Chapter 1056

To be honest, I 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 I was clueless about the general

situation.

"Ms. Lane?"

A man's voice sounded in my ears. It sounded a little familiar.

I looked up and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man.

I 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."

I suddenly remembered and hurriedly got up, saying," I'm really sorry, Mr. Isaac. I drank quite a bit

of alcohol last night and was feeling light-headed. I wasn't able t o recall your name in such a short

time."

The man chuckled. "You have to remember my name from now on, Ms. Lane. Otherwise, it'll be

awkward when we meet next time."

I 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.

I 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?"

I smiled slightly. "Fredericks Corporations."

"Fredericks Corporations, I 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 I asked for two glasses of fruit juice. I 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 I learned that

Grant Corporation is having a bidding event, I told her to come over and try her luck. She didn't

want to come at first and thought that she would never win the bid because her company is too

small, but I 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.

I smiled but did not say anything.

Seeing that it was getting late, I took a sip of juice and got up, saying, "The bidding event is about to

begin, M r. Isaac. I 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 some more?"

Even an idiot knew what he was up to. I 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 to me about, Mr. Isaac?”

Mr. Isaac grinned slightly and sat back on the sofa, gesturing for me to sit down as well.

I 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.

I helplessly smiled. "Are you concerned about my livelihood, Mr. Isaac?"

Mr. Isaac froze a little, then started chortling. "You’re humorous, Ms. Lane.”

I 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 become good partners."
