Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

Chapter 0008

MARK'S POV

A knock came on my door.

"Come in," I called out without tearing my eyes away from the files before me.

I heard the smooth creak of the door, as it was opened My assistant's voice drifted to me, "Luxe Vogue has replied, sir."

"Hmm," I hummed, and nodded. "When will the necklaces be ready?"

"It's not about the necklace, sir, It's about the acquisition offer we sent them."

I looked up and pushed my chair back. "Oh, really. When are we meeting to finalize the handover of the website?" I asked.

It had been a coincidence that Atelier is partnered with the website I've had my eyes on for the past months. Their response hadn't come for months, but I had been relentless. I kept instructing my assistant to keep sending them emails.

After Bella had left, I had searched about Atelier myself and damn! Bella was right. They made stunning jewelry. The quality of their stones was top-notch. It had filled me with pride and reassured me that acquiring the website was a good decision. It would improve GT Group's goodwill if one of the companies in our grasp is partnered with a studio like Atelier.

"There's no fixed time for that, sir." I frowned, a 'why' on the tip of my tongue, but he beat me to it. "The founder had directly turned down our offer, sir."

I sighed. It was more money they wanted. Nothing more. "Increase the acquisition price to a hundred million dollars," I couldn't help the smirk that accompanied my instruction. No one would refuse such an amount, no matter how much they loved the company

I pushed my chair forward to dive back into work, but my assistant was still lingering there. When I arched a brow at him, he spoke up. "They left no room for negotiation, sir. They aren't interested in any acquisition proposals, so they asked us not to contact them again."
