StarNovelChapter 1056
To be honest, | was starting to have a headache right now. Fixing the bid proposal alone to make it presentable
was difficult enough, not to mention the fact that | was clueless about the general situation.
"Ms. Lane?"
A man's voice sounded in my ears. It sounded a little familiar.
| looked up and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man.
| froze a little, then asked curiously, "You are?"
The man chortled twice and said, "Great wits have short memories. Have you already forgotten me, Ms. Lane?
We met last night."
| suddenly remembered and hurriedly got up, saying," I'm really sorry, Mr. Isaac. | drank quite a bit of alcohol last
night and was feeling light-headed. | wasn't able t o recall your nin such a short time."
The man chuckled. "You have to remember my nfrom now on, Ms. Lane. Otherwise, it'll be awkward when
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwe meet next time."
| nodded with a smile. "Definitely."
Mr. Isaac sat on the sofa and looked at the documents i
n my hands, asking faintly, "Are you here for the bidding event too?"
I nodded. "You too, Mr. Isaac?"
Mr. Isaac smiled. "Of course."
Judging from Theo's reaction last night, it was clear that he was not going to make a decision so soon.
Hence, Mr. Isaac thought it was compulsory for him to participate in the bidding event today.
| sat on the sofa, shutting the file and laptop in my hand.
Mr. Isaac saw that and asked with a smile, "Where do you work at, Ms. Lane?"
| smiled slightly. "Fredericks Corporations."
"Fredericks Corporations, | see." Mr. Isaac narrowed his eyes. "Not bad. A young and talented lady."
Mr. Isaac did not seem to like Fredericks Corporations that much.
The waiter passed by and | asked for two glasses of fruit juice. | put one of them in front of Mr. Isaac and said
with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, companies like yours aren't allowed to bid, Mr. Isaac."
Mr. Isaac was a little stunned, then said with a smile," That's right. Of course, we can’t join the bidding. My wife
will be the bidder. She opened a company two years ago, so when | learned that Grant Corporation is having a
bidding event, | told her to cover and try her luck. She didn't want to cat first and thought that she
would never win the bid because her company is too small, but | persuaded her to just try it out. What if she
succeeds? Besides, I'll be here to keep her company, so there's nothing for her to be afraid of."
He sounded like a good husband who pampered his wife.
| smiled but did not say anything.
Seeing that it was getting late, | took a sip of juice and got up, saying, "The bidding event is about to begin, Mr.
Isaac. | have to go and get ready now."

Mr. Isaac got up as well and stood in front of me. "The bidding event will only officially begin at nine o'clock, Ms.
Lane. There's no hurry. It’s not every day that we get to meet each other. Why don't we talk smore?"
Even an idiot knew what he was up to. | said mildly, " I'm greatly honored that you're willing to chat with an
insignificant secretary like me. What is it that you would like to talk toabout, Mr. Isaac?”
Mr. Isaac grinned slightly and sat back on the sofa, gesturing forto sit down as well.
| maintained good manners and sat down on the sofa, looking at him with a smile.
"How much will your commission be when you get this project, Ms. Lane?" he asked, not intending to beat about
the bush.
| helplessly smiled. "Are you concerned about my livelihood, Mr. Isaac?"
Mr. Isaac froze a little, then started chortling. "You're humorous, Ms. Lane.”
| laughed along with him and did not say much.
When Mr. Isaac was done chortling, he said, "Miss Lane, why don't you delve into details? If our discussion goes «
well, then we might even becgood partners."
