A thought flashed through Lily’s mind.
Seeing the look on his face, she wanted to tease him.
She smiled gently and said half-jokingly, "I think the store is quite interesting.Why don’t you buy it,
Mr.Russell?"
Of course, she was only joking.
No matter how wealthy a businessman was, he needed to plan before making any moves.It was not
like buying clothes where one could buy whatever they fancied.
However, she had forgotten that Alexander was not an ordinary person.To him, buying such a store
was not like buying clothes.It was as simple as buying a cup of coffee or a bun.
Thus, he replied, "Okay."
Lily was taken aback.
"What?!"
‘Hahaha"
Alexander laughed to himself.
"B-But..."
Lily looked at Alexander's expression and realized that he was not joking.She quickly changed her
words and said, "I was joking.Please don’t take it seriously.You should think carefully before deciding toPublished by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
buy a store."
"There’s no need to think further.If you’re okay with it, it’s good enough."
Alexander barely even blinked as he said this.It was as though any hesitation was a waste of time.
‘What did he mean by "okay?"I was just joking!’ Lily was about to dissuade him when she caught sight
of Louis.
She recalled that they had made an appointment in advance.
Could it be that they had planned this long ago? Right now, were they pretending to go along with her
words instead?
"You had long planned to buy this store, hadn’t you?" Lily asked Alexander after some thought.
Alexander shook his head.
"No.I was planning to invest and buy some shares, but if you like it, I can buy out the whole store."
He looked at Louis and asked, "That’s okay with you, right?"
Louis nodded enthusiastically.
"Not a problem! Of course, it’s okay! As long you’ re willing to cooperate with the Corden Group, there’s
no problem if you wish to buy this store, Mr.Russell.We own many more stores similar to this.If you
wish, please feel free to choose a few more, Mr.Russell."
Lily was speechless.It seemed like she was overthinking it.
Maybe there were not as many things that needed consideration when doing business as she had
thought.
"You can buy the store if you wish, but as I said earlier, imitation and similar products will soon become
popular.Even if the craftsmanship isn’t as good as the original, they will surely steal a lot of
business.Are you sure that you want to invest in this business now?"
Lily looked at Alexander curiously.He looked down and smiled.
"What's wrong? Are you worried I’ll go bankrupt and have no money to support you?"
She was discussing the store's future with him, and he wanted to fool around with her instead.
"If that happens, I’ll need to rely on you," Alexander said in a half- truth.
Lily was puzzled and frowned.
Alexander smiled meaningfully but did not elaborate on his words.He put away his teasing look and
said to Louis in all seriousness, "Let’s go with that decision.We can arrange for a meeting later to sign
the contract."
"Okay.Our company’s president looks forward to cooperating with you, Mr.Russell."
Louis was over the moon.
‘Louis Corden, Mike Corden, and the Corden Group? This is entirely a family business!’ "By the way,
this lovely lady is?" Louis asked after their discussion ended as he looked at Lily curiously.
