Liliana’s expression was indifferent as she looked directly at Edward. “Do you two know each other?”
Edward smiled. “We only met recently. Miss Rowe has been trying to secure a partnership with our company.”
“She offered a better price, and her sample designs were just as impressive as the ones your company presented. I’ve been quite torn.”
Edward calmly picked up his coffee cup. “So I decided to invite you both here to discuss it in person.”
Isabella smiled and sat down. “Miss Hart, feel free to explain, right here in front of Mr. Nightfall, what advantages your Phoenix has over the Cooper Group's Northlight Design Lab.”
Liliana’s mouth twitched into a smirk.
She wasn’t an idiot.
This was an ambush disguised as a meeting.
There was an eighty percent chance that Edward was an old acquaintance of Isabella’s. They were in it together.
A torrent of thoughts raced through Liliana’s mind in a split second.
Even if she managed to land the deal today, it was highly likely a trap set by Isabella and Edward, just waiting for her to step into it.
If something went wrong down the line, they would skin her alive together.
No.
Thinking about it now, this company’s initial contact about a contract was just bait to lure her into their trap!
She was already caught in their scheme!
Liliana reacted instantly.
Without a moment’s hesitation, she stood up, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave. “I’m afraid, Mr. Nightfall, that this partnership isn’t a good fit for us.”
