When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 128

On the road to the airport, York was on the phone, arranging for a lavish gift.

Kristin didn’t intervene, just in case it came in handy.

isn’t too steep either,” York mentioned to Rhett.

Rhett remained silent, glancing at Kristin.

“How much?” Kristin inquired.

“Over a million,” York said with a chuckle.

Kristin took a deep breath before saying, “I think we shouldn’t give gifts that are too extravagant. The Harborside Haven project is an open bid by Eddie, and the FitzGerald Group sets the industry standard. Just being willing to discuss the project and meet him in advance is already a big deal. A little respect given in business is enough. Otherwise, the other party might get cocky.”

York paused for a moment. “But gifting him some king crabs might be a bit too casual, doesn’t it?”

‘Eddie’s mother has a fondness for king crabs, and it’s not their season now. I’ve selected specially farmed crabs, which are raised in greenhouses by the farmers themselves. They’re plump and quite pricey..” Kristin defended her choice of king crabs.

Rhett, resting his chin on one hand, chuckled. “How much?”

“Well it’s three hundred bucks a pop, and I got fifteen female crabs.” Kristin felt the pinch.

“I still think.” York wasn’t entirely convinced.

“Vincent and Nicola got to Harborside Haven ahead of us, and they must have booked Eddie’s time. Nicola would’ve brought Eddie a grand gift. He isn’t blind to the dynamics within the FitzGerald Group. The more someone tries to suck up, the more it seems they’re lacking confidence. If Nicola is currying favor with Eddie, we should do the opposite to show we’re

solid.”

Kristin spoke softly, casting an uncertain glance at Rhett.

Rhett just looked at her, his gaze intense.

“Perhaps we could prepare two gifts and decide which one to gift based on the situation…” Kristin trailed off her voice, lacking confidence.

Kristin’s plan,” Rhett said flatly.
