Chapter 680 He Hid So Deeply
Donovan glanced at Charles and said, "Is there someone who thinks the same way I do?"
At this moment, Charles felt that Donovan must have intentionally brought him here, but he still couldn't figure out what Donovan's plan was.
When they entered the principal's office, the person who had been sitting there stood up.
Charles was stunned; it was Charlotte.
Chloe was also quite surprised.
Only Donovan seemed unsurprised.
Charles looked at Donovan, his expression asking, 'Did you call her here?'
But Donovan's eyes were inscrutable, revealing neither a yes nor a no.
Charlotte was equally shocked to see Charles, Donovan, and Chloe. "What are you all doing here?"
"We wanted to donate to the school, so naturally, we came," Donovan said as he walked over and sat in a chair opposite the principal. Charles followed suit.
Seeing Charlotte again made Charles feel somewhat awkward, like two people who had been in a long-term relationship and then had a falling out, meeting again.
Charlotte was holding a check. Without even looking, Donovan knew that Charlotte had been making regular donations to this school, each time giving a hundred thousand dollars since her college days. Compared to Donovan's five-million-dollar donation this time, it wasn't much, but it was her heartfelt contribution.
Charlotte didn't dare to look at Charles. After all, he had rejected her last time, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
"Are you here to donate, too?" Charles asked her.
"Yes, but it's not much, nothing compared to New East Group," Charlotte said, hiding the check behind her. She had just arrived and was about to write the check when the principal received a call from the security guard saying someone had arrived. The principal went out to greet the guests, leaving Charlotte in the office to write the check.
"For an individual, a hundred thousand dollars is a lot. Why hide it?" Donovan said.
Charlotte widened her eyes in surprise. "Mr. Blake, how did you know? Are you a prophet?"
"Not really, I just did some research on the companies bidding for my projects," Donovan said with a confident smile.
Charlotte felt a bit giddy. From Donovan's words, it seemed he had known about her donations to the school for a long time and had come specifically to see her. Did this mean her bid might be successful?
Chloe also stared intently at Donovan. She had thought Donovan was just accompanying her to donate to the children, but it turned out he had other intentions. She hadn't seen through him at all.
Donovan had hidden his intentions well!
Chloe suddenly felt deceived.
Charles felt the same way, but he had always known that Donovan was perceptive. On the surface, he said he was trying to matchmake Charles, but Donovan knew everything. He probably brought Charles here today to see what kind of person Charlotte was. If someone like her wasn't worthy of winning the bid, then who would be?
Donovan signed the five-million-dollar donation contract.
After signing the contract, the four of them walked out of the school.
Since their last parting at Riverside Restaurant, Charlotte had been somewhat angry. She had confessed to Charles in vain and felt that with his attitude, her company had little chance of winning the bid. But today, there seemed to be a turning point.
Seeing Donovan also make a donation today, she felt even more hopeful. Instinctively, she grabbed Charles's sleeve and asked, "Mr. Wilson, did I win the bid or not?"
Charles glanced at Donovan's eyes.
It seemed that Donovan was determined to let Charlotte win the bid.
