Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 882 You’re Inside Here

As she stood under the huge building, she raised her head and looked up at the magnificent building.

She could not help but sneer.

How stupid had she been in the beginning to believe in every word he had said? She believed and

loved him wholeheartedly but what did she get in return eventually?

“Ms. Flores.” Atwood walked over, “You have reached here so early.”

“We on behalf of RM Group take this collaboration seriously. So, I don’t want to be late.” Amanda was

wearing a suit today. She kept her hair back neatly so that she looked clean and competent.

“Please come inside.” Atwood made a welcome gesture to Amanda.

Amanda walked into the building.

There were still many familiar faces here since nothing had changed much during this year. She was

still familiar with the surrounding people but she did not have the same state of mind as in the past.

“Is Mr. James married yet?” She asked casually.

Atwood was startled and said politely, “He is single now.”

“Oh.”

After getting off the lift, Atwood led her to the meeting room and pushed the door open, “Ms. Flores,

please have a seat first. Mr. James will arrive shortly.”

Amanda nodded gently as she walked into the meeting room. She pulled out a chair and sat down.

Then, she took out all the documents and placed them on the table.

The secretary poured a glass of water and brought it over.

“Thank you.” She lifted the glass of water and took a sip. Then, she looked around the meeting room

while putting the glass back on the table.

“Mr. James.” The secretary met Stanford who was coming in at the doorway.

Amanda straightened her body when she heard the voice.

Stanford stepped into the meeting room. The familiar footsteps and even the approaching scent stirred

up her emotions. However, she was able to calm down quickly.

Atwood who was following him walked past the meeting table and sat down opposite Amanda.

“This is the contract. Mr. James, please take a look at it.” Amanda placed the document in front of

them.

Stanford took it over and flipped through the content.

Amanda slightly leaned back on the chair, “We all know that Aegis Security Services is operating quite

well at the moment. The parent company has made a net profit of 152 million dollars in August alone

this year. They definitely won’t allow all shares acquisition by other people. Besides, there are two large

trust companies behind them. If we want to purchase their shares, not only do we need a strong capital

base, but also a thorough plan. This document separates both our companies in terms of

commitments. If you think there is something inappropriate, we can discuss it again.”

Stanford raised his head.

“Is there any problem?” Amanda asked with a smile.

“No problem. It’s just that Ms. Flores’s tone reminds me of somebody whom I shouldn’t be thinking of.”

He closed the file, “Equal pay for an equal reward. There is nothing wrong to share the profit by half.

But if you want to use the name of J&Y Group, you have to commit 2 more per cent.”

“It’s just a name…”

“Then we will use the name of RM Group instead.” Stanford interrupted aggressively.

This was his usual negotiating tactic as he would never give in. He would always demonstrate a

dominant possession when dealing with profit.

Amanda was well-prepared since she had been with him for so long before. She still knew his

character.

“You know it’s not easy to acquire Aegis Security Services. Although we use the name of J&Y Group,

still the acquisition proposal will be carried out by us. What does Mr. James think?”

Stanford crossed his hands and rested on top of the file. His posture was overbearing while he looked

askance at Amanda, “Ms. Flores, you don’t look very old. How did you become the person in charge of

this case appointed by RM Group?”

“Mr. James also doesn’t look much older than me and you’re…” She smiled while throwing up her

hands, “You’re already the general manager of such a big company.”

She slowly straightened her body and gazed at him aggressively, “Then can I ask how did Mr. James

manage to achieve such success today?”

Stanford narrowed his eyes when he had eye contact with her, “Who are you?”

Amanda leaned backwards and chuckled, “Is Mr. James forgetful? How can you forget your business

partner so quickly?”

Stanford clenched his fists tightly. It was obvious that the two faces were completely different, but why

was he so familiar with her?

“Mr. James, how is my suggestion? If Mr. James thinks it’s feasible, we will sign the contract today and

we will propose it within a month. What does Mr. James think?”

“Ms. Flores, regarding the proposal, we on behalf of J&Y Group can also…”

“Just do as Ms. Flores said.” Stanford suddenly changed his usual domineering posture. He flipped

open the file and signed the contract.

Atwood looked at him with his eyes wide open, “Mr. James…”

“Don’t say it anymore. That’s all.” He closed the file and handed the document to her after signing the

contract.

Amanda thought in her mind that she might have to negotiate a bit more with him. However, she did not From NôvelDrama.Org.

expect him to sign it so quickly. She picked up the pen and signed the contract. Stanford stared at her

handwriting as she signed.

However, it was not like what he had expected.

Her handwriting had been so neat in the past, but her handwriting now was so messy and ugly.

She raised her head after she finished signing, “Sorry for my poor handwriting.”

Stanford was very disappointed deep in his heart.

“Mr. James, I’m looking forward to our cooperation.” Amanda closed the file and reached out her hand.

Stanford also reached out to shake hands with her. He did not withdraw his hand immediately this time,

but he held her hand, “Have we ever met before?”

Amanda withdrew her hand and asked with a smile, “Why did Mr. James say that?”

“I’m sorry for being abrupt.” He regained his sense and said, “I still have other things to do.”

He got up and walked out of the meeting room. He stopped when reaching the door, “Ms. Flores is

unfamiliar with City B since she has just come here for the first time. Atwood, you bring her back to the

hotel.”

“Alright.” Atwood stood up.

He was too abnormal today.

Atwood looked at Amanda intuitively as he pondered about it. In fact, he did not notice anything weird.

“Ms. Flores, please.” Atwood walked over and made a polite gesture.

Amanda picked up the document and said with a smile, “Sorry to trouble you then.”

“Not troublesome at all.” Atwood walked ahead and led her just as he had brought her in.

Stanford returned to his office and sat down at his desk. He was also aware of his abnormal reaction

today.

He pulled the drawer and took out a crystal-framed picture. The picture had been kept in the drawer for

a year. Since she was gone, he kept the picture in the drawer and he never dared to look at it again.

His heart hurt vaguely when he stared at the old picture.

He reached out to touch the person in the picture. The smiling face was so innocent and romantic.

He still remembered that she had requested him to put the picture in his office.

She hugged him while acting cute, “Stanford, I want you to look at me every day.”

“Childish.” He said helplessly at that moment.

“It’s supposed to be childish when you love somebody.” She put the picture on his desk regardless of

whether he had agreed. She also said smugly, “I look pretty, right?”

She did look pretty.

“I look at you every day. Should I put a picture of me at home so that you can look at me every day

too?” He said while hugging her.

She held his hand and placed it over her heart. Then, she smiled and said to him, “You’re inside here. I

will think about you every day.”

At that moment, he wanted to flinch but he was unwilling to let go of it.

While looking at her serious yet innocent smile, he smiled with her at that moment as he could only see

her in his eyes.

There was a snap!

He suddenly dropped the picture on the table. He bent down as he put his hand on his heart.

He could not suppress the pain in his heart regardless of whatever method.

“You know what? I hate you so much when I watch you smile. How can you be so heartless? She has

just died recently and you’re already so happy. You don’t even feel upset about her death when going

to school. Why are you so cruel by just leaving me alone?”
