Chapter 1736 Accept His Offer
Nina thought about it and responded, âItâs up to you, Maya. If Wilbur is not the father to Janiceâs child, yet, he chose to keep mum about it, then Iâm pretty sure thereâs more to this issue than meet the eye. Itâs either heâs willing to take up the responsibility or was forced to do so.â
Nina continued, âThe relationship among the Simpsons is very complicated, and I donât think you can handle them. I hope youâll think carefully, listen to your heart, and consider your next move.â
Maya went deep in thought for a bit. âI believe he did this out of his will. I donât think anyone in the right mind would be willing to bear such a responsibility!â
She then added, âI donât think itâs fair for Wilbur to face this alone. I want to find out the truth and help him!â
Nina knitted her brows. Does Maya just want to help Wilbur as a friend? I donât think so. I think she still hasnât gotten over him.
Itâs going to be a tough battle, though. Janice is a wolf in sheepâs clothing. Can Maya handle her?
âAre you sure about that, Maya?â
âYes!â Maya nodded.
Nina sighed. âDo what makes you happy then. Call me if you need help.â
âThanks, Nina!â
âDonât mention it. Weâre sisters.â
âIâm so touched. What would you like to eat for dinner? Iâll cook for you, Nina!â
Nina reached out her hands and cupped Mayaâs face. âYou donât have to. Iâll be eating out. I have a date with Stephen tonight. Congratulate me, will you?â
Maya looked at Nina with her large sparkly eyes. âAre you sure you want to be with Stephen? You sure about this?â
âYes. Do you have a problem with that?â
Maya thought about it and shook her head. âNo. Iâm pleased to hear that. Now that he carries Chrisâ heart, Iâm sure heâll love you as much as Chris did.â
Ninaâs heart sank the moment she heard Chrisâ name.
She intended to tell Stephen about Chris today. I wonder how Stephen will react to the news?
âI need to go to the office now. You should get to the food plaza soon too.â
âOkay. Letâs do our best today!â
âOkay!â
After Nina had left, Maya took a deep breath and went upstairs to change.
Before leaving Imperial Garden, Maya decided to work with Wilburâs representative. Why should I turn down his offer since heâs willing to contribute the ingredients? Letâs see what heâll do next.
Soon, Maya arrived at the food plaza. After a round of negotiation with the representative, they reached an agreement.
âI look forward to working with you, Ms. Maya.â
âWith the price youâve given us, Iâm sure this collaboration will go well.â
The representativeâs face darkened when he heard that.
Deep in his heart, he felt the price he offered was below the market rate, but he could not say no since Wilbur had given the green light to proceed. Who am I to complain if Mr. Simpson wants to do this to make Ms. Maya happy?
After leaving the food plaza, the representative gave Wilbur a call. âEverything went according to our plan. Ms. Maya has agreed to work with us.â
âAll right.â
No one could offer Maya ingredients of such high quality except his company. Even if the other companies could, the cost would be sky-high.
Maya wished to expand her food plaza business with her own might. Costly ingredients could cause her business to experience a financial setback. Wilbur thought this was the least he could do to help Maya, even though they had parted ways.
All the best, Maya.
The sun had set, and it was time to get off work.
Nina took a glance at the watch, hoping that someone would knock on her office door.
She started counting down in her heart. Three, two, oneâ¦
Someone finally knocked on her door. A corner of Ninaâs lips curled up right away.
