Chapter 120; A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, CAROL.
- KILLIAN -
“While I am quite interested in your offer, the percentage you demand to have is such an off mark for this deal. I am afraid I won’t be able to come to terms with that. It needs to be changed.” I say, swirling in my seat.
If there’s one thing I love aside from killing, it’s doing business and making good profit. Having money is therapeutic. A smirk forms on my face as I lean my fingers up to play with my hair. It’s a good thing I have a load of it.
It’s even better when there’s someone to spend it on. I’m thinking of buying tickets for a holiday in a few weeks. The clearing of heads is very much needed.
“Yes.” I say on the line, listening to my newest investor. “That’s very reasonable. I shall meet with my lawyers and have my secretary book a meeting for us.” He says something from the other side. He’s being very lenient. People like these are the kinds I love working with. “It was nice having to speak with you, Oliver. We would make fine partners.” My grin widens. “Have a great day.”
I stay on the line further and wait for him to end the call. If I was years younger, I may have considered having my little victory dance, but my nature wouldn’t allow me to. I feel good having to secure a deal. It’s been a while since I had proper work to do outside the whole school charade. It feels relaxing to secure a deal.
I sigh with relief as I sink my back backwards in the chair. Despite being involved with business in the underworld, I do have legal functioning ones which I keep separate for a lot of reasons. I don’t plan to spend all my days in this shrewd business. Although I can’t say the same for Liam, I don’t know what he wants at this point.
Speaking of which, I’ve got to phone him. He’s my all time ‘secretary’. I sit up and lower my phone beneath eye level and dial his number when I hear voices.
From how faint it sounds, I can tell it’s coming from my living room. One reason for the location of my home office being here is that it gives me a decent amount of observation of every other room in the house no matter how far it is. I am well trained to sense even the slightest of shift in the air or hear a pin drop on a rug.
