Chapter 218
“Opinions? Sure, there are always some, but they won’t make a huge impact, Mr. Palmer said. “The company has a great project, and naturally, the other shareholders want to put their people in charge. But Mr. Henderson rarely gets involved in these matters personally. You can’t expect people to have issues just because he finally arranged for his team to take on some of the work, right? Besides, the Hawkins family and the Spencer family are quite capable and play by the rules, so overall, it won’t affect much.”
Dalton stopped for a moment, then said, “I mean it. I hope you can let go of personal issues for the good of your company.”
Mr. Palmer nodded, “Sure, sure.”
After Mr. Palmer left, Stewart turned to Charlene and said, “Let’s head inside.”
Charlene nodded, “Alright.”
After having dinner and returning to the office, they were informed that Dalton had arrived.
Charlene and Stewart had no intention of meeting him.
Dalton didn’t leave, and when Charlene clocked out and headed to the parking lot, he called after her, “Ms. Ross.”
Charlene turned around, her voice cold, “Mr. Ramirez, what do you need?”
Dalton looked at her earnestly, “We need to talk.”
Charlene raised an eyebrow, “Talk, or point fingers at me?”
Dalton stopped for a moment, then said, “I mean it. I hope you can let go of personal issues for the good of your company.” Charlene was almost amused.
She replied, “I thought those words should be coming from me to you, Mr. Ramirez.”
It was clearly him who had let personal feelings about Vesta cloud their negotiations.
Yet somehow, in his mind, she was the one abusing power and being unreasonable. With that thought, she ignored him, got into her car, and drove away.
Dalton’s expression darkened.
Just then, his phone rang. After a short conversation, he also got into his car and left.
Half an hour later, when he entered the private room, Kelvin Scott and York were already there.
Seeing Dalton’s sour expression, Kelvin asked, “Didn’t go well, huh?”
Dalton had been to PrimeStar a couple of times over the past few days.
Stewart had consistently refused to meet him.
They say the one who ties the knot must untie it.
That’s why Dalton sought out Charlene, hoping to talk things over.
Reflecting on Charlene’s unwillingness to listen, Dalton shook his head.
“If Stewart’s not budging and Ms. Ross won’t either, then snagging the PrimeStar project seems pretty unlikely,” Kelvin observed, noting Dalton’s frustration. “But hey, if you can’t get it, you can’t get it. There are plenty of profitable projects out there; it doesn’t have to be PrimeStar.”
Dalton shook his head, “I’ve looked into the PrimeStar project. I’m genuinely interested in it.”
So, even without Abelard Ramirez’s suggestion, once Dalton looked into the project, he wanted in.
“Alright then,” Kelvin said, “maybe try another angle?”
At this, Kelvin glanced at York and said, “Hey, York, didn’t you two have a good chat last time you danced? She seemed to have a good attitude towards you. Maybe you could mediate between them and soften things up?” York set down his cup of coffee and said, “I don’t know her well enough for that.”
