Chapter 152: Andy, Do You Like Abigail?
"Since we’re friends and Silverstone Group is my firm’s main client, I won’t charge you that much; I’ll give you a rate of $5,000 per hour. How does that sound?"
It took a moment for Andy Bennet to respond.
"You don’t want to?" Rowan asked when he saw Andy lost in thought. He knew Andy must be shocked by his fee. "Fine! I will tell my client you refused—"
"I didn’t say I refused, Rowan!" Andy hurriedly protested.
"So you agree?"
"Can you only charge me $4,000...?" Andy asked.
Rowan inwardly laughed at his words. "Hmmm. Deal!" he said, extending his hand to seal the deal.
He hadn’t intended to charge that much, but Sawyer had instructed him to do so. He felt he had no choice but to comply with Sawyer’s request, even though he planned to give Andy a discount.
If Sawyer questioned him about the discount, he intended to explain, "Miss Abigail would be shocked if she received so much money. She might refuse it and return the money." He believed Sawyer would understand.
Andy smiled as he accepted Rowan’s handshake. Still, later, he found himself calculating how much money he would need to pay Rowan.
"Andy, are you sure Silverstone Group can spend that much money to handle this case? I doubt the shareholders will agree with you. They might call a shareholder meeting if they find out about it..." Rowan expressed his concern about Andy’s seemingly unreasonable decision.
