient.” Xavier sounded humbled when talking to Bonnie.
Even before calling her, he knew the likelihood of securing this cooperation was slim. Although their conversation confirmed his suspicions, he did not feel too disappointed.
Bonnie checked her watch and said, “All right, it’s getting late. I should head to the lab now.”
“You got it, Ms. Bonita. I won’t keep you any longer.” After hanging up the phone and putting it aside, Xavier muttered, “Hamish is so lucky. I wonder how he got acquainted with Ms. Bonita. I would’ve gotten this cooperation if I had met her earlier. What a pity.”
Immediately after, someone knocked on his door.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Come in.”
Xavier’s assistant entered and said, “Sir, Mr. Shane Fernandez from Gemedia Group is waiting for you in the conference room. He says there’s something important he needs to discuss with you.”
