Chapter 135
Even if the Smiths‘ mitial proposal was subpar, Bonnie’s pretentious additions will worsen it. If they fail, I can sow discord between Boule and the Smiths,‘ Trina thought
“Well, well, it’s a pretty decent proposal.” Hamish looked satisfied,
Hadwin was flabbergasted, and so was Trina. Everyone, including Avril, looked at Hamish with suprise as he continued, “These additional parts are the cherry on top. It’s a stroke of genius that I genuinely admire?”
Bonnie was speechless as she forced a simile, thinking Hamish had gone over the top with his flattery. Nonetheless, the wide–eyed Avril slowly turned to look at Bonnie. Even Daken looked at the latter and
then back at Hamish.
Daken frowned in thought while Hadwin was in disbelief, muttering, “H–How’s that possible?”
Trina could not help but think, ‘Wh–what?! How’s Bonnie so capable? Even if she were hiding her true identity, she can’t be so capable, right? Academics are one thing, but the business world is another.
‘Bonnie’s around my age, too. I can’t believe she possesses such an outstanding business mindset. Even Mr. Hamish praised her.‘
Hamish handed the proposal to his assistant and asked, “What do you think?”
The assistant began to sweat. He knew he would get fired if he dared to disagree with Hamish. After all, Bonnie had made changes to it herself.
“It’s perfect, Mr. Hamish! I couldn’t have imagined making such changes to this proposal. They’re just immaculate.” Theassistant exaggerated his admiration, leaving Bonnie speechless.
Hamish glared at his assistant as if to say the latter had overdone it. The assistant noticed his boss’s gaze and realized he had indeed gone too far. The assistant then cleared his throat and awkwardly stepped aside.
Hamish approached Daken and shook his hand, saying, “Here’s to a pleasant cooperation, Mr.
Daken.”
Daken shook Hamish’s hand blankly and said, “Likewise, Mr. Hamish.”
Hadwin’s mouth was agape while the other company representatives sighed and shook their heads. They regretted not being bold enough to show Hamish their proposals sooner. Nonetheless, they were too late, and the Smiths had claimed the project.
Hadwin could not accept defeat. He strode over and asked, “Mr. Hamish, can I look at their proposal?”
“You think—” Hamish paused and then handed the proposal to Hadwin. “Here, take a look for yourself.”
Hadwin carefully examined the document and noticed it was about the same as his. However, his eyes
It up when he saw the changes Bonnie had made.
