As long as Natasha showed a hint of hesitation, Thea would be the winner of that negotiation.

However, Natasha could not be bothered.

“What has that got anything to do with me?” she asked. “It’s not even my project, and the bonus would not be mine.”

“One word from me is all it takes to make you in charge,” declared Thea confidently.

Natasha’s eyebrows arched slightly. From the looks of it, Thea was familiar with what she was doing.

“I have no interest in snatching away my colleague’s efforts. I might not be good at much, but I have a bottom line. Whether or not you use our company’s proposal, I couldn’t care less. After all, it’s your loss. I can’t say that our company’s proposal is the best in the world, but it definitely is the best that you’ve ever encountered.” Natasha spelled it out word by word, mocking Thea at the same time.

Instantly, Thea’s expression darkened. At the sight of Natasha’s mocking gaze, Thea wanted nothing more than to wipe that smug look off her face.

“Instead of using the project as a leverage on me, why don’t you ask me how much money I would accept to obey your requests? Wouldn’t that be a lot better?” Natasha stared at Thea.

Thea narrowed her eyes. Looks like you’ve finally revealed your greed.

“How much do you want?”

“How much do you think Kenneth is worth?”

No matter what question was asked, Natasha would always reply with another question.

Thea could tell that the woman in front of her was sharp. Out of all the previous negotiations she had been in, Natasha was by far the toughest opponent. It was nearly impossible to break her stance.

“One million,” offered Thea.

Natasha arched an eyebrow in response. “Looks like Kenneth is only worth one million in your eyes!”

“Natasha Watson, you’re well aware of Kenneth’s worth. One million is to give you a chance. Even greed should have its limits,” replied Thea.

Natasha mulled over Thea’s words. After a moment, she nodded. “You’re right. In that case, have you prepared the check?”

Thea had originally expected to go through a few more rounds of debate. Never would she have imagined Natasha to agree immediately, causing her to be slightly taken aback.

Nonetheless, as long as money was concerned, it was child’s play to Thea.
