Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Baron Lawrence’s Sharp Confrontation

“I’m not sure either, that’s just what President Lawrence instructed.” Seeing her confusion, the secretary feared she might refuse, so he hurriedly pushed her out of the pantry, “Ms. Clark, why don’t you rest in the President’s office for a bit? I can handle things here.”

Enna was pushed all the way back to the office, somewhat puzzled, “I…” Before she could finish speaking.

The secretary had already cut her off, “Ms. Clark, you may rest here for a while, and wait for President Lawrence to finish the meeting. I won’t bother you anymore; I’ll close the door for you.”

With that, not giving Enna any chance to react, he swiftly closed the office door.

After confining her in the office, he patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Ms. Clark hadn’t figured it out, but he had. President Lawrence suddenly forbade her from attending the meeting, and specifically instructed him to replace her in serving tea. It was obviously because he saw the Duke of the Habsden Family helping her carry coffee in just now and got jealous.

However, President Lawrence’s possessiveness was too strong. The Duke had only helped her carry a cup of coffee, and now President Lawrence wouldn’t let her attend the meeting…

While clicking his tongue in disapproval, the secretary hurried back to the pantry, carrying one cup after another into the conference room.

The rare visit of Edward Jackson from Yluria Country to Linton City this time was for Rupert Harris and, secondly, to discuss cooperation with Baron Lawrence.

Naturally, they wouldn’t be discussing cooperation with Stellar Corporation, but rather the cooperation between the two top wealthy families. From sea development to transportation, it was a nearly hundred-million-dollar cooperation.

Baron Lawrence had always been known for his calmness in the business world, but today, he unexpectedly walked in with a strong and dominant aura from the beginning of the conference, gaining the upper hand first.

Originally, both families had an unspoken agreement on approximate profit points, but at the beginning of the conference, he directly raised the profit point by five percent.

For a hundred-million-dollar cooperation, even a 0.5% profit margin, let alone 5%, would not be a small amount of money.

The sudden increase in the 5% profit point from his side stunned not only the think tank brought by the Habsden Family but also the people of the Lawrence Corporation.

No one knew why he had suddenly pulled this stunt.

Only Edward Jackson maintained his composure in the entire conference room. He propped his hands under his chin, his deep eyes looking at the man with the overbearing and aggressive air, “This is not consistent with the consensus I reached with the Old Lord. If I may be blunt, President Lawrence, do you think there’s something that can convince me to agree to give up that five percent profit margin?”

Baron Lawrence’s hawk-like eyes glanced at the coffee cup in front of him. Thinking of the scene where he and Enna had walked in with their coffees earlier, his icy gaze rapidly frosted over, “Because I have the ability to increase the total profit of that transportation route by 30%.”

Edward raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, “President Lawrence, you should be well aware of what you’re saying right now?”

A hundred million in profit was his estimate for this cooperation.

If it increased by 30%, no doubt it would be worth giving up that five percent share.

“I, Baron Lawrence, never speak without confidence.” Assertive and domineering!

Edward squinted, staring at him for a few seconds before suddenly letting go, “Hayes, draft the contract.”

“Sir?!” The people of the Habsden family were all taken aback.

Why did the Duke give up that five percent share so easily? At least he should bargain or try to add the guarantee from Young Master Lawrence just now into the contract.
