This issue was already anticipated by everyone, as the journalists are always sharp and caustic.
Faced with such questions, it wasn’t easy for either Kris Cooper or Nathan Leafcastle, which is precisely why Kris Cooper was determined not to let Vera Wave attend.
"Mr. Cooper, may I ask, why didn’t Ms. Wave attend the press conference?"
"Because she’s working. As the Planning Director of Ashton, she has a lot of important matters to attend to."
"Mr. Cooper, may I ask, on what grounds did Ms. Wave get the outside prison execution?"
"That’s my wife’s personal privacy, and I refuse to answer. I just want to say, we have conducted everything according to legal procedures."
...
Facing the sharp questions from the journalists, both Kris Cooper and Nathan Leafcastle maintained absolute composure, while Sally Dalton just smiled at the rumors previously ntioned.
After the press conference ended smoothly, Kris Cooper walked out first through the side door, staring at Nathan Leafcastle and Sally Dalton as they walked out together, he spoke seriously.
"You two, I have so important matters to discuss with you, please follow to Ashton."
Sally Dalton and Nathan Leafcastle exchanged glances, then turned to him and nodded lightly.
So, the three of them returned to the top floor of Ashton, Kris Cooper led them to a private reception room, and then stopped at the doorway.
"Please, both of you, take off your phones and watches... everything."
"What do you an?" Nathan Leafcastle frowned and asked.
Kris Cooper placed his phone into the basket handed over by Tommy Taylor, raising his hand to take off his watch, "For confidentiality."
Sally Dalton took her handbag and placed it into the basket held by Taylor, then took off her watch as well.
Shrugging, Nathan Leafcastle also removed his phone and watch and put them in.
"Please!"
Kris Cooper invited the two inside, and two staff mbers ca in to check them with detectors.
Right there, Kris Cooper himself was no exception, even the table and chairs were thoroughly inspected.
Once it was confird that everything was in order, the staff nodded to Kris Cooper.
"Alright."
Kris Cooper raised his right hand, and the staff exited the room.
Inviting the two to sit down, Kris Cooper took the main seat.
"The reason I invited you two here today is to discuss our total bid price. I don’t want a fourth person to know this data." His gaze fell on Sally Dalton and Nathan Leafcastle’s faces, "I assu... you both can understand why I’m doing this."
In a day, it would be the official bidding day, and this final bidding price is crucial for whether we can successfully bid.
This is a project worth hundreds of billions, and Kris Cooper’s caution is not without reason.
If the competing company knew their bid value, it would have terrifying consequences.
Sally Dalton smiled, "I appreciate Mr. Cooper’s caution."
Nathan Leafcastle also nodded, "Shall we begin then?"
Thus, the three imdiately started discussing the final ultimate bid.
At this very mont, outside the door, Tommy Taylor had already picked up Nathan Leafcastle and Sally Dalton’s watches and phones, handing them to the waiting staff next to him.
The staff imdiately took them and turned to a small workspace on the side, where several technicians were already seated among a bunch of computers waiting.
After taking the items, he imdiately began working, disassembling the watches and phones on the table.
