Chapter 681 Utilization
"Got it," Charles reluctantly agreed with Donovan.
Hearing this, Donovan casually took out a cigarette.
However, after Chloe glanced at him, he put the cigarette back.
Chloe was very displeased with him, thinking, 'If you had this intention, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I might not have felt so completely deceived!'
Charlotte's joy was evident. "Come on, since the contract isn't done yet, let's agree."
After muttering "little trick," Charles ultimately didn't argue with Charlotte.
Charlotte didn't know that Charles had already prepared the contract for Mountain UAV Company to win the bid. She thought Charles had intentionally said she wouldn't win the bid that day, and now he gave her such a big surprise. She couldn't help but feel closer to Charles, looking at him differently.
Their eyes were locked in a game of flirtatious pursuit.
Donovan called the driver to ask where they were.
The driver said Francis and Jake were playing by the creek and asked if they should come over or if Donovan should go to them.
Donovan said they would go over.
On the way, Charles and Charlotte were at the back, not saying much, but Charlotte kept looking at Charles with a girlish gaze, and Charles wasn't in a great mood.
Donovan glanced back at Charles while Chloe was thinking about the kids.
When they got to the water, the adults stood by the edge chatting, while the two kids played in the distance.
"Not happy?" Donovan found a chance to talk to Charles alone.
"Donovan, did you know about Charlotte's donation earlier?" Charles asked, glancing at Charlotte, who was chatting with Chloe.
"More or less. Did you know the CEO of Mountain UAV Company keeps a mistress?" Donovan asked Charles.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Telling you earlier wouldn't have made you feel it as deeply. Keeping a mistress is very risky. If they fall out, the mistress might expose it, causing the company's value to drop. Partnering with such a company is dangerous. It's better to choose a stable company. Charlotte's donation to the school, without letting anyone know, is a big plus. After partnering, we can use this to our advantage, promoting their company and enhancing our reputation," Donovan explained.
"Use?" Charles caught the word Donovan just said.
"Isn't it using? It's good for her and for us, so why not use it?" Donovan asked matter-of-factly.
"Alright. Have you investigated the CEO of Mountain UAV Company keeping a mistress?" Charles thought: Donovan knows everything.
"Investigated. I know everything. You think I partnered with Charlotte just for you?" Donovan sneered at Charles, as if saying, "Don't be so self-centered."
"Well, since you know everything, why did you leave it to me?"
"I thought you would choose her. But you didn't. Don't you think it's pretty stupid to avoid choosing the person you have feelings for just to avoid gossip?" Donovan asked Charles.
Charles was speechless.
Originally, Charles thought he was quite capable!
Now, after what Donovan said, he felt he was far from it. Charles was instantly hit hard, but through this, he seemed to see that Charlotte had a heart of gold.
She was talking to Chloe, but often turned back to look at Charles.
Just as the group was quiet, two people suddenly walked over from a distance.
