It was in Vesper Corporation at the International Commerce Center.
Peter paced back and forth anxiously in the chairman's office. He checked the time frequently as if he was waiting for someone.
Just then, the door opened. Peter showed a very pleasant surprise and he looked at the door automatically.
But he was soon disappointed when he saw the comer was Caroline.
“Why are you here?” Peter squinted at Caroline and asked her with a bit unhappy tone.
Caroline was a little discontent with Peter’s tone. Since she became Benedict’s woman, she felt her status has been improved vastly. Even Peter should treat her politely and considerately.
But she did not show her dissatisfaction. She only told Peter the purpose of her visit, “Mr. Lawson, I want to know how many profits you will give me since I helped Vesper Corporation get the contract for the construction project.”
Peter frowned and grew even more disgruntled at Caroline. From his heart, he did not want to share the profits.
What he said before was just an illusion. He never thought he would rely on Caroline to get the contract for the construction project. Moreover, he never had imagined that Caroline would become Benedict’s woman. Then it was a bit difficult for Peter to handle.
He thought for a while and said, “When we can earn money from the construction project, I promise I will not treat you unfairly. I will give you 2% of the total profits.”
In his eyes, 2% of the total profits were enough for Caroline.
The construction project was approved by the superior leaders of Emerdale. It aimed at refining the image of the city of Emerdale. Therefore, it was a wonderful business that not only could make money but also could gain a good reputation.
When the project was carried out, even 2% of the total profits could let Caroline become a multimillionaire.
However, Caroline frowned and raised her voice largely, “Only 2%? It’s too low!”
“How much do you want?”
Peter’s face turned overcast.
To share her 2% was his largest compromise. He did not expect that Caroline was so ungrateful!
“At least 10%!”
Caroline looked at Peter indignantly, “Benedict is my boyfriend now. Do you think you can get the contract for the construction project as you desired without me?”
“That’s impossible!”
Peter’s face scowled at once, “Do you think you can walk all over me because you find a good boyfriend?”
Peter showed a thick murderous look, which scared Caroline to take a step back slightly.
When they were going to talk again, suddenly the secretary came over hurriedly, “Mr. Lawson, Mr. Hudson comes.”
The cold expression on Peter’s face disappeared at once; he said pleasantly, “Finally he comes here. Hurry up to let him come in!”
The secretary nodded and left quickly.
Caroline was not very scared when she knew her boyfriend came. She spoke in a fierce whisper, “We talk about it later. I can ask my boyfriend to give this construction project to you, I can also ask him to withdraw the contract.”
Peter looked at Caroline coldly. He waited for Benedict silently without speaking.
Soon Benedict followed the secretary to come into the office. He was in a suit, smiling.
“Benedict.”
“Dude, what’s up?” Benedict asked with deep concern.
Caroline also gave a puzzled glance at Peter. It seemed that something was wrong with him.
Peter put down the contract without finishing reading it. He took a deep breath and smiled at Benedict, “Mr. Hudson, are you kidding me?”
Hearing this, Benedict was confused, “What do you mean, bro?”
“Are you asking me?!”
Peter lost his temper on the spot. He forcibly slapped the contract down in front of Benedict, and said angrily, “This is not the contract for the construction project. This is the contract for small projects with little profits! How dare you to fool me with such a contract?”
“What?!”
Hearing Peter’s words, Caroline was also surprised. She picked up the wrinkled contract and looked at it carefully.
As she looked up, Caroline’s face also convulsed. She was shaking slightly, “This...This is not the contract for the construction projects approved by the superior leaders at all!”
She paused and then she thought about something. She forced a smile and turned her face to Benedict, “Benedict, don’t try to be funny. I know it is a little surprise that you prepared for us, right? Hurry up to take the real contract for the construction project out.”
Hearing that, Benedict stood up immediately, he looked at Peter and Caroline strangely, “Don’t you want to do the small project of the Hudson family? Now I give it to you....”
“Nonsense!”
Peter roared to interrupt Benedict without letting him finish his talking.
After that, Peter gave Caroline a stinging slap on her face. He broke out his accumulated anger completely, “What did you tell him? I want the construction project, the construction project approved by the superior leaders, not the small projects!”
