But then again, he knew that the secret Adrian held was something that he should be cautious about and yet this was a game he did not want to play.“What is it going to be Mr. Evaton, we are both busy men and don't have all time”“I am going to have to see your proposal first”“My proposal was the first offer, but now it is off the table, you sound like you have much of a choice. I need you to give me your final answer, are you handing over the construction contract of City View to Wesley Corporation or not?”Adrian asked, there was this intense persuasion in his eyes that gave out the fact that he was dangerous, this was their first meeting and yet Mr. Evaton knew that he should be afraid of him.“Fine.
