Chapter 1127 Her Ways Are Unique
Thomas' words were straightforward. The meaning hidden behind his words was too obvious.
Joseph was right when he had told her that Thomas liked women a lot.
She showed her smile and refused him, "If you go to my room, my boyfriend will definitely be angry. He is a jealous man."
Waverly pushed his hand away and pressed the button for the elevator, "I reserved a private room in the restaurant. We can have a good chat later."
"You just divorced Bellamy, yet you already have a boyfriend? I heard from my friend that Bellamy was also in Mexiland today."
"We're divorced, so I should look for a boyfriend. Should I be alone then?" Waverly said with a smile.
The look in Thomas's eyes became even more perplexed, "Is your boyfriend Lenold, or a new guy? How about I become your boyfriend instead?"
Waverly despised men who acted like Thomas. She was utterly disgusted with him.
Whoever married him would be quite unfortunate.
"Thomas, you are handsome and strong, dignified and graceful and you emanate an exceptional aura. There are many women who admire you, so I don't want to fight with them over you. I can't win and I'll even be tired out," Waverly refused.
Her cell phone rang.
It was a text message from Boris.
"Room 308."
When the elevator arrived, Waverly entered the elevator and pressed the third floor.
She looked at Thomas' gaze, which was too perverted.
It sent a shiver down her spine.
She turned around defensively and said with a smile, "I brought you a bottle of wine. You can try it later. If you manage to guess which brand it is, I'll satisfy one of your wishes. If you can't, you must fulfill one of my wishes instead. What do you think?"
He was overjoyed. After all, he was familiar with all branded wines and could know the brand of one in one gulp. He looked at Waverly with even more desire in his eyes as he couldn't wait to swallow her whole. He said, "Deal."
With a ding, the elevator's bell went off.
Waverly said to the waiter, "Room 308."
The waiter led the way. After a while, they arrived at Room 308.
There was a pot of red wine, two wine glasses, foie gras, salad and two freshly-grilled steaks on the table.
Waverly walked over, poured a glass of wine for Thomas and handed it to him.
Thomas confidently tasted the wine, "It tastes a bit like 1983's Lafite Rothschild, but this wine is much richer than that. It tastes more like 1960's wine. Is this red wine from 1960?"
He frowned as he couldn't figure out which brand it was. He took another sip and said, "Remy Martin? No, this can't be. Is this a limited edition edition from Domaine Romanee Conti?"
Waverly smiled and shook her head, "No, it isn't."
"No?" Thomas couldn't believe it. He took another sip and wasn't in a rush to swallow it. He slowly tasted it in his mouth for a minute before swallowing it down. However, he still could not figure out the brand, "What is it?"
"Is it good?" Waverly asked.
"It's quite decent. I thought it was Romanee Conti's treasured wine. It's the best red wine I've ever drunk so far," Thomas savored the good wine.
After that, he poured himself another glass.
"I prepared something nice to drink so you'll have a good impression of me. By doing so, you'll end up looking forward to our next meeting more," Waverly said. She didn't make up a story like what Boris had told her to do.
If one day, Thomas found out about the wine, he would feel that she was a fake and insincere. As such, it would be better to keep him guessing.
"We haven't even separated yet, but I've already started to look forward to our next meeting," Thomas said, raising his glass and draining it in one gulp.
Waverly realized that he really liked wine.
"I've come here this time to negotiate about a cooperation between us. Things are rather complicated," Waverly went straight to the point.
"Okay. Go ahead and speak."
"I want to reduce the import price of oil by ten percent within a year. As an exchange, I will buy one ton of silver every month with the Mccarthy family's name. I will buy silver at the price of 16.8 dollars per ounce.
After thinking for a while, Thomas put down his glass and said, "We don't particularly lack the profits silver will bring us, so why do we have to reduce the price by ten percent for nothing?"
"In our first year of cooperation, I will send you a bottle of this wine into your hands every month. In addition, I will give you the ten percent of the reduced oil price into your bank account in Switchland," Waverly negotiated.
"I can't record that in the logbooks."
"What if my price increases to seventeen dollars per ounce? Your country is one of the top ones in terms of the exportation of silver. If I give you this price, you can raise the price of silver in the international market. It's not a loss for your country at all. You can withdraw your money and also appease those who oppose you. Moreover, the Mccarthy family will announce this news. Once our cooperation is announced, the price of silver will skyrocket. You will earn far more than what you are earning now."
Thomas frowned and asked, "What's in it for you?"
"My purpose is to use the money of the Mccarthy family to strengthen my position," Waverly said bluntly.
"I need to go back and think things over carefully. I'll give you an answer in a few days," said Thomas craftily.
Waverly smiled. Since she wanted to negotiate with an old fox, she couldn't be led by the nose by him.
"I'll leave the day after tomorrow. If our cooperation doesn't pull through, I'll have to find a country that is willing to cooperate. This matter is quite urgent for me, so I'm willing to give up a lot of my interests. I've also stopped caring about the cost," Waverly said as she poured some wine for Thomas.
Thomas looked at Waverly's lips and licked his own, "It's not impossible for us to cooperate. I've always doted on a woman that belongs to me. If tonight, your boyfriend is still around, I can arrange a place for us. I promise that no one will be able to find us there."
Waverly smiled, "Are you sure that no one will find us? Someone just sent me a video today and the main character of the video just happened to be you. I was curious about how you took this video. Aren't you afraid of being exposed? I immediately asked my friend to delete it."
The expression on Thomas's face instantly changed, "What video?"
"I'm too embarrassed to look at it any longer. It seemed that you and a celebrity were in it. She is that woman who has acted in a lot of movies and was praised as one of the most beautiful celebrities in the world. I'll ask my friend whether he deleted it or not. If not, I'll ask him to send it again."
"What do you mean by this?" Thomas's tone became sharp.
Waverly looked at Thomas innocently, "Hmm?"
"You're threatening me," Thomas said straightforwardly.
"We are all in the same boat. Even if we don't cooperate, our friendship still stands, so I won't hold a grudge. If we cooperate, there will be a lot of things that we can do together in the future. I sincerely want to be friends with you, so why would I threaten you? If I wanted to threaten you, I would've brought the video over instead of letting my friend delete it immediately. It's not until you talked about this topic that I remembered the video," Waverly said calmly.
Thomas was skeptical as he questioned, "Are you really not threatening me?"
"Do you think I'm threatening you? On the contrary, due to the fact that I might be cooperating with you in the future, I would like you to stay on your side for a long time. So, we have to be careful. If my friend can obtain such a video, so can others."
