Chapter 160 He’s Needy
They talked, updating their bids.
Janet raised the bid to 1.8 million dollars, and Nathaniel immediately raised it to 2 million dollars.
Nigel felt his heart tighten.
He told Janet, “Actually, the base price we set for this APP is 300 thousand dollars. It will be ten times
higher than that price now. Don’t
waste money.”
Janet raised her eyebrows slightly. “You should say this to Nathaniel. As I said before, I am determined
to get this APP. No matter how Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
much it is, it is not a problem.”
Nigel didn’t say anything more.
She was too rich.
Until the price Increased to 3 million dollars, neither of them had any intention of stopping. The
organizers finally called to stop the bidding.
If they continue bidding, it wouldn’t end even if it got dark.
Earl went on stage to take the microphone and eased the atmosphere. “It can be seen that both of you
really want to get this APP, but we don’t have enough time left. The bidding will end here. Next, we will
discuss and decide the final winner.”
After that, he winked at Nigel below the stage and asked him to hurry backstage.
“Sorry, Jill. I have to go. I’ll come back soon.”
After Nigel left, Janet felt that the venue was a little stuffy. She suddenly remembered that Nigel said
that there was a balcony in the southwest corner of the venue. The weather was also good, so she got
up and walked out.
There was a breeze blowing on the balcony, giving a bit of freshness to the hot weather. Janet walked
to the balcony and propped her arm on the edge, looking at the scenery with her chin propped up.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of the door behind her. When she
looked back, her face immediately became gloomy. She turned back to ignore the person who came.
The fresh air seemed to have become turbid because of this person’s appearance.
Janet wanted to leave, but she stopped.
They would inevitably meet again at business parties, and she didn’t do anything wrong. Why should
she hide from him?
Nathaniel walked slowly to her side and stood still. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and was
about to light it up. When he saw Janet
frown slightly, he subconsciously put the cigarette back.
After separating, some memories about the past often emerged, becoming clearer and clearer.
He remembered that Janet didn’t like the smell of smoke, but she never said that. She would frown like
this when he smoked.
It was just that he never cared about it.
At this moment, he suddenly cared about her feelings.
For a long time, they did not speak.
The scene became silent.
Nathaniel had his hands in his pockets, leaning against the edge of the balcony. He was not far from
Janet, and even his breathing was
very clear to her.
Janet thought that as long as he didn’t break the silence, she would pretend that he wasn’t there.
Unexpectedly, he spoke.
“I’m sorry for last night.”
She didn’t expect him to mention what happened last night. She was slightly stunned. When she came
back to her senses, she said seriously, “Nothing. I’ve forgotten about it.”
It was embarrassing..
He saw Janet leave the venue. When he came back to his senses, he had already followed her to the
balcony.
This was not a topic that could be continued, so Nathaniel changed the topic to the competition.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a deep understanding of software operation and new media,” he said.
“You have changed, which surprised me,” Nathaniel praised her sincerely.
“I haven’t changed. It’s just that you don’t know me too much.” Janet replied calmly.
She deliberately hid it, but he didn’t want to know it.
How could he know her so well?
“I admit that I don’t know you well enough.” Nathaniel stared at her, his eyes deep as if there was
something hidden behind these words.
Janet didn’t want to probe further, so she avoided his gaze.
“You don’t need to know me, and I don’t need you to know me anymore.”
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She met Nathaniel’s eyes again, and her tone was firm.
“Mr. Webster, as an opponent, it’s
better for us to avoid contact in private.”
The implication was that there was nothing to talk about between them. If Nathaniel was tactful, he
should have left immediately. He
shouldn’t even have come over.
Nathaniel understood the meaning of her words, but he didn’t care at all, raising his eyebrows slightly.
“It’s just a casual chat. I haven’t inquired about business secrets.”
“But I don’t want to talk to you.”
Janet frowned and gradually lost her patience. Why didn’t she think that he was so needy?
