Chapter 1095
But now, unfortunately, there was no way to undo it. Since that was the case, better to end it quickly than drag it out. He didn’t want to see that woman in the industry again. Rather than let a rotten apple keep bouncing around, it was better to deal with it sooner. Daniel had figured it out–was there any shortage of people he could hire in the future? Keeping someone so brainless around would only cause him more trouble.
What he really needed to think about now was how to handle the matter with Walton Corporation. That woman had agreed on his behalf, and with no one to take the fall, he would have to face the aftermath alone. The most urgent thing now was to contact Joseph. When he returned to his office, Daniel immediately called Joseph. It took a while before the call was finally answered. Joseph sounded impatient. “What is it? Calling at this hour. “Have you decided when you’re ready to sign the contract?”
Hearing that, Daniel’s initial enthusiasm cooled a little. In truth, the terms Joseph had offered weren’t anything special–the main thing was that he knew Daniel’s tastes well. The goods he delivered always left Daniel very satisfied. It was because of this that Daniel was willing to chat with him a bit longer. But now, faced with this kind of attitude, and with Walton Corporation as a competing option already reaching out to him, Daniel began to waver. He thought there was no harm in keeping his options open. After all, it was just merchandise. Was there any kind of merchandise he couldn’t get? And besides, with money, was there anything he couldn’t have?
Thinking of this, Daniel’s tone toward Joseph carried a hint of disdain. “What’s the matter? You're suddenly so busy?”
“You don’t usually bother to call me. Weren’t you the one so keen on this deal before?” Joseph, staring at the mess in front of him, was already feeling overwhelmed. He caught the sarcasm in Daniel’s tone, but with this project, he couldn’t afford to lose it. All he could do was push him to hurry up and sign the contract. “I’ve been busy with other matters lately. Your call came as a bit of a surprise.” Joseph’s voice carried a trace of suggestion. “I haven’t reached out recently because I wanted to give you more time to think it over. My sincerity is already on the table. “If you are looking for more than that, I really have nothing else to offer. I wouldn’t know what else to do.”
Hearing this, Daniel froze for a moment. True, he understood Joseph’s reasoning. But who wasn’t greedy? Of course, he wanted something better. If there was a better option, he certainly wouldn’t settle for what he had now. “Not necessarily. I just wanted to tell you something.” Daniel took a drag from his cigarette, looking completely at ease. “What is it?” The impatience on Joseph’s face deepened, though fortunately they weren’t speaking face-to-face. Otherwise, Daniel would have easily noticed how impatient he was. But Daniel didn’t care about that–he was only interested in things that benefited him. Anything else wasn’t worth his attention. “Walton Corporation–you’ve heard of them, right?” Daniel said directly. “Of course I have. Why?” At the mention of the familiar name, Joseph even sat up a little straighter.
