Chapter 256
Wesley spoke slowly, "After all, I can get Miss Grace's contact information through other channels later, but for the cooperation with the Sinclair Group, if Mr. Sinclair doesn't give the green light, I won't be able to get the funding."
Alexander let out a light snort, "Mr. Morris certainly knows how to weigh the pros and cons."
"Any normal person would make this choice."
"Then congratulations to Mr. Morris - your choice proves that you're a normal person."
Wesley didn't know how to respond to Alexander's aggressive comment.
Alexander continued, "But you shouldn't feel bad about not choosing Miss Grace's phone number, because even if I gave it to you, she wouldn't give you the time of the day."
The person on the other end seemed confused, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Sinclair?"
Alexander effortlessly ignored his question.
However, watching Lila drive quietly, seemingly completely uninterested in their conversation, a thought suddenly popped into his head.
He considered making their relationship public.
With this in mind, Alexander spoke into the phone, "Mr. Morris, I have an idea. I wonder if you'd agree?"
"Please go ahead, Mr. Sinclair."
"After the Sinclair Group and Washington Tech sign the cooperation contract, how about we hold a celebration party?"
Wesley easily consented to it, "Of course."
Alexander nodded seriously, "Good. Since Mr. Morris is being so agreeable, I'll give you a surprise at the party."
The other end asked on pure instinct, "What surprise?"
Alexander gave a slight smile, "If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise anymore, will it?"
"Alright, I understand."
Then Wesley returned to the topic he cared about most, "When does Mr. Sinclair plan to sign the contract with Washington Tech?"
"As I said earlier, within three days. I'll contact Mr. Morris once the contract is drafted."
"Good, I'll wait for your news, Mr. Sinclair, and for the surprise you're preparing for me at the celebration party."
Alexander's lips curved slightly, "No problem."
The other end said, "Since we've covered everything we needed to discuss, Mr. Sinclair, I won't take up more of your time. Goodbye."
Alexander agreed and hung up.
At the same time, Lila drove the car into the Sinclair Group's underground parking garage.
After driving every day for this period, her driving skills had improved a lot. She was now able to park the car by herself without needing Alexander's help.
After parking, Lila looked at Alexander, who was sitting in the passenger seat without moving, "Boss, we're here."
He acknowledged and got out of the car.
She also got out, and they walked together toward the elevator.
Once in the elevator, Lila belatedly remembered that Alexander had mentioned giving Wesley a surprise during the phone call.
What surprise could he give Wesley?
Feeling suspicious, she couldn't help but glance at him.
But Alexander seemed to be watching her constantly - she had only looked at him once and was caught red-handed!
Alexander raised an eyebrow slightly, "What are you looking at?"
Lila replied without thinking, "Nothing."
He snorted coldly, stepped forward to stand directly in front of her, and looked down at her, "Why are you so obsessed with my looks, hmm?"
Lila immediately looked surprised, "What did you say? I'm obsessed with your looks?"
Alexander didn't answer but asked instead, "Staring at me - isn't that because you like how I look?"
"I was just thinking about something."
"Really? What problem requires you to look at me while you think?"
Just as Lila was about to speak, he made his own guess, "The problem of a man and woman lying in bed having sex?"
Her parted lips, froze in mid-air. She looked at him in disbelief, her eyebrows rapidly furrowing, "Boss, what the hell has gotten into you? Why is it all about sex, making love, men and women - don't you possess any healthy thoughts? Have you forgotten what you said to me on the first day we got our marriage certificate?"
