Chapter 386 20 Million Turns to 200 Million
“What are you trying to say, Ms. Quint?”
Dave narrowed his eyes. “Our legal teams drafted the contract, and
now you’re saying you’re not signing it. You’re wasting my time.
He sounded malice. His demeanor screamed gangster instea company director.
Thud.
Darcy threw the contract on the table and said curtly, “I’m not wa your time. You were not serious with
the deal. We agreed on 20 million dollars on a year’s lease, but the amount here has changed 200
million dollars.”
200 million dollars? The rental went up tenfold.
Another 200 million dollars and Darcy could buy the title deed to Clover Center outright.
Riley and the others behind Darcy were startled.
With haste, Riley stepped forward and grabbed the document for a look. Sure enough, the rental price
was 200 million dollars.
“You’ve gone too far to change your mind at the last minute, Mr.
Pamela.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRiley hurled the papers down on the table furiously. She was near
tears.
It was a good thing she was not in charge of signing the contract. She would have put her signature on
it without inspecting the details. She could potentially inflict an irreversible loss on the company.
Even though the jig was up, Dave did not seem embarrassed or angry.
He leaned back against his chair, facing his bottom soles toward Darcy as he said cheekily, “Careful
with the accusation, Ms. Quint. You can ask around. I run an honest business.
“I have gotten several interests in renting Clover Center lately. I didn’t rent the building to them. Do you
know why?
“I wanted to rent the place to you, Ms. Quint. That way, I can s often when you clock in for work.”
Darcy ignored Dave’s flirting and said with an emotionless fa agreed on 20 million dollars. You should
have the contract re so we can sign it.
Dave chuckled.
“20 million dollars was the price before. There’s a surge now, Ms.
Quint.
“Clover Center is in the city’s prime site. It’s an ideal location to have a corporate headquarters, so 200
million dollars a year isn’t much.
“I can guarantee that you won’t find a better and reasonably priced office building than Clover Center.”
Seeing that Dave would not budge, Darcy knew that negotiations had
failed.
“I’ll check out other places.”
Dave was taking advantage by changing the price from 20 million to 200 million.
Darcy could not possibly agree to it.
Clover Center was not the only office building available in Lilyrose anyway. She had other choices.

“Fine with me.”
Dave shrugged without a care. “But Ms. Quint, let me be clear about one thing. We, at Skyline Estates,
are the biggest realty in the city. We are the leading agents for office building leases.
“Hehe. Even if you find another office building to your liking, you probably will have trouble renting it.”
Darcy frowned as she could read the threat in Dave’s words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Dave said, Skyline Estates was the largest property manag company in Lilyrose. They handled
most, if not all, commercial
spaces.
“Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Pamela, but I don’t have to rent buildings managed by your agency.”
Refusing to be threatened, she spread her arms. “Please return th two-million-dollar deposit to us.”
“What two-million-dollar deposit? What’s that about?”
Dave scratched his head in confusion and asked his subordinate, ” Have we received a deposit from
Quartet Group?”
“No, Mr. Pamela.”
The subordinate played along with Dave.
“You’re lying. We have a receipt signed by your employee and sealed
with your corporate stamp to prove the transaction.”
Riley pulled out the receipt from her file angrily.
“Let me see.”
Dave took the paper from her for a look. He pursed his lips.
Rip!
DDave fore the receipt in half.
