Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 103

Callum replied, “Since Mr. Little isn’t sincere about wanting to discuss this with us, then we don’t need to waste any more time.”

He started rising from his seat as soon as he finished speaking.

Dominic shot up at once as he was terrified that the deal would fall through just like that. He carefully tried to appease Callum. “Not at all, Mr. Winthrop. We can still talk about this. How’s this? I’ll pay 150 million. That’s double the price that Winthrop Group bought the land for. Why don’t you sell it back to me at that price?”

It pained Dominic to offer that much, but he gritted his teeth and tossed the number out anyway at the thought of how valuable the gold mine would be.

“Oh? 150 million? Is that all… That piece of land isn’t worth merely 150 million.” Elspeth didn’t seem satisfied with this number as she shook her head in response.

“150 million is already a very generous offer. What if you’re just tricking me? I would be at a great loss…”

Dominic looked troubled. His heart squeezed at the sight of Elspeth’s reaction.

“Tricking you? Mr. Little, if you think we’re trying to trick you, then we might as well forget about this deal.”

Elspeth stood up at once.

“Wait! Hang on. I’ll offer more, okay? Really now…” Dominic had to compromise and offer 225 million to repurchase the land, though it killed him to do so.

“Let’s sign the contract now and finalize the deal sooner rather than later.”

The moment Elspeth made the suggestion, Dominic immediately became cautious. “Let’s not get so impatient, Miss Lynwood. Didn’t we say we would talk about ourselves once we’re done discussing business? If you came here today because of me, then why don’t you just be mine? What’s 225 million? I can even offer 500 million or 750 million if need be.”

Elspeth’s smile stiffened. “What bold claims you make, Mr. Little! Are you sure that’s possible?”

She was disgusted by this portly, perverted man, but for the sake of tricking him into signing the contract, she had to put on a dazzling smile.
