Chapter 1736 Accept His Offer
Nina thought about it and responded, “It’s up to you, Maya. If Wilbur is not the father to Janice’s child, yet, he chose to keep mum about it, then I’m pretty sure there’s more to this issue than meet the eye. It’s either he’s willing to take up the responsibility or was forced to do so.”
Nina continued, “The relationship among the Simpsons is very complicated, and I don’t think you can handle them. I hope you’ll think carefully, listen to your heart, and consider your next move.”
Maya went deep in thought for a bit. “I believe he did this out of his will. I don’t think anyone in the right mind would be willing to bear such a responsibility!”
She then added, “I don’t think it’s fair for Wilbur to face this alone. I want to find out the truth and help him!”
Nina knitted her brows. Does Maya just want to help Wilbur as a friend? I don’t think so. I think she still hasn’t gotten over him.
It’s going to be a tough battle, though. Janice is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Can Maya handle her?
“Are you sure about that, Maya?”
“Yes!” Maya nodded.
Nina sighed. “Do what makes you happy then. Call me if you need help.”
“Thanks, Nina!”
“Don’t mention it. We’re sisters.”
“I’m so touched. What would you like to eat for dinner? I’ll cook for you, Nina!”
Nina reached out her hands and cupped Maya’s face. “You don’t have to. I’ll be eating out. I have a date with Stephen tonight. Congratulate me, will you?”
Maya looked at Nina with her large sparkly eyes. “Are you sure you want to be with Stephen? You sure about this?”
“Yes. Do you have a problem with that?”
Maya thought about it and shook her head. “No. I’m pleased to hear that. Now that he carries Chris’ heart, I’m sure he’ll love you as much as Chris did.”
Nina’s heart sank the moment she heard Chris’ name.
She intended to tell Stephen about Chris today. I wonder how Stephen will react to the news?
“I need to go to the office now. You should get to the food plaza soon too.”
“Okay. Let’s do our best today!”
“Okay!”
After Nina had left, Maya took a deep breath and went upstairs to change.
Before leaving Imperial Garden, Maya decided to work with Wilbur’s representative. Why should I turn down his offer since he’s willing to contribute the ingredients? Let’s see what he’ll do next.
Soon, Maya arrived at the food plaza. After a round of negotiation with the representative, they reached an agreement.
“I look forward to working with you, Ms. Maya.”
“With the price you’ve given us, I’m sure this collaboration will go well.”
The representative’s face darkened when he heard that.
Deep in his heart, he felt the price he offered was below the market rate, but he could not say no since Wilbur had given the green light to proceed. Who am I to complain if Mr. Simpson wants to do this to make Ms. Maya happy?
After leaving the food plaza, the representative gave Wilbur a call. “Everything went according to our plan. Ms. Maya has agreed to work with us.”
“All right.”
No one could offer Maya ingredients of such high quality except his company. Even if the other companies could, the cost would be sky-high.
Maya wished to expand her food plaza business with her own might. Costly ingredients could cause her business to experience a financial setback. Wilbur thought this was the least he could do to help Maya, even though they had parted ways.
All the best, Maya.
The sun had set, and it was time to get off work.
Nina took a glance at the watch, hoping that someone would knock on her office door.
She started counting down in her heart. Three, two, one…
Someone finally knocked on her door. A corner of Nina’s lips curled up right away.
