Chapter 1438 Discussion
“There’s nothing to be nervous about. You look great! Just relax.”
Maya took a deep breath before following Davin into the hotel.
Wilbur was already waiting in the hotel in his custom-made suit. The moment he saw Davin and Maya, he immediately stood up.
The night before, his parents told him that Evan had two daughters. One of them was Nina Seet, an arrogant woman who did whatever she liked. Moreover, she had dated someone else in the past.
The one he was meeting today was Maya Seet. She was pure, innocent, and had never been in a relationship before. That was the reason why his parents asked him to seize the opportunity.
Wilbur fixated his gaze on Maya’s face until she stopped in front of him. He flashed a smile and greeted them, “Mr. Seet, this must be Ms. Maya, right? She’s gorgeous!”
Davin nodded. “Yes, this is Maya Lane, the little princess from Seet Group. She’s also my personal assistant.” He then introduced Wilbur to Maya, “Maya, this is Wilbur Simpson. He’s a rising star in the business field. His capability is well-recognized. You guys should get to know each other more.”
“Hello. I’ve long heard that Ms. Maya is beautiful and kind. It’s my pleasure to meet you today. You’re way more charming in person.”
Maya was baffled as she stared at Wilbur’s outstretched hand. That’s new to me. I never knew that people should butter each other up before discussing a business project.
However, she was aware that she had to mind the reputation of Seet Group, so she reached out her hand to shake Wilbur’s. “Hello. You’re very outstanding too. I hope both of us will have a smooth negotiation later. I’m really looking forward to our cooperation.”
Wilbur was stunned. Negotiation? Cooperation? What does she mean?
His parents thought that their family would benefit from his marriage with Maya. In fact, the Simpson family were more concerned about the business cooperation between the two families. Could it be that Maya and the Seet family have the same thought too?
Davin glanced at Maya. Silly girl! You’re still thinking about the cooperation, huh? Love is the only cooperation that will be happening between Wilbur and you. Unfortunately, I can’t explain anything to you. Otherwise, this blind date is going to end now.
He cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. “All right. We should stop standing here. Let’s take a seat.”
After they were seated, Davin brought up the topic about the past collaborations between Seet Group and Simpson Group on purpose. Wilbur mentioned that the cooperations with Seet Group were pleasant. He also hoped that they could work together again in the future. Then, Davin talked about the problems they had faced during the business cooperations. Wilbur answered all of his questions patiently.
Maya listened to their conversation from the side. She did not know anything about the business projects between Seet Group and Simpson Group, so she had nothing to say about those. She could only listen to them silently with a faint smile.
Fifteen minutes later, Davin’s phone rang. After answering the call, he dismissed himself temporarily so that Maya and Wilbur could have some private time.
Maya had no idea what she should do next. She looked at Wilbur and grinned foolishly. “Uncle Davin will come back after settling his work. You guys can continue the discussion later.”
Wilbur frowned. “You’re the one who should be involved in our discussion today.”
Huh? Although I’m here as an assistant, Uncle David told me that I didn’t have to go through the project. He said I didn’t need to know anything before coming. Why is Wilbur asking me to join the discussion now? I have no idea what to say!
“B-But I don’t know how to discuss that with you. I think you should wait for Uncle Davin,” Maya replied sincerely.
Wilbur pondered for a moment. The more he thought about it, the more something did not seem right. He did not reveal anything in front of Maya. Instead, he headed to the washroom and gave Davin a call.
“The truth is, Wilbur, Maya doesn’t believe that she’ll meet a suitable partner. For some reason, she’s reluctant to start a relationship with any man. Since you’ve already found out the truth now, then I’ll be honest with you. She doesn’t know that I brought her there for a blind date. You can just try chit-chatting with her. If you think that she’s suitable for you, you should make the first move to pursue her. But, if you think she’s not the one for you, we can’t force things, right?”
