"Who exactly are you? he asked in an almost thin voice. "Alicia Crystals your grace. Can we now discuss business now" she asked returning back to her polite smile."Wait did you just say, your name is Alicia CRYSTALS?" he emphasized the crystals because he was shocked. He actually tried to poach her from her family business. Prince was lost in thoughts before suddenly remembering that the chairman of Crystal corporations had no child to begin with.
Alicia seeing the confused look on his face decided to help him out "I am adopted, so you are right grandpa is just my relative by paper. But that doesn"t mean I have any plans of leaving the company to come to yours. Moreover, even if I wanted to leave Crystal corporations which I don"t, I sure wouldn"t come to your company" she said all this with a look of seriousness.
"Why?" he asked somewhat helpless. "I"d rather work in a place where the employees knew who their employer was. At least that way I can face off anyone confidently", she shrugged.
Prince was deeply annoyed but he did not know who he should be mad at Alicia or himself. It is not his wish to hide the fact he is the founder of Dragon Totem, but for the sake of fairness in the business world, he had to do so. If people knew he owned Dragon Totem, they would disturb his peace by looking for backdoors.
Putting his thoughts aside he asked "Why did you take over Freedom Entertainment, as far as I know, Crystal corporations is not in the entertainment industry" "Well now it is" she gave a curt answer almost robotic.
She had no intention of telling him the truth anyway. Prince stared at her for sometimes and after seeing she was not going to give him any other explanation he decided to move on to the Wilmot Point project.
"I can give the project to you but on one condition" Alicia looked at him with expectations when he started but got annoyed at the end. "We will just pay you the money you used for the bidding" she gave a perfunctory reply.
They had a board meeting a day ago to discuss the issue of the Wilmot Point project and they all agreed it was best to return the money Dragon Totem had paid for the project.
Prince laughed dryly, "In case you haven"t noticed, I am not in need of any money" "Fine, so what do you want?" she asked grimly "Crystal corporations" he stated matter of fact.
Hearing this Alicia was shaken to her core. "or you could come work for me" he added looking at all the facial expressions that pa.s.sed through before she returned to her serious look. He was very satisfied with himself
"You can think about it if you want. The choice is yours" Prince decided to continue when he noticed no reaction from her. Alicia smiled sweetly "How about I give you an answer right now" he was surprised but folded his arms anyway.
Alicia snorted "Only in your dreams would any of those two happen. Family may not matter to you but it does to me and I was wondering why you two were so different, but now I have got an answer"
"You know my sister?" he was getting more and more interested in the woman across from him.
"Yes, and she is humane unlike someone else I know" she stood up slowly from her chair. Turned around and headed to the door, she paused in her steps and said without turning to look at him "I was worried about the jerk that I dealt with in the meeting room just now instead of worrying about you, you really are a sc.u.m to this earth" with that she made her way to the door and opened it with a loud bang.
Prince had been stunned earlier by her words but hearing the door being banged he woke up from his trance. *Ring Ring Ring* his cellphone rang. Looking and the caller he couldn"t help but murmur "speak of the devil"
