[Chapter 226]
Springfield.
David was about to head to the place where he was meeting the owner of the office building.
However, they said David had to go alone.
David was going to take Pearl with him because they knew each other! Acquaintances made things easier! However, they had made this specific request.
'Alright! I'll go alone then.'
When they arrived at the appointed place, David explained his purpose and went to a private room the waiter led him to.
After entering the private room, the waiter asked him to wait and left.
David waited alone in the private room.
Not long after, the private room door was opened. David looked up but froze.
It was Pearl's college classmate and best friend-Rhonda.
Rhonda wore a black female business suit with a plunging deep-v neckline, a short skirt, and black silk stockings to show off her figure.
David considered himself a man of great self-control, but he could not help looking a little longer.
Rhonda came in and sat across from David, looking at him without speaking.
"Miss Rogers, I didn't expect to see you!" David said, somewhat surprised.
"What's the matter? Are you that surprised, Mr. Lidell?" Rhonda replied with a smile.
"Quite surprised indeed! I don't think Miss Pearl knows who you are, does she? Or you wouldn't have asked me to come alone!"
"Pearly doesn't know, but it's not that I don't want to tell her. It's just that I don't want her to overthink it. I don't want to lose her as a friend."
"Surely it doesn't matter?"
"Pearly might not seem fine, but she has a lot of pride, so I'm doing this as a precaution."
"Alright! Since you don't want Miss Pearl to know, I won't tell her. But we're not going to talk about that today. I'm mainly interested in buying your office building. Are you selling it?" asked David.
"You gotta answer a question first!" Said Rhonda.
"What question?"
"Tell me how you got Clinton to help you destroy the Daniels family. I'm curious!"
David eventually bought the building for fifteen billion dollars.
David did not think much about the price. It was mainly because he had so much money that he did not care whether he made or lost money on the deal.
Lavish points were what he really needed.
However, according to the assessment Pearl's team gave him-even spending eighteen billion dollars on the building was worth it.
It confused David.
Why did Rhonda, as a business person, give him such a huge discount?
Why did she not just ask for twenty billion dollars?
He would be able to get 50 more lavish points!
Rhonda would be furious if he knew what he thought. She gave him such a good deal, yet David was ungrateful.
She had never seen such a person who found it troubling to have so much money to spend!
Rhonda did not seem to be here to do business with him today. She was either explicitly or implicitly asking about his background and ties to Clinton.
On the other hand, David just told her that he was one of the core members of SCC and shrugged off the rest.
