Scarlett refused Brycen's request, looked at Caroline, and gestured for her to go on," Pray continue, Miss Moody."
After being scolded by Brycen, Caroline then performed even worse.
Brycen scowled his displeasure. But the formality of the occasion and Scarlett's refusal made him have to hold his temper.
That ten minutes report was a great ordeal for both Brycen and Caroline.
Caroline subconsciously looked at Scarlett at the end of her report.
Meeting Scarlett's charming eyes, Caroline became flustered and almost lost her footing when she stepped down from the stage.
Katherine reached out to steady her.
Caroline took a look at Scarlett and felt embarrassed.
Then, she moved to her seat in despondency and was terrified to look at Brycen.
There was an awkward silence, and a tense air filled the reception room.
However, only Oschane Corporation's negotiators felt that way.
Scarlett was silent to wait for the other side to speak first.
She did not mean to embarrass Caroline. The accident that day was no big deal after all, and it was over.
Besides, she had said those things to Devin that day, and then they were quits.
Scarlett then took a look at Caroline and said to Brycen, "Mr. Howard, for the sake of Miss Moody, that's the best price I can offer. It's okay if you can't accept it. Future cooperation is possible."
Brycen was rendered completely passive in that situation.
Brycen knew very well that Scarlett was right.
Although Tsing Corporation's offer was attractive, they would completely alter the brand from the original 'Oschane'.
On the contrary, Mornet Corporation could remain 'Oschane'. That was exactly what
Brycen looked for.
