Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 1078 Just A Businessman

"The members of the leadership team hope that I can personally thank President Luke. Should I wait a little longer?" He was a stubborn man.

Larry found him a bit difficult to handle. "We don't want to waste your time. The President has said that he is not a celebrity nor an influencer, and it was never his intention to hype up Sunderland tourism. So, there's no need to thank him."

He then pointed to the banner in Caleb's hand, looking a bit overwhelmed. "This gift is beyond what we can afford to accept."

In an instant, the smile vanished from Larry's face, and he said, "In the case where Sunderland and Luke Corporation reach a cooperation in the future, we will have all the time to thank each other."

Caleb did not expect Larry to be so uncooperative. His face was clearly dark even with the reporters around.

He had taken the initiative in making this trip, so he wouldn't give up until he saw Hanson.

That said, he didn't push any further when he thought of Hanson's temperament and methods.

Handing the banner to Larry, Caleb uttered, "This is just a small token of appreciation from our leadership team. Please, Mr. Clark, accept it on behalf of President Luke."

Just as Larry was hesitating, Vania appeared.

Ah, a savior! He immediately rushed to Vania, looking like he was begging for help.

A glance at the big banner beside Larry told Vania all she had to know about what was going on, but she pretended not to be confused and asked, "What happened?"

Although knowing that she was faking it, Larry had no choice but to explain Caleb's visit to her.

Then, as if having grasped the situation, Vania politely smiled at Caleb. "You're too kind. I hope we didn't cause you any trouble. Since you've already prepared for this appreciation, it wouldn't be good if we don't accept it. But if we do, it wouldn't be good for us either."

This made Caleb even more embarrassed. What does she mean? Are they accepting it or not? Why is everyone here so hard to understand?

He suddenly regretted sending the banner to Hanson. He's just a company president. Why is he acting so haughty?

Reading his expression, Vania instantly knew that he wasn't a sincere man.

She had wanted to discuss a tourism project cooperation with Sunderland, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Seeing Caleb's awkward look, Vania decided to leave. "I have something else to attend to. Excuse me."

"Bring me up." She gestured to Larry.

Larry then turned to Caleb and excused himself before immediately following Vania to leave. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

With that, Caleb and the group of bewildered journalists were left in their spots.

How am I going to explain this?

I am at least the leader of a city! Hanson Luke is just a businessman, yet he dares not refuse to see me. This is ridiculous.

The news of the Sunderland leader being rejected by Luke Corporation immediately reached Eddie.

Looking at Caleb's sinister face, he grinned triumphantly and said to Brandon. "Oh, isn't this just what we need?"

They were just short of manpower, and someone useful happened to come knocking on the door.

The person they needed at this moment was someone ambitious, someone who wanted to replace Hanson Luke.

Even if they didn't actually have the ability, it was good enough as long as they were ambitious.

No one had the ability to replace Hanson anyway.

Brandon smiled from ear to ear as he responded, "Young Master, I will go and make contact now."

He was very experienced in doing such things.

With the support of people in the political world, many things would be easier in the future.
