Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 36

Mikayla stood before the big floor-to-ceiling window, watching the busy traffic below.

Even though she had delegated tasks properly, the most important thing was finding a suitable manufacturer within two weeks. Salvatore Group had its own long-time manufacturers. A discussion with Maxius revealed the manufacturers' equipment could no longer meet their latest needs. It was most likely the reason for their previous failed breakthrough attempts.

She asked the manufacturer's person in charge, and they agreed to bring in the needed equipment, but only if Salvatore Group paid 17 million dollars in advance for it.

They were still in the trial-and-error phase. Investing so much in materials from the start could be risky-if the attempt failed, they'd be left with useless inventory. The company wouldn't fund it without some results, and she couldn't afford the risk.

Plus, Salvatore Group had a ten-year contract with this manufacturer. Breaking it to work with someone else would mean huge penalties, which wasn't worth the trouble. The board would be furious if they found out.

The manufacturer's contact listed two names, but it was actually one person. She had sent someone to investigate. The contact would pocket a small profit through underhanded means but was smart enough not to go overboard. He was playing a dangerous game. He was meticulous, had a good wife, and stayed away from other women. His personality made him a good business partner, but it also meant he was tough to influence. She couldn't find a weakness to leverage, making him hard to deal with.

Mikayla plopped back in her leather chair, tapping her fingers on the documents on her desk, feeling utterly stuck.
