He was well aware of the weight a director from Universal Group


    carried.


    Nash casually crossed his legs and said, “rkke, don’t think I’m


    unaware of what yourpany is up to. If you scheme against


    Baroque again, I won’t hesitate to drive Innovate Collective to


    bankruptcy.”


    rke’s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly


    suppressed his inner shock. It was impossible. They had executed


    that n wlessly. There was no way an outsider could know about


    1.


    Nash continued, “Also, there’s Splendor.”


    After Duncan instigated the fire at Baroque, Nash had been busy


    dealing with him and had no time to pay attention to Splendor and


    Innovate Collective.


    rke stared at Nash in disbelief. He suddenly felt that the person in


    front of him was unfathomable.


    “Are you the one behind Baroque’s growth from apany with just


    over a hundred employees to what it is today?”


    “What do you think?”


    “I understand. From now on, Innovate Collective will notpete with


    Baroque in any way!”


    “Good. You’ve got some sense.” Nash nodded.


    rke lowered his head and quickly left the office. Once he was


    outside, he realized that his back was soaked with sweat.


    Lucas returned to his desk and called Hera.


    “Ms. Lewis, I’m the new manager of Universal Group’s Business


    Department. We’ve decided to purchase chips from Baroque at


    market price and are hoping for long-term cooperation!”


    There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds.


    It was not until Hera’s secretary called out to her that she snapped


    back to reality. “Am I… Am I dreaming? Aren’t you supposed to sign al


    contract with Innovate Collective this afternoon?”


    Lucas chuckled. “Until the contract is signed, everything is uncertain.


    Are you avable now, Ms. Lewis? I’ll bring the contract over!”


    “No, no, I’lle over!” Hera quickly replied.


    “No need, no need, I’lle over!” Lucas insisted.


    “But we’re the supplier, and you’re the client. The client is everything,


    so how can we make youe over?” Hera replied modestly.


    Lucas had turned on the speakerphone. He looked at Nash awkwardl


    and saw him nodding, so he agreed.


    An hourter, Hera, dressed professionally in a suit and high heels,


    arrived at the office while panting. “Mr. Welsh, I’m here!”


    She was incredibly nervous. She had practically run the red lights on


    the way here.


    Lucas had already prepared two copies of the contract, both signed

    and stamped. Hera immediately wrote down her name without even looking through the contract.


    “Mr. Welsh, I’m really grateful to you. I came in such a hurry today and


    didn’t have time to prepare any gifts. How about I treat you to a meal


    another day when I have time?” Hera said nervously.


    Lucas sighed and smiled wryly. “No need for gifts or meals. The


    Inspection Department is strict about these things.” He nced at


    Nash sitting on the couch.


    Hera noticed Lucas’ gaze and turned her head to see Nash leisurely


    sipping tea.


    “N-Nash… what are you doing here?” she asked.


    “I’m an employee of Universal Group. Is it strange to see me here?”


    Nash smiled.


    Only then did Hera realize that Nash had helped her. He had not


    forgotten his promise to her.


    Nash stood up and said, “Mr. Welsh, sorry for the interruption. I’ll take


    my leave now.”


    Lucas also stood up and said, “No worries, Mr. Calcraft. Feel free to


    Nash then took Hera on a tour of the Inspection Department. Juan


    and Lynn were not in the office, so Nash pulled Hera into his own


    office and closed the soundproof door. He then drew the curtains.


    Hera looked at Nash warily. “You want to do it?”


    Nash nodded seriously. “Yes, I do.”
