What exactly does Amberpeak Corporation want Rhodes Corporation to produce? Are we talking about health supplements, therapeutic products, or disease treatments ? Ruby shook her head, smiling as if Kingsleys question were naive.
None of those, Mr. Baldwin
The products you mentioned are common in the pharmaceutical market, and Amberpeak Corporation doesnt lack any of them.
We need Rhodes Corporation to manufacture a specialized pill.
The specific ingredients and functions are detailed in the documents we provided earlier.
If you have concerns, you can take a closer look at those
Kingsley smiled calmly.
Alright, one final question.
Ruby, clearly irritated, snapped, Mr. Baldwin, enough is enough.
You just said the last question was your final one.
Kingsley chuckled, unfazed.
It just popped into my head, Ms. Dickinson
No need to get so tense this one isnt about the collaboration.
Just casual chit chat.
Ruby huffed
Tense? Whos tense? You’re quite the joker, Mr. Baldwin
Ask your question I have other matters to attend to
Rhodes Corporation isnt the only company knocking on Amberpeaks door.
Kingsleys smile took on a sharper edge.
I heard from Mr. MacAfee earlier that the two of you discussed the collaboration thoroughly and worked very hard, even late into the evening
Is that correct? Ruby froze for a moment, then nodded.
Yes, Mr. MacAfee is very dedicated.
We had a detailed conversation yesterday and talked until around nine in the evening.
Troy, clearly proud of himself, chimed in, It was exhausting, but for Rhodes Corporation, its my duty. Mr. Baldwin, as someone who lives a carefree life of wealth and leisure, wouldnt understand the dedication and effort this kind of work requires
While he highlighted his sacrifices, Troy could not resist sneaking in a jab at Kingsleys supposed lack of professionalism
Kingsley, still grinning, said, Oh, I see.
Ms. Dickinson and Mr. MacAfee really did work hard and for quite some time
He glanced at Lauren and added, Coincidentally, Ms. Rhodes and I happened to witness just how hard the two of you were working yesterday.
Lauren caught on immediately and smiled sweetly.
Exactly, Mr. Baldwin
Yesterday, we were standing outside the Stanton Hotel and saw Mr. MacAfee and Ms. Dickinson leaving together.
They certainly seemed to be putting in a lot of effort.
In fact, Lauren continued, her tone turning mischievous, from the way they were chatting and laughing, one could guess their negotiation likely took place in one of the hotels more… intimate king-sized suites.
It must have been quite the scene business discussions so intense they practically brought the house down! Honestly, Ive never seen such a unique way of closing deals.
Truly, Ms. Dickinson and Mr. MacAfee are exceptional in their approach to business on a completely different level than the rest of us. The two played off each other so seamlessly that the rooms atmosphere grew increasingly tense and awkward
Troys face turned beet red, a mix of embarrassment and anger.
He stammered, W Wait, how did you know we went to the Stan- He cut himself off, realizing he had almost given himself away
Rubys face twisted in a mortified grimace.
She gritted her teeth and said, Yesterday, Mr. MacAfee and I simply passed by the Stanton Hotel.
Mr. Baldwin and Ms. Rhodes must have misunderstood! Kingsley raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
A misunderstanding? You’re probably right.
No, wait maybe I’m just blind.
He continued with a smirk
Because what I saw last night was Mr. MacAfee holding Ms. Dickinson around the waist as the two left the hotel, laughing, flushed, and looking thoroughly entertained
But now that youve cleared it up, I must have been seeing things.
I’ll make an appointment to have my eyes checked maybe theres something wrong with them! The other executives squirmed uncomfortably in their seats, unsure how to respond
Kingsleys words had taken the room to a strange and unsettling place.
They wanted to intervene but did not dare.
This was not just a pointed jab at Troy and Ruby it was a full blown expos? wrapped in sarcasm.
Even if Troy and Ruby had finalized their deal in a hotel room, there was no formal rule against it.
Some executives even envied Troy.
After all, Rubys curvaceous figure was jaw dropping her hourglass shape and striking features made her a showstopper.
For many, she was impossible to ignore.
Michael cut through the growing tension with a sharp tone. Thats enough.
Todays meeting is over.
What matters to me is your ability to do your job and make money for the company.
Your personal lives and relationships are of no interest to me as CEO
He started to walk away but paused after a few steps, gesturing for Troy.
Mr. MacAfee, come to my office.
I’d like to clarify a few details about the collaboration with you.
Troy smirked, glancing at Kingsley with a look of triumph.
The unspoken message was clear
So what if you caught me fooling around with Ruby? You can’t touch me if the CEO has my back.
Ruby stood to leave, but as she passed Lauren, she leaned in with a cold smile.
Ms. Rhodes, I havent forgotten my grudge against you.
Be careful not to make a mistake youll regret for the rest of your life.
Lauren shot back without missing a beat.
don’t worry, Ms. Dickinson.
I’d be happy to send you back for another helping of prison meals on the house.
Rubys smile turned icy as she clicked away in her high heels, leaving the meeting room.
The rest of the executives quickly followed suit, leaving only Kingsley and Lauren behind.
Laurens face darkened as she muttered, Ruby is a master manipulator.
Her specialty is seduction using her body to achieve her shady goals.
She clenched her fists
Troy must have fallen for her act.
Hes probably completely under her spell now.
And as for that Amberpeak Corporation deal? The more I think about it, the more it screams fraud Kingsleys expression remained calm.
Its not just a fraud
Its a complete fabrication not even a shred of it is real.
Lauren looked at him in surprise.
Dr. Baldwin, what did you notice? She had suspicions about Ruby, but she could not make a strong case without concrete evidence.
Ruby had come prepared, even presenting what appeared to be authentic Amberpeak Corporation documents
Kingsley smiled lightly.
Do you remember the questions I asked Ruby earlier? Before Lauren could reply, Kingsley continued, She answered smoothly, as if she had everything under control.
But to someone with expertise like me it was obvious she was trying to cover something up.
Lauren chuckled, amused.
Dr. Baldwin, you’re incredible.
So, tell me how did you see through her ? Kingsley smirked.
First, I asked about the specifics of the collaboration.
She dodged the details and instead threw out a flashy number two billion.
