CHAPTER 95

Chapter 95: Negotiation “I will get back to you soon. Wait for my message. I will communicate with you soon, then we can talk about some other things. Is that fine?” Grey proposed, his gaze on Caramel.

“Yes, Boss. I like it,” Lan responded and his voice sounded lively now.

Grey hung up and opened the door. He stared at Caramel in blue jeans and a yellow blouse. Her hair was braided and it made her look more beautiful.

“Grey, what took you so long? What were you discussing?” She gathered her wrinkles as she slipped into the passenger’s seat.

Grey sighed. He didn’t want to think of the fact that Seth and Audrey might have started their meeting already. And there was no way he would be able to pick calls with Caramel beside him.

Grey fingers ranked through his hair nervously. “Just got caught in something. I was only distracted. What are you doing here anyways?”

Caramel smiled. “I came here for fun,” her gaze trailed from his face, down to the wet shirt. “Why are you wet?”

Grey looked down at his shirt and sighed. He had almost forgotten about what Nora had done to him.

“It was a mistake. A waiter poured wine on me,” he lied and looked up at Caramel.

“So, Grey,” she touched his hand, “A beach picnic by Saturday. Are you in?” She sounded excited.

Seth had two rooms reserved for Audrey. He did it to eliminate suspicious people. owns all content.

Audrey had moved into the room and was waiting for Seth. Seth had to tarry behind in case anyone was tailing him. “You kept me waiting too long,” Audrey uttered immediately after Seth stepped in.

Seth smiled.” I had to make sure we are safe,” he explained and moved to sit in front of Audrey.” The agreement must be sealed tonight, that was what you told me,” he reminded him. Audrey nodded.” The buyer is close by. You will get your money immediately,” he assured

Seth smiled. “Good because I’ve booked a flight already and I would like to move out by tomorrow morning.” Audrey regarded him for a moment. ” You are running away?” Seth shook his head briefly, quickly. “Just for vacation.”

Seth didn’t tell Audrey initially that the person he was messing with was Hercules. Maybe if he had, he wouldn’t have taken the job up. Audrey hated being caught in the mess that he was currently in. Instead, he believed in making previous plans which were what Seth was doing. The upsetting thing was that he wasn’t taking Audrey along with him.

Maybe if he had told him the truth, they might have discovered a way to get past it. Not anymore, Seth lured Audrey and he was going to give him a taste of his medicine.

Well, he needed to do that or he might not pass midnight. After that night, he would go with his next plan. Hercules would be damn for threatening him. “Let’s get started then,” Audrey initiated. “I hope you came with the relevant documents?”

Seth nodded briefly. “I did. Let’s talk about money. We don’t have all day,” he proposed and Audrey nodded.” So, where’s the buyer?” “He’s a private person and he doesn’t want to risk anything.”

Seth felt a stab of annoyance.” What do you mean? This is supposed to be very private. I’m here because it is. And you assured me that I would be meeting the buyer on a personal level.” Audrey observed him for some minutes. “Of course,” he smiled. “You will as a matter of fact. He’s been out of the country recently and he was the only one that offered to buy the company at such a limited period. And he agreed to discuss the price with you on the phone,” he revealed.

Seth thought about it for a moment. Maybe he was scared of Hercules and was making sure his plan wouldn’t fail. But he also knew that a business without knowing the buyer was the best for him. Who knows, Hercules might get hold of the buyer and threaten him to find Seth. By that time, the buyer would be able to recognize him. He didn’t want that.

Seth looked over at Audrey and nodded briefly. “It’s safer that way, let’s proceed. I would like us to talk about the money,” he said quickly. Audrey nodded once, pulled out his phone, and dialed Grey’s line. It rang severally but Grey didn’t pick up.

Seth watched Audrey for a moment. “Is everything alright?” Audrey nodded severally. “It is. I will just dial the line again,” and he did.

Grey picked up immediately but he didn’t talk, apparently, he was waiting for Audrey to take the chase.

“Hey, good evening. So, I’m on with the seller which we’ve decided to keep private until the signing of the papers,” he explained.

Seth nodded briefly, pleased by it. Whoever was the buyer wouldn’t know it was KK corporation until after he had paid. And Seth wouldn’t be able to return the money because he would have flown out of the city already.

Though, he was going to think of something to do with Grey before he leave. He was going to ruin him that morning before he left.

“Understood,” was the deep clipped voice that responded. “So, I will hand it over to you,” Audrey informed before he placed the phone on the table in front of them. “Mr seller, how much are you going to sell the company,” Grey inquired in a thick voice that prevented Seth from realizing he was the one talking.

Well, there was no way he would even imagine it. He thought Grey was the most miserable man in the world.

“Three million dollars,” Seth started.

Silence permeated from the other end for some minutes.

“The company is empty, isn’t it? And I’m supposed to change a lot of things. There’s no way I would take it for that amount. One million dollars.”

Seth felt anxious immediately.” What the fuck! That’s so low!” He snapped.

Grey sighed.” Mr. Audrey, didn’t you tell him?”

Seth raised skeptical brows at Audrey.” Tell me what?”

Audrey blinked once, lost. He didn’t even know what Grey was talking about.

“Prices negotiated here are always low especially if it’s so private like this. That’s how it has always been,” Grey explained.

Audrey nodded quickly.” Yes, he’s right.”

Seth observed Audrey for a moment and it looked like he was uncomfortable.” But Mr. Buyer, I would be paying Mr. Audrey out of my money. Paying him out of one million dollars is unfair.”

Charts Nigotiation

“That?” Grey laughed.” You don’t need to do that. I will pay him from my pocket, “he revealed.

Audrey felt someone punch him so hard in his heart. He shut his eyes for a moment and slowly nodded. Grey was controlling his life and he hated it so much. Seth made a quick calculation. Well, the buyer was right. Actually, he had sold everything in the company to prepare for his departure. The money from the sale of the company was just for him to start any business when he got to where he was going. So, it looked like a great deal for him.

“Ok, Mr buyer. Let’s make it two million dollars,” he proposed.

“I don’t have all day for this, Mr buyer. You are either taking it for one million dollars or this deal is off. I have other things to take care of,” Grey lied. “I have no buyer, for now, Mr seller. You might have to wait till tomorrow for any news,” Audrey said quickly. Seth decided to take it. He had no time to waste anyways. Hercules gave him fiv days and tomorrow was the last day. He didn’t even want to risk it.

Seth cleared his throat. “Well, that seemed like the best deal ever,” he responded happily.” The money and I will hand over the documents.”

He released a relieved sigh. He didn’t think that everything would be so easy fc him. He negotiated with the buyer over the phone.
