The President's Darling Chapter 727
On the other end of the phone, Suzanne sounded hasty—she even sounded a bit nervous. She was a confident woman. However, she would become unusually anxious when speaking to James. She sat on her sofa at home and waited for his reply. James was hesitating as well. Since this was not a small project, he couldn't believe that David Camberwell handed it over to his daughter. The Xomus Business and Trade Tower was the biggest joint venture between Quigley Group and Camberwell Group. Their goal was to build the first-ever entertainment and cultural center in the country. The building was 150 levels high. It was easily one of the tallest buildings in Rosseera City.Even for the Quigley Group, the Xomus Tower project was extremely significant. How could the Camberwell Group put Suzanne in charge of such an important contract?If that was the case, he couldn't possibly reject her now. He had to separate professional matters from his private life."Oceanview Restaurant, Ms. Camberwell.

James preferred quieter settings. Especially since they were here to discuss the contract, he would rather just book out the entire place. Additionally, he had security guards stationed outside the building, too. He didn't cause such a commotion because he thought highly of Suzanne. Instead, he chose to do so because he valued the contract greatly. The project was worth hundreds of billions of dollars and was one of Quigley Group's most important ones.He was seated as he waited for her arrival. Suzanne was punctual as well. She was wearing a white mini-dress that showed off her legs. Her slender figure and silky hair made her look elegant and refined, reflecting the poise of an upper-class woman.She approached James. "Hello, Mr. Quigley. I hope I'm not late.""Not at all," he responded as he pulled out the chair for her. As a gentleman, he would've done so regardless of who was on the receiving end. After they were both seated, he delved straight into the business. "The total

"The Camberwells are indeed benefiting from Quigley Group's status, Mr. Quigley. However, since we're partners, shouldn't we aim to have a mutually beneficial relationship? In regards to that, I feel like dividing the profits into equal shares would be the best way to go about this."Suzanne spoke in a soft and gentle tone. She was hoping that James would give in out of consideration for the two families' long-standing friendship and cooperation. To her dismay, he scoffed in response. "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'there are no family ties in war,' Ms. Camberwell? This is especially true in the business world. Do you think I would do you this favor?" Since they were discussing partnership plans, James wasn't planning to go easy on her. The business industry was ruthless and cutthroat—no one was willing to offer handouts of any kind. When it came to business dealings, he was extremely resolute and relentless. The Xomus Tower was a huge project. Losing out on even a small pe

It was just as she explained—if she didn't choose to comply, James wouldn't have gone through with the partnership. If someone had to give in, Suzanne chose to do so voluntarily. It was the only way they could both benefit from the situation. Subsequently, she added, "You've been in talks with my father about profit shares for a month now. On typical occasions, something like this would've been settled within three days. "The both of you were taking too long, and the market is extremely unpredictable. If you hadn't come to a consensus soon, something could've happened and impacted both sides negatively. Do you think I'm right, Mr. Quigley?""You are." James didn't deny it. Her analysis was incredibly spot-on. This surprised him. He was under the assumption that Suzanne Camberwell was the sheltered daughter of a rich family. Upon returning from overseas, she should be living a pampered lifestyle. He had underestimated her—he didn't expect her to be so knowledgeable.His impres

After a moment, David asked in a serious manner, "How are things going with James, Suzanne? I heard about it from your mother—do you really think you could get him to like you?"He was concerned about this. He only gave her such a huge project because Layla told him about the situation.At the current moment, the Quigleys and the Camberwells were close partners. However, that was still a professional relationship. If James and Suzanne could get into a marriage of convenience, it would greatly benefit both of their families.The Quigleys were one of the four most prestigious families in the country—there were plenty of people who wanted to be associated with them. Suzanne, on the other hand, seemed extremely confident. "I should be able to make him like me. At the very least, I think I'm a much better catch than his wife is.""That's great. You should try your best to make our family proud.""Of course, Dad." She smiled softly. Suzanne looked overjoyed, but her expression was lac

Since Suzanne brought up Norman, James felt like he shouldn't be too adamant about rejecting her. He shouldn't keep all his relationships purely professional. It would have seemed better if he had been more than just a business partner with the Camberwells. Besides, in his opinion, Suzanne was quite a respectable woman. She was independent and capable. Aside from being slightly immature and constantly clinging to him, she wasn't that bad of a person. Thus, he agreed. "Let's go watch a movie then.""That's great!" Upon his agreement, she reached for his hand and sprinted toward the cinema.The cinema was extremely crowded and bustling with activity. Young couples were all over the place. Posters of celebrities were plastered across the walls, and music was playing from the speakers—everything was wonderful.James sat on the sofa of the waiting room while his bodyguard got him a movie ticket. His expression was in stark contrast with the cheery environment he was currently in. He

"What are you doing, James? You drove Summer away!" Kelly yelled angrily. "Go after her!"James wanted to do that, too, but Suzanne was holding onto him extremely tightly. He couldn't possibly go after Summer."Let go, Suzanne!" he barked."What's wrong, James? Why are you so worked up? Was that woman your wife?" The latter asked in feigned ignorance. She was fully aware that it was his wife, but she still asked anyway. She just wanted to stall time and stop him from going after her.He didn't waste any more time. He broke free from her grip and took off without so much as a backward glance. The cinema was filled with people. It was not easy to squeeze through the crowd while looking for someone. He couldn't afford to waste any more time, so he began yelling in the public space. "Summie! Where are you? Let me explain…" Everyone in the lobby looked toward him at the sound of his voice. In a split moment, the crowd seemed to have stilled. Everyone stared at him with curious e

"Stop." James retracted his arm from her grasp before swiftly turning away from her. "You'll have to excuse me. I have other matters to attend to. We can talk about other things in the future," he said coldly.Nothing could stop him from going to see Summer right now. He had never seen her so upset before—she ran off without saying a word. She was still a girl, after all. Despite being strong and resolute, she was fully capable of being jealous of him. The outside scenery flashed by the window as his car sped toward the Beaut Moon residential area. He was feeling extremely complicated.Lexi was standing at the front door when James arrived. "Hello, Mr. Quigley. Mrs. Quigley seems very upset. I think it's best if you don't provoke her any further."As Summer's personal bodyguard, Lexi was fully aware of what happened at the cinema. She followed closely behind her all the time, so she was informed of her whereabouts. In her opinion, she believed that he was at fault. He was a
