A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2127

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2127

“Ms. Zimmer, hold on. This is my name card. Call me after you wake up. I’m sure you know very well that there’s no one I can’t find in this world,” Larry said in an icy voice.

Of course the woman grasped the meaning behind his words, but the dominance in his tone only served to further pique her interest in him.

“Alright. I’ll call you immediately after I wake up.” She gently patted Larry’s back and left.

Staring at the woman as she made her way into the villa, a hint of disdain flickered across Caspian’s features.

“Larry, I don’t think that woman is as simple as she looks,” he warned.

Indeed. It’s only our first meeting, but the way she carried herself in conversation makes her seem like a woman who has seen a lot in life.

After barely a few minutes on the road, Larry’s ringtone blared through the car.

Glancing at the unknown number flashing across his phone screen, the man furrowed his brows and immediately declined the call.

However, the caller was persistent. Larry felt like his phone would ring forever if he didn’t pick it up.

“Hello?” A hint of impatience laced Larry’s voice.

“Oh my, Mr. Norton. What’s the matter with you? You were the one who gave me your name card. Why didn’t you answer my calls earlier?” Jessica drawled in a lazy tone.

It’s her.

“My apologies, Ms. Zimmer. I thought you were asleep,” Larry explained in a low voice.

In fact, he had already guessed that Jessica was the one calling. He simply hadn’t felt like answering it.

“Now, now. Are you saying I can only call you after I wake up? That won’t do. I’ll miss you.” Larry felt nauseated by her suggestive words.

Truth be told, he had two strings to his bow. However, he couldn’t recklessly give up either party before everything was confirmed.

“How’s it going?” he asked Caspian with a serious expression.

“I’ve found one, but the boss is a very difficult man. He isn’t all that interested in collaborating with domestic companies, so I think it might be a long shot,” Caspian swiftly replied.

Larry had heard about a foreign manufacturer with strict requirements for its partner companies. It was precisely because of the company’s failure to reach an agreement with them that prompted the shareholders to relentlessly search for domestic manufacturers to partner up with instead. At that time, Larry hadn’t taken over Norton Corporation yet.

Larry’s eyes shone with resolution. “We must seal the deal with them. Him alone as our partner will be more than enough.”

“Then what about Jessica Zimmer? Should we stop following up with her?” Caspian asked curiously.

“No. We should still establish a good relationship with her. Before we can collaborate with a foreign manufacturer, we should first have a good relationship with the local people in this business.” Larry sat down on the sofa beside him and lit a cigarette as he spoke.

Surprise flashed across Caspian’s face when he saw this. In the past – unless he was really worried – Larry seldom smoked. Seeing how he just expertly lit the cigarette, he probably smokes every day now, doesn’t he?
