Chapter 357: Purchase and Sale Contract

-Mr. Cantero -the clerk in front of him politely stepped aside and greeted Noe.

With a solemn expression, Noe nodded without turning away.

He took a large step toward his office and sat down after a sigh. Soon after, the assistant pushed open the door and asked in a soft voice:

-Mr. Cantero, you wanted to see me?

-Does the contract have an electronic file? -Noe asked, looking at his assistant.

The assistant was a little hesitant, curious to know what Noe wanted from the electronic file.

Is it possible that he hadn't seen Mariana even though she took a break today?

-Mr. Cantero, haven't you seen Miss Ortiz? -the assistant dared to speak up and ask. Now that public opinion was boiling, it was normal that he could not call Mariana. Maybe everywhere Mariana was, there were reporters around.

It was better to stay away from women like that in such critical moments.

-Are there or not? -Noe asked impatiently, somewhat displeased by his assistant's question. That should not be something for an assistant to interfere with.

Seeing that Noe was in a bad mood, the assistant hastened to nod.

-Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Send a copy to my e-mail immediately.

Noe looked down at his computer, not having time to pay attention to his assistant. He was so used to getting along with the staff under him that these people spoke calmly to him.

This was the kind of management model Noe wanted.

But when he's in a bad mood, he wasn't so funny.

Ding Dong!

The email appeared in the lower right corner of the computer, and Noe opened the contract while taking the phone in his hand with some hesitation. It was not possible to sign the contract in person, so it would be better to do it online.

Just as Noe was thinking about how to tell Mariana, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown phone number, and Noe was a little distracted.

He could vaguely guess what kind of person was calling him.

After a moment of concentration, Noe picked up the phone.

-Hello?

-Hello, this is Leopoldo," Leopoldo's tone was subdued and cold.

Obviously, Noe was not surprised by such a confrontation. He showed the attitude of someone who had been waiting for this call for a long time, and there was no change in his demeanor.

-Hello, Señor Durán," Noe's eyes were steady as he greeted politely.

Leopoldo shook the glass in his hand and issued a direct invitation.

-May I ask if Mr. Cantero has time?

-Mr. Durán's generosity is a hard thing to come by, so naturally I wouldn't refuse," Noe responded politely to the other party's invitation, and was curious to know what kind of business Leopoldo was looking for. Was it about Mariana or something else?

Counting on him, Noe thought Leopoldo would not be interested in talking to himself. But if it was about Mariana, then Leopoldo, no matter how busy he was, would have that time to talk to him.

-I'll see you later," Leopoldo strangely disconnected the call and got up immediately.

He put on his coat and went out the door.

Mariana was in the guest room and could clearly hear the sound of Leopoldo's room closing. She thought Leopoldo was going to come to her room to look for her, and she felt expectant and a little scared at the same time.

It was good that he had come to see her, but what did they both have to say?

-Señor Durán," the butler saw Leopoldo coming down the stairs and greeted him cautiously.

Leopoldo nodded and lowered his voice to ask:

-Where is he?

-In the guest room," the butler lowered his head and spoke cautiously. If Mariana had taken the initiative to go to the guest room, it was only because the two had quarreled and there was no other exception. At times like this, it was even more important not to ask too many questions.

After learning that Mariana was in the guest room, Leopoldo took a big step forward and left without looking back.

-Señor Durán.

After seeing Leopoldo, Noe got up busily and acted extremely calm. The two hadn't crossed paths much, so there was nothing Noe couldn't blurt out when he met Leopoldo.

With a serious look on his face, Leopoldo pushed the stool away and sat down directly across from Noe.

Seeing the situation, the waiter picked up the menu and handed it to Leopoldo.

-I don't need it.

The menu was immediately rejected before it reached the man's hand. With a bit of wariness, Noe's gaze shifted to Leopoldo's.

Would they do nothing but talk?

There seemed to be nothing good about Leopoldo calling him.

-Señor Durán, why did you ask me out?

Leopoldo stared at the other party, wanting to get straight to the point. He saw no point in beating around the bush.

It was better for two great men to speak honestly.

-You have a modeling project on your hands, don't you? -Leopoldo looked at the other man, his eyes sharp.

He had come just for the project. As for Noe's intention towards Mariana, even if Leopoldo didn't ask, they both knew it perfectly well. In this matter, Leopoldo wanted to be generous.

Noe did not even deserve to be seen by Leopoldo.

-Yes," Noe did not hide anything and admitted it openly.

As for what Leopoldo wanted to do, Noe still didn't know. The project was in his hands, and even if Leopoldo knew, it would be meaningless. As soon as Mariana signed, everything would be a foregone conclusion.

-Sell it to me," Leopoldo was forceful in his demand.

He turned to Noe to buy the project.

-Señor Durán, what do you mean by that? -Noe was a bit confused, unable to understand what Leopoldo meant.

Even if he sold the project to Leopoldo, what would it mean for him? He unilaterally announced the termination of his contract with Mariana, and at this point, he wanted to cut the project she had her eye on. If you looked at it from this perspective, Leopoldo was really despicable.

-It was not his place to ask questions about what was being done.

Leopoldo was going to buy the project and see it through.

Noe, as the seller, only had to make an offer.

-It's not for sale.

Noe didn't even think about it and turned Leopoldo down directly. He had already promised Mariana that he would partner with her to create the cover of this issue and promote it.

What's the point of selling a contract that's already decided?

-You can't not sell it," Leopoldo looked at him with a subdued gesture.

It seemed that it was not up to Noe to decide whether or not to sell the project.

-Mr. Durán, don't intimidate people too much," Noe stared at the man and spoke viciously.

Although Leopoldo was a business tycoon, that didn't mean Noe was afraid of him. Going around meddling in other people's business was something Leopoldo should not do.

-I'll pay a high price for him, so you can make a solid profit," Leopoldo thought for a moment and came out with a new offer.

As long as he could get Noe to contribute to the project, he would have given up a lot of favors already. It only remained to be seen whether Noe himself had the sense to accept such a big proposal or not. -It's not for sale," Noe refused coldly, without hesitation.

He would not budge for any price offered.

-I'm sorry then.

Leopoldo had expected that attitude from Noe and was not surprised. He had seen the project, and apart from Mariana, who was available to collaborate, it was basically a stretch to replace other models.
