Bella looked at him carefully examining the contract, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she didn’t say much because she also understood the ins and outs of the business world. Once there was a problem, a mere supervisor couldn’t bear such responsibility.
She originally thought Jaeden was a lecherous middle-aged man, but it turned out he was quite discerning. At this moment, he wasn’t driven by lust. Although he was a bit lecherous, he remained rational, unlike those sleazy men who couldn’t even walk straight when they saw a beautiful woman.
After about fifteen minutes, Jaeden slowly put down the contract and said, “There’s no problem with the contract.”
“Spicurity Group is also a major conglomerate like our Stresall, and I trust Spicurity Group’s reputation. Moreover, this is beneficial for our Bradshaw Group, and we won’t refuse such a good opportunity. It should be feasible.”
“So, Mr. Garza’s intention is…” Bella leaned her slender arm on Jaeden’s shoulder, her breath like orchids as she asked.
Every move was accompanied by an invisible allure, aiming to break through this man’s defenses.
Jaeden chuckled, “I can take this contract back and have it reviewed by our manager or even top management. As long as I strive for it, securing this contract won’t be difficult. The five million amount may sound significant, but…”
“But what?” Bella’s heart suddenly tightened. This contract was crucial to her, not just because of the money and commission, but more importantly, she wanted to crush her competitor, Charlotte, under her feet. This time, she wouldn’t lose to that despicable woman.
Hearing Bella’s nervousness, Jaeden smiled, “I’ll take a two percent profit margin from this contract, as a kickback.”
In this confrontation, he completely seized the initiative and advantage. Bella’s anxiety over this contract showed how much she valued it. So even if he made more unreasonable demands, Bella would eventually agree. Years of experience in the business world and the ability to read people’s words and expressions gave him this confidence.
As soon as Bella heard this, her face darkened. This man was ruthless, taking a two percent kickback from a five million contract meant a hundred thousand dollars. He was profiting too much.
Even if she secured this contract, with a five percent commission, that would be two hundred and fifty thousand. Subtracting the two percent kickback, it would leave her with only a hundred and fifty thousand. Meanwhile, Jaeden could easily pocket a hundred thousand just by talking!
And he got her too!
It was too easy.
This made her resentful. Why? This old man was different from the others. While others might just take her kickback, some even offered her a substantial profit… But this guy wanted both money and sex!
Seeing her hesitate, Jaeden immediately said, “If Miss Anderson feels this deal isn’t worthwhile, then forget it. I won’t insist.”
“Moreover, today, a woman from your company called me, saying she also wants to discuss this matter with me. I wonder if she’d agree to such conditions.”
Upon hearing this, Bella’s expression froze. Had that despicable Charlotte already made her move? Upon careful thought, Jaeden’s request was indeed a bit excessive, but that’s the rule of the business world! She was currently at the mercy of others, wasn’t she?
Besides, even if Jaeden took a two percent kickback, she’d still have a profit of a hundred and fifty thousand, which was not a small amount at all.
Most importantly, she had to fight back. She couldn’t let Charlotte snatch away her business! Only then, when she returned to the company, could she confidently flaunt her success in front of Charlotte, trample her face under her feet, and rub it in mercilessly!
