Chapter 714
“You’re finally here, Mister Lynch!” Ava forced a smile and stood to welcome him.
“Miss Addice, I’m a busy man. I’m sure you’ll forgive me for being late,” remarked Mister Lynch casually, knowing that Acme Group would be willing to wait since they were the ones begging for his help.
Ava, though frustrated, could not let it show. “Have a seat, Mister Lynch.”
They all took their seats, and Ava called the waiter in to prepare drinks and snacks.
“Miss Addice, who is the beautiful lady next to you? What’s her name?” Mister Lynch’s eyes lit up at the sight of Janice.
“Mister Lynch, allow me to introduce her. This is the sales department manager, Janice Lynch, and that’s Leon Wolf next to her,” Ava introduced them briefly.
“It’s a pleasure, Miss Lynch.” Mister Lynch stretched out a hand to shake Janice’s, all the while ignoring Leon since he concluded that Leon was merely an employee.
“Hello, Mister Lynch…” Janice hesitated before reaching out to shake his hand.
Mister Lynch took the opportunity to rub her hand and was excited by how smooth her skin was.
“Miss Addice, I’m sorry, but this has been decided by the board, and I can’t do anything about it,” said Mister Lynch.
Ava suppressed the disgust she felt for the man and flattered him, saying, “You’re too humble, Mister Lynch! You’re the vice president and play an important role in the firm. I’m sure that your opinion is highly valued… We’re hoping that you can offer us a discount out of respect for all the years we’ve worked together!”
Pleased, Mister Lynch smirked smugly. “You’re too kind, Miss Addice. I’m not at all that important! However, the board has made it my responsibility to discuss this matter with you, so I suppose there are things that I can do!
“How about this: I’ll give you a two percent discount, and your firm can simply pay us an extra eight percent of the total profit.“
