Chapter 232
Although Alexander was speaking to Wesley, not her.
Lila still felt a chill run down her spine.
Right now Wesley was present, and it was Wesley who had handed her the business card, so he could only give Wesley a hard time for now.
But once Wesley left, she would be the one in trouble.
Wesley naturally heard that Alexander was angry too.
He turned back to look at Alexander, "Mr. Sinclair is the CEO of the mighty Sinclair Group, broad-minded, surely you wouldn't mind me giving a business card to your employee?"
Alexander’s tone rose slightly, “Wouldn’t mind?”
Before the other party could reply, he scoffed lightly, "Mr. Morris has already given my employee a business card, why wouldn't I mind?"
"I believe with the Sinclair Group's people-first philosophy and practices that surpass the industry, you'll definitely be able to keep your employees' hearts, so I didn't really want to have Miss Grace come work for me, just expressing my appreciation for her. Mr. Sinclair doesn't need to overthink it, no need to hurt our relationship."
"Wesley Morris, you're quite good at arguing."
Wesley was slightly stunned.
He didn't expect Alexander to call out his full name directly, it seemed he didn't even want to maintain surface-level civility anymore.
All for a driver?
He didn't continue that train of thought, and after coming back to his senses, looked at Alexander and said, "Mr. Sinclair, you flatter me, I'm just speaking the truth."
Alexander walked to Lila's side, looked her up and down, then glared at her fiercely before looking back at Wesley, "You might not know this, but I've always been particular about my territory, and I especially hate when people try to take my things on my turf."
Lila frowned.
Things?
Who's a thing?
She felt insulted.
However, compared to her dissatisfaction, Wesley was obviously more nervous, because she was only indirectly insulted, but Wesley was facing the crisis of losing this partnership.
He looked at Alexander, "Mr. Sinclair, what do you mean by that?"
The latter's lips curved into a slight smile, his expression clearly gentle, but the coldness in his eyes was chilling, "Mr. Morris's behavior in my office has made me very unhappy, so the partnership with Washington Tech ends here, we won't discuss it anymore."
Wesley's previously calm expression changed instantly at those words.
He seemed not to have expected that just a small driver would make Alexander react so strongly, and quickly said, "Mr. Sinclair, the partnership between Washington Tech and the Sinclair Group is frankly a win-win situation, why act on impulse?"
"Impulse?"
Alexander repeated those words with unclear meaning, then smiled, "To me, this isn't impulsive. Mr. Morris poaching my people on my turf is challenging the Sinclair Group's authority, and disrespecting the Sinclair Group. Since Mr. Morris doesn't respect us as a partner, why should I rush to throw money at investing in your Washington Tech?"
Not just Wesley, even Lila was extremely surprised hearing Alexander say this.
So, just because Wesley gave her a business card, Alexander was going to abandon the partnership with Washington Group?
Although she didn't know how much money was involved in their partnership, Lila had heard of Washington Tech. It held an irreplaceable position in the semiconductor industry, definitely a quality company.
This partnership was also one Alexander was personally negotiating, so to say it wasn't important would definitely be a lie!
In the lounge, because of Alexander's words, it became quiet.
Eerily quiet.
After who knows how long, Wesley smiled, his attitude softening considerably, "Mr. Sinclair, can we talk privately?"
