Chapter 173

As I was mulling things over, a sweet and soft voice suddenly popped up next to my ear, “Xaviera, Mr. Temple was talking to you.”

My gaze shifted curiously to Cecilia, and when our eyes met, I could clearly see a look of longing flicker in her apricot eyes.

I knew it was a hint.

I glanced at Hogan. His expression was as usual, no sign of any particular emotions.

I had to come up with a middle–of–the–road response, “Mr. Abbott is top–notch in his field in the whole scene. Once we team up, I’ll make sure to coordinate the whole project team and shield FreeMan’s creativity from any bumps in the road.”

After hearing this, Sean cracked a subtle smile and said, “Ms. March, you have a perfect logic.”

My gut was telling me that wasn’t meant as a compliment.

But Sean’s face was all smiles, and it didn’t seem sarcastic either.

I was at a loss trying to figure out what my opponent was thinking.

The negotiation was at a critical juncture.

I knew that saying more would be useless, so I didn’t add anything else.

Cecilia wasn’t wrong about one thing: the two conditions Hogan had laid out were impossible to find on the market.

The earnestness was plenty clear.

Now it all hinged on what Sean had in mind.
