Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 966

"What's the number that you have in mind?" Steven wailed in his heart and was prepared to be slaughtered.

"How about a five percent increase?" Nina said the price that she and Bianca had discussed.

They were businesswomen. They could not afford to be soft-hearted when faced with men like him. They also wanted to teach him a lesson.

Steven felt his heart ache. A five percent increase would mean that the planned budget would burst. He wanted to try his luck and said, "Ms. Langdon, isn’t five percent a little too much?"

"It is, but if you were seeking cooperation with T Corporation, their asking price will be more than this." Nina smiled, showing no sympathy for him.

Steven gritted his teeth. He knew that she mentioned T Corporation on purpose.

Nina added, "What's more, leaving aside the partnership, if you go to court, you have to compensate and lose much more than that."

When Steven left Shandra’s law firm last night, she had mentioned that if he went to court, he was doomed to lose. Due to the other party's identity and status, the amount he had to compensate would be about the same as the price Nina was currently proposing.

If he compromised, he could still get something out of it and his reputation would not be damaged. After weighing his options, Steven agreed to their request. "Okay, let’s go with a five percent increase."

Bianca asked the front desk assistant to come in.

The assistant opened the door and walked in.

Bianca told her, "Print two copies of the contract with St. Heckler. The price needs to be revised, please increase the original price by five percent."

"Okay, please give me a moment." The assistant nodded and made the necessary changes. After a while, she printed the contracts and sent them to the reception room.

When Bianca took them, the paper was still hot. She put the two contracts on the solid wood coffee table and said, "Steven, have a read. If there are no concerns, let's sign the contract today."

Steven glanced at the price and did his best to keep his cool. It was a big loss and he would need to figure out how to explain it at work. He had always exploited others but for the first time, he was exploited by two women.

Steven, who originally looked down on women, now deeply regretted it.

He took a closer look at the terms of the contract, confirmed that they were the same, and signed his name on the last page of the document.

Bianca also signed her name. She handed one of the copies to the assistant and said, "Put it on my desk."

"Okay, Ms. Rayne." The assistant took it and walked out.

Steven's heart was bleeding. Seeing that he had things sorted, he confirmed with her again. "Ms. Rayne, the lawyer's letter..."

"You can keep the lawyer's letter. I’ll inform Mr. Walter to stop pursuing the case. You can rest assured." Seeing that they were done, Bianca stood up and wanted to shoo him off. "Steven, thank you for choosing us. We’ll make sure that you’ll be satisfied with the end result."

"Happy to do business with you, I won’t take any more of your time. Good day." Steven was crying and mourning in his heart, but he had to put on a smile and leave the office with the contract in his hand.

After Steven left, Bianca returned to her office, took out her phone, and sent Luke a message to update him on the matter. She also asked him to contact Walter Long.

Nina opened the door and walked in while praising Bianca. "As usual, I’m impressed. Our financial reports will look great."

Bianca looked at Luke's brief reply and guessed that he was busy. She put the phone away and looked at her friend. "This contract has always belonged to our company."

"The last time I went on my honeymoon with Luke, I also saw her. She was with her boyfriend." Bianca thought of the fat and greasy man named Harvey.

"Let me guess, is he a local tyrant?" Nina gossiped.

"Should be." Bianca was not interested, especially when Harvey did what he did when Hera was taken away by the immigration police.

He ran as soon as there was trouble. It was not true love.

"Is he handsome?" Nina continued to gossip. "When she was in school, Hera picked only the handsome and rich to be her boyfriends. She said she would not settle if someone had one but not the other."

Bianca could not remember what Hera said back then but she still remembered Hera’s bad behavior. "Her boyfriend? How can I put it, he’s..."

"What about him?" Nina was keen to find out more.

"He’s just another Steven." Bianca could not say that he was ugly, so she had to find a more appropriate description.

"Steven? Is he a fat guy?" Nina exclaimed. It seemed that people's tastes would change. She did not expect Hera to pick a boyfriend who had money but no looks.

"Yes." Bianca called for the assistant to notify Sue and Shireen to come to look for her.

Nina was satisfied after gossiping. She stood up and said, "Okay, I’ll leave before your next meeting. I’m meeting the client in an hour, I want to touch up my makeup."

"Nina..." Bianca called to her as though she had something to say.
