Brian was shocked. What a way to respond to a kind invitation!
"Mr. William, is there anything else? If not, I would like to go back to sleep," Diana said coolly.
"Miss Anderson, hold on. Not so fast."
"What do you want to say?"
"The activity is really important for the company. If you come, I'll give you a few extra percent of the profits for the period before we cancel the contract."
Brian was tempting her out. He was sure that if Diana came with him, he could change her mind.
This gave Diana a real pause for thought. A few extra percentage points could mean several million more in profits!
Finally, Diana promised that she would go.
"Great. I will pick you up later," Brian chirped.
The assistant, who stood beside Brian, was not happy about his attitude towards Diana.
