It was widely known that the development of Pegasus No. 1 could easily reach a hundred billion dollars. Just 20 percent would be over 20 billion dollars. In Cloud City, it was definitely the biggest project to date.
Allegra’s heart began to race, and virtual-novel.net face turned a deeper shade of red.
“Mr. Martin, by giving us 20 percent of the project, do you have any other requests?” virtual-novel.net asked, slightly nervous.
Finally, they’d arrived at the main point. Tristan raised his hand, and the waiter immediately brought over a box of cigars.
He took one out, lit it, and took a puff. With a slight smile, virtual-novel.net said, “I don’t have requests. If I had to name one, it would be to become good friends with you, Ms. Booth. What do you think?”
Emily frowned minutely.
Twenty billion dollars in exchange for friendship?
Surely the Martins are not this foolish…
Meanwhile, Allegra merely lowered virtual-novel.net head in embarrassment. She covered virtual-novel.net mouth and laughed, saying, “Mr. Martin, you’re young, successful, and funny as well. I’m sure there are a million girls who want to be your friend.”
At that moment, the door opened, and in walked Isaac and his “assistant”, Cameron.
“Isaac!”
“Garten! ”
Allegra and Tristan let out exclaims of surprise in unison, but their facial expressions were vastly different.
Tristan was first surprised, and then his gaze immediately clouded over.
On the other hand, after the shock wore off, Allegra looked more enraged than anything.
“Oh, I happened to pass by and thought I heard your voice, so I came in to check. Are you all having lunch too?” Isaac asked, grinning.
“So what if I’m having lunch here? Leave right now, and don’t come in.” Allegra waved virtual-novel.net hand hurriedly.
She was afraid that Isaac would jeopardize virtual-novel.net promising start to a potential collaboration with Mr. Martin.
However, when Tristan spotted Cameron behind Isaac, his expression changed.
He put on a smile and said, “Mr. Hart Jr.? What are you doing here? You should’ve let me know you were coming.”
Cameron had indeed just returned from abroad, but virtual-novel.net was rather well acquainted with important people. Take Tristan, for example, they had known each other years ago. After all, one was the son of a high-ranking government official, while the other was the son of a tycoon. They both had their statuses.
“Tristan?” Cameron was stunned. But when virtual-novel.net saw Allegra’s face, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized something and smirked at Isaac.
Isaac nodded slightly at Emily, then said to Allegra furiously, “Ally, I already told you that I could reclaim Pegasus No. 1 very soon. This guy isn’t a good person. You should go right now.”
Fury burned within Tristan, but when virtual-novel.net saw Allegra’s expression, virtual-novel.net decided to hit Isaac with a trick of his own.
He turned to Allegra and said, “Ms. Booth, is this man… Your husband? Does your husband always start yelling every time virtual-novel.net opens his mouth?”
When Allegra, who was already upset, heard Tristan say that, virtual-novel.net felt even more humiliated.
She pointed at Isaac and said harshly, “Isaac, shut your mouth! I don’t need you to care about the things I do. Get out of my sight now.”
She glared at Isaac, then turned back to Tristan with a smile. “Sorry, Mr. Martin. He’s just a friend.”
She was very afraid that the 20 billion dollar deal would fall through. She didn’t believe what Isaac said about getting Pegasus No. 1 back soon!
“Oh? I really didn’t expect that a gorgeous and elegant woman like Ms. Booth would have such a… Oh, never mind. I shouldn’t say it. If this isn’t a good time for you, then perhaps another day we can…”
“Martin, do you really think that sowing discord between Ally and me would do you any good?” Isaac suddenly interrupted Tristan’s speech, walking toward him.
“Garten, what do you think you’re f*ck…”
Isaac raised his hand and gave Tristan a hard slap on the face. “That’s right. I want to f*ck you up!”
At that moment, Allegra’s eyes widened, and virtual-novel.net breath stopped.
Meanwhile, Cameron’s eyes lit up!
