To be honest, I was starting to have a headache right now. Fixing the bid proposal alone to make it presentable was difficult enough, not to mention the fact that I was clueless about the general situation.
"Ms. Lane?"
A man's voice sounded in my ears. It sounded a little familiar.
I looked up and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man.
I froze a little, then asked curiously, "You are?"
The man chortled twice and said, "Great wits have short memories. Have you already forgotten me, Ms. Lane? We met last night."
I suddenly remembered and hurriedly got up, saying," I'm really sorry, Mr. Isaac. I drank quite a bit of alcohol last night and was feeling light-headed. I wasn't able t o recall your name in such a short time."
The man chuckled. "You have to remember my name from now on, Ms. Lane. Otherwise, it'll be awkward when we meet next time."
I nodded with a smile. "Definitely."
Mr. Isaac sat on the sofa and looked at the documents i
n my hands, asking faintly, "Are you here for the bidding event too?"
I nodded. "You too, Mr. Isaac?"
Mr. Isaac smiled. "Of course."
Judging from Theo's reaction last night, it was clear that he was not going to make a decision so soon.
Hence, Mr. Isaac thought it was compulsory for him to participate in the bidding event today.
I sat on the sofa, shutting the file and laptop in my hand.
Mr. Isaac saw that and asked with a smile, "Where do you work at, Ms. Lane?"
Even an idiot knew what he was up to. I said mildly, " I’m greatly honored that you’re willing to chat with an insignificant secretary like me. What is it that you would like to talk to me about, Mr. Isaac?”
Mr. Isaac grinned slightly and sat back on the sofa, gesturing for me to sit down as well.
I maintained good manners and sat down on the sofa, looking at him with a smile.
"How much will your commission be when you get this project, Ms. Lane?" he asked, not intending to beat about the bush.
I helplessly smiled. "Are you concerned about my livelihood, Mr. Isaac?"
Mr. Isaac froze a little, then started chortling. "You’re humorous, Ms. Lane.”
I laughed along with him and did not say much.
When Mr. Isaac was done chortling, he said, "Miss Lane, why don't you delve into details? If our discussion goes well, then we might even become good partners."
