Love At The Right Price

Chapter 36
Tamara took the collaboration agreement sent over by the Hardy Group in her hands, and she signaled to Lucy. “Inform Evan
that Colt Enterprise agrees to the collaboration.
However, Lucy didn’t quite agree with Tamara’s decision. “Boss, I reckon that there’s no need for us to collaborate with the Hardy
Group. Right now, we’re way ahead of them in the corporate world, so why should we stoop to their level?”
“What do you mean by that? Are you saying that you don’t trust my decision?” Tamara lifted an eyebrow in response.
Meanwhile, Lucy quickly denied it by gesturing with her hands. “Of course not! I trust your abilities. However, you don’t need to
prove your abilities by collaborating with such inferior companies.”
At that, Tamara couldn’t help feeling curious. “The Hardy Group used to be a big corporation that dominated Deacon Town a few
years back. Why do you make them sound so worthless?”
“Evan Hardy is despicable. Back then, after marrying Miss Randall, he made use of his marriage unification with the Randalls
and basically ruled the place for quite some time. However, things aren’t the same anymore. He started to go downhill after
selling off the Randall Group. Although the Hardy Group hasn’t gone bust yet, they face financial difficulties, so they’re not the
best candidate to collaborate with.”
Lucy was afraid that Tamara didn’t have a good understanding of the Hardy Group’s background because of her relatively recent
arrival, so the former patiently explained the details to Tamara with the hopes that Tamara would carefully reconsider this
collaboration.
However, Tamara merely smiled upon hearing that and she insisted on her own opinion. “Vice President Griffith, just proceed
with what I’ve mentioned.”
As soon as Lucy heard Tamara address her as Vice-President Griffith, she realized that she stood no chance of changing
Tamara’s mind. Each time Tamara meant business, she would address Lucy as such.
Hence, despite disapproving of the decision, Lucy could only nod. “Sure, I’ll do that right now.”
After being back in the country for such a long time, it was now time to meet up with Evan.

At 9 PM, Tamara finally completed her work and she got ready to head back to Springvale Place. As soon as she got to the
parking lot, however, she realized that her car had run out of fuel.
She was just about to hail a cab when a Mercedes-Benz came to a stop in front of her.
The car window was gradually wound down, and Frank’s stunning face was revealed.
“Get in.” His voice remained coldly impassive and devoid of feelings.
At that moment, Tamara lifted her brows as she got into the front passenger seat. Casually, she asked, “When did you buy a car?
And such an expensive one too.”
A couple of hundred thousand spent on a Mercedes-Benz might seem nothing to her, but it was quite likely an exorbitant amount
to Frank.
Before Tamara had even adjusted her seat position, the man suddenly inched closer to her and their lips were merely inches
away from each other’s.
Instantly, her heart seemed to stop beating and she found herself holding her breath too. She blinked her eyes and voiced out
anxiously, “What are you doing?”
“Shutting the door.” There was a tender expression that appeared on Frank’s face and he quickly helped her shut the door before
thoughtfully fastening her seatbelt for her as well.
Meanwhile, Tamara gulped and her heart raced frantically all of a sudden. At that point, she couldn’t help wondering whether
there was something wrong with her heart. It seemed that recently, her heart kept racing at random moments.
“What would you like to have?” Frank started the car ignition and casually asked.
“A-Anything’s fine.” Tamara hadn’t quite come to her senses, so she didn’t even pay attention to his words but merely replied
instinctively.
