Having an Ax to Grind
Seeing how the man put down the documents, Wanda got somewhat impatient. She asked, “What do
you think? Would you agree to the collaboration?”
Nicholas looked her straight in the eye. “I can collaborate with you, but I have two conditions.”
Wanda was delighted. “Tell me about your conditions.”
Nicholas made his demands right away without the slightest hesitation. “I hope you’ll provide a more
complete execution plan for these projects. Also, I hope that the Sawyer Group can hold the leading
position in our collaboration.”
At first, he thought Wanda would hesitate for a moment. After all, his second condition was somewhat
harsh. This was because it meant that if any disagreement were to occur during their collaboration,
Party B would have to give priority to Party A’s demands—a condition that ordinary companies wouldn’t
agree to.
To his surprise, Wanda agreed to it without thinking. “I have no problem with it. It’ll save me a lot of
trouble if the Sawyer Group takes the leading position.”

Nicholas narrowed his eyes. “Miss Muller, aren’t you gonna think about it again?”
“No, it’s not necessary. I have faith in you and the Sawyer Group,” Wanda replied, expressing her
wholehearted confidence in him. Of course, she had an ax to grind. By letting the Sawyer Group take
the leading position in the project, she’d do the company a special favor. This would also cause her
company to be backed by the Sawyer Group, which was better for her company’s future growth.
The two then talked about the details of their collaboration, during which time Wanda jotted down the
main points.
A while later, Edward came to report on his work; there was a meeting that Nicholas had to preside at.
Being a sensible person, Wanda took her leave, saying, “That’s all for today. I’ll come again tomorrow
to discuss the follow-up details with you.”
For the next two days, Nicholas busied himself with this matter, which caused him to spend significantly
less time talking to Tessa over the phone.
Knowing that he was busy, Tessa was very understanding, but she was worried about his health. After
all, this guy would always forget to eat and sleep whenever he got busy. Seeing that he seemed to
have lost some weight over the past few days, she became even more worried.
On this day, she pondered for a moment after ending her phone conversation with Nicholas. Then, she
called Edward, saying, “Mr. Jackson, I have a favor to ask of you.”
Edward found it strange, but he agreed, saying, “Please tell me about it, Miss Tessa.”
“I hope you can help me watch Nicholas’ diet and remind him to eat regular meals these days.”
“I got it. I’ll remind President Sawyer on time,” Edward promised with a nod. Inwardly, he was
somewhat envious of Nicholas for having Tessa to care about him. “Seems like I should get myself a
girlfriend to care about me,” he mumbled to himself before burying himself in his work soon afterward.
It was noon. Inside the president’s office, Wanda was discussing with Nicholas while holding the newly
revised proposal. Seeing the good-looking man beside her, she couldn’t help but give an inward sigh.
Men are even more charming and handsome at work indeed, she thought. In particular, she had been
able to spend several hours with Nicholas every day over the past few days, which made her feel
incredibly sweet. Although they only talked about work when they were together, they’d never been
alone like this before. Moreover, she believed that if this went on, she’d definitely be able to replace
Tessa and stay by his side.
Just when she was imagining her future with Nicholas, Edward knocked on the door and came in with a
boxed lunch in his hand.
At the sight of the scene, Nicholas asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Miss Tessa asked me to urge you to eat on time,” Edward replied honestly without hiding anything.
When Nicholas heard this, his lips curled into a gentle smile.
On the other hand, Wanda’s expression froze somewhat. Why is Tessa still sticking around like a ghost
now that she’s left? She gnashed her teeth inwardly, but her face gave nothing away. She asked with a
smile, “Did you prepare my lunch then, Mr. Jackson?”
“I’m sorry, Miss Muller, but I didn’t know you’d stay, so I only prepared lunch for President Sawyer.”
“It’s okay. I’ll order takeout later.”
