Chapter 66 Ethan's POV : As we made our way to the conference room , Jameson was trying to make small talk . Though I paid him no mind , truth was I was there for one reason only , Clara Granger - Rouleau . I had no interest in JGP , honestly I found Jameson rather repulsive , but I acknowledged that as his daughter , poaching Clara would be close to impossible . So even if it meant partnering with this insufferable man , if it meant getting close to her , I'd endure it . After arriving , Jameson and Edward began setting up proposals and paperwork . Edward spoke first .

" Chairman Taylor , let me just say , on behalf of JGP we are so excited about the possibility of working with you ! Now- " Before Edward could finish , Jameson cut him off . " Yes , we're delighted to partner with ETP ! And I say this as the Chairman of one the most influential pharmaceutical companies in the world , I'm glad you had the resolve to come to us for help . " Arrogant . Was this jackass for real . He honestly thought I came to this company for him . I would need to end this meeting quickly before I lose my reserve .

I glanced over at Edward who was now looking at Jameson with nervous annoyance . " A - As I was saying Chairman , we've compose an entire proposal regarding our recent advancements with nano technology as well as medicinal breakthroughs that I think you would find very imp ...- I held my hand to cut Edward off , I wasn't trying to be rude to him , honestly I had no qualms with Edward . But I didn't want to waste anymore time if I didn't have too .

" VP Lawrence , forgive me for being curt but I actually have another meeting I'll be intending soon so I don't want to take too much of your time . While I'm sure your proposal is impressive , ETP has already begun nano treatment research as my father and brother runs one the largest tech companies in the world . " Both Jameson and Edward stared at me with confusion . I could tell Jameson's annoyance was rising but I couldn't care in the slightest . I knew their company's finances weren't in the greatest position . Granger had been spending his company's funds quicker than he was producing .

Over the past few years their medicinal production grew stagnant , and the talent was dwindling . Edward exhaled and began to speak . " Chairman , if you don't mind my asking , what exactly did you want this meeting for ? " 1/2 10:29 Thu , 4 Sept 0 Chapter 66 Fair question . " Actually VP , my interest is in Chairman Granger's daughter , 1- " Before I could finish , Jameson's eyes beamed with joy . 74 % " Well , why didn't you say so ! You didn't have to hold this meeting . If you were interested in my Sophie all you had to do- " " I'm sorry Chairman , who is Sophie ?

" Jameson looked at me with confusion . For some reason he thought I was referring to his idiot daughter Sophie . I'd done my research on the other Granger daughter , I'm not sure what the spell was she'd cast on her father , but there was nothing special about her at all . She was a lackluster student at best that clearly only got into the schools she went to because of her father's connections . " Who's Sophie ? She's my daughter . How could you be interested in her and not know her name ? " I could see Edward slightly roll his eyes in annoyance ; we clearly were on the same page .

Clearly his throat , he began to speak . " Um , Jameson I think the Chairman is referring to your other daughter , Clara . " Jameson shot Edward hard glare . " Why on earth would he be interested in her ! " His voice raised higher than a normal tone . Clearly his held a disdain for her , though I wasn't sure why , I had my speculations . Looking over at my assistant Owen, I gave the signal it was time to leave . Clearly I would have to think of another way to work with Clara . Standing up , I could see panic rising in both Jameson and Edward's eyes . Edward held his hand up .

" Wait a second Chairman Tyler ! If you're interested in working with Clara , you made the right decision coming here , " Chapter Comments 2 POST COMMENT NOW
