“Mr. Wright, rest assured, I have prepared the contract. As long as you come in person, our cooperation can be established.”

A gleam of light passes through Mr. Wright’s eyes. T. Rowe Price has been standing strong in the domestic market for many years, and more than half of the decoration teams need to source from them. If they can sign a contract with T. Rowe Price at a low price, it would indeed be a big profit for him.

“Alright, Mr. Walsh, I’ll be there in half an hour.”

Mr. Wright hung up the phone with a smile on his face, he then instructed his assistant to prepare his things. He grabbed his coat from the side before heading to the elevator.

Once he arrived downstairs he stood waiting for the assistant to bring the car around, however just as the assistant brought the car to a stop in-front of him, he heard a voice call out from behind him.

“Mr. Wright.”

Mr. Wright froze instantly and the smile on his face instantly disappears as he turned to look at Selena.

Selena still maintained her cold demeanor, giving a slight nod. “If Mr. Wright doesn’t answer the phone, I can only wait here and see if our previous contract still counts.”

Mr. Wright’s face instantly flashed full of embarrassment, he quickly reached out his hand to greet Selena. “Selena, you’re here, huh? Ah, the front desk didn’t inform me.”

Selena had already caught on to his pretense but this is just what adults do when dealing with each other, she thought.

“It’s my fault, Mr. Wright. I recently signed a new order and came rushing to replace you. You also know that it’s Raymond’s order. Our cooperation can be considered mutually beneficial.”

“Selena, I have to go on a business trip for a meeting now. I really don’t have time to look at your order. How about this, let’s discuss it in detail when I come back from the business trip.”

This is an excuse she thought, Mr. Wright has probably found a new partner already, but the contract hasn’t been signed yet, so he wants to keep her tied in.

A hint of coldness flashed in Selena’s eyes as the corner of her mouth lightly lifted.

“Since I entered this industry, I have been working with you, Mr. Wright. I considered our relationship to be quite close. If Mr. Wright has found a better partner, it would be better to tell me directly. This way, I can make arrangements in a timely manner. After all, Mr. Montague is also urging me.”

Mr. Wright was indeed envious of Raymond’s project, but the truth was that even if he provided a renovation team at this moment, the ones who would benefit the most from this project were the designers.

The renovation company had almost no connection to it, at most, they would just feel like the designers were monitoring them.

Moreover, in their previous collaborations with Selena, all the bosses had mentioned that she was diligent and responsible. She personally went to the construction sites, bringing them renovation projects that were far less significant compared to the increase in fame for the designers.

But now, the collaboration with T. Rowe Price was different. They were willing to sell renovation materials to him at cost price. This would allow them to quote lower prices in the future and attract more customers. After all, there were more people in the world without money.

Mr. Wright still had a smile on his face.

“Selena, I really need to go on this business trip urgently. Let’s talk when I come back.”

After finishing his words, Mr. Wright got into his own car.

Selena stood outside, having already expected this scene. Ever since she was not allowed to go up stairs she had guessed that Mr. Wright had probably found a partner, what she couldn’t understand was why Mr. Wright would reject her just because he was working with someone else.

If they renovated Raymond’s house, wouldn’t the company also benefit greatly in the long run, she wondered.

What kind of benefits did this third party offer. She didn’t have time to think about it at the moment and contacted several other renovation companies, but they all refused her without exception.

One of them even agreed at first, but as soon as they heard her name, they quickly refused. Apparently someone was targeting her. Selena immediately thought of Caterlington.

Since Kross encountered problems, Caterlington had become the president of T. Rowe Price.

T. Rowe Price was the largest renovation material company in the country, otherwise Kross

wouldn’t have had such a close collaboration with the school.

If her hunch was right and Caterlington was behind this, then most reputable renovation teams probably wouldn’t be willing to work with her. If this continued, Raymond’s project would

inevitably be delayed.

She rubbed her forehead with her hand and at this moment, Caterlington called.

“Selena, have you been feeling troubled recently? Do you need my help?”

Selena found it amusing, a touch of irony flashed in her eyes.

“Mr. Walsh, your timing for this call is too convenient. I can’t help but suspect that all of this is just a scheme from your end.”

Caterlington smiled and his eyes were filled with confidence. “It was indeed my arrangement, but if Selena can have a meal with me, I can introduce you to a better construction team. Don’t worry, you can record the whole process, and if I offend you, you can directly call the police as you did last time.” When he mentioned calling the police, he lightly tapped his cheek with his tongue.

Selena was an interesting and strong woman who knew how to resist. With her abilities and that face, he had become somewhat interested, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble.
