The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 160

“Alright, here’s the deal if all goes well, we can ink the contract today,” Patricia chimed in, “Let’s lock in the plan before someone else snaps up our talent. Once we nail down the plan, where’s he gonna go? Later on, just throw a bit more commission his way, smooth things over, and all will be well.”

Don looked at her for a good while, as if making up his mind about something big, and finally nodded in agreement.

“Okay, fine. If you’ve got your eye on something, I’d have to pull down the moon for you if that’s what you wanted, right?” Patricia cracked up. “You sure have the gift of the gab. If Brandon had half your sweet talk, I wouldn’t be worrying my head off all the time.”

Don just smiled and didn’t reply.

He headed over to Patricia’s office that afternoon and they got the contract signed.

Truth be told, the main contract was already signed when Brandon approved the project design. Brandon held the reins of the project, but to avoid a head-on clash with Daniel and Patricia, on the surface, they were still in charge for the time being. Hence, there was also a side contract prepared to sign with them, and it stipulated that in case of any disagreement, the terms of the main contract would prevail.

Patricia, being familiar with the folks involved, didn’t scrutinize the contract too closely, assuming it was based on the original agreement, so she signed and stamped it without much fuss.

Walking out of Patricia’s office, contract in hand, Don gave it a flick with his finger.
