Lord Protector Novel

Zeke tilted his head to the side and mulled over her words. “Indeed. It's only been a few years since Linton Group

started developing, so it still has a lot to do before taking on the other competitors. Well, just go since Mitxel Group

has invited you. Maybe she might change her mind in the afternoon.”

It looks like Rhett has not informed Lucy about choosing Linton Group for the collaboration yet. That's why Lucy still

prefers Intercontinental Group over Linton Group. Once Rhett informs Lucy about it, Lucy will surely pick Linton

Group instead.

Emma nodded. “Regardless of what the results are, I have to take a trip there.”

Zeke drove home.

On their way there, Emma suddenly said, “Mr. Williams, please let me off at the junction in front. You should go

home alone.”

“Why?” Zeke asked, puzzled.

Emma replied, “Linton Group's office has been burned down, so I've temporarily rented my friend's building as the

office. I now need to talk to them about the rent.”

Zeke fell silent in rumination. “Since I have nothing to do now, let's go together.”

Naturally, Emma would say yes to that. “Sure! I'm friends with the other party, so it won't be too convenient for me

to haggle the rent with them. Mr. Williams, it'll be good if you can negotiate the rent with them instead.”

Of course, Emma was happy because she could spend time with Zeke. In fact, she didn't care much about the

negotiation.

Zeke tilted his heod to the side ond mulled over her words. “Indeed. It's only been o few yeors since Linton Group

storted developing, so it still hos o lot to do before toking on the other competitors. Well, just go since Mitxel Group

hos invited you. Moybe she might chonge her mind in the ofternoon.”

It looks like Rhett hos not informed Lucy obout choosing Linton Group for the colloborotion yet. Thot's why Lucy still

prefers Intercontinentol Group over Linton Group. Once Rhett informs Lucy obout it, Lucy will surely pick Linton

Group insteod.

Emmo nodded. “Regordless of whot the results ore, I hove to toke o trip there.”

Zeke drove home.

On their woy there, Emmo suddenly soid, “Mr. Willioms, pleose let me off ot the junction in front. You should go

home olone.”

“Why?” Zeke osked, puzzled.

Emmo replied, “Linton Group's office hos been burned down, so I've tempororily rented my friend's building os the

office. I now need to tolk to them obout the rent.”

Zeke fell silent in ruminotion. “Since I hove nothing to do now, let's go together.”

Noturolly, Emmo would soy yes to thot. “Sure! I'm friends with the other porty, so it won't be too convenient for me

to hoggle the rent with them. Mr. Willioms, it'll be good if you con negotiote the rent with them insteod.”

Of course, Emmo wos hoppy becouse she could spend time with Zeke. In foct, she didn't core much obout the

negotiotion.

At this point, she just wanted to spend more time with Zeke.

Emma then took over the wheel, and she intentionally picked a longer route just so she could spend more time with

Zeke.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

It was a sixteen-floor building located on the outskirts. Although the exterior seemed old and shabby, the structure

still stood steadily. It would be more than enough to be Linton Group's temporary office.

Emma and Zeke then came down from the car.

She reminded him, “Mr. Williams, my friend has asked for a million. You should bring the price down to seven

hundred thousand.”

Zeke nodded. “Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.”

Right as the car came to a stop, a man with a beer belly jogged over.

The man had a plump face, and when he smiled, his teeth were on full display. It looked a little terrifying. “Ms.

Jones, you're here that early? Please come in! Take a look at the building and see if you're satisfied with it.”

Emma gave him a slight smile. “Greetings, Mr. Turner. Let me introduce you to my assistant, Zeke.”

Zeke did not want Emma to reveal that he was the owner of Linton Group, so Emma had to pretend that he was her

assistant.

The plump man glanced at Zeke before the look in his eyes turned into contempt. “Hello there.”

“Come in, Emma. I just boiled some water, so have a hot tea to warm up.”

Emma answered, “Let's skip that. We're in a rush. Mr. Turner, why don't you bring us on a tour of the building

instead?”

“Sure!”

He then led the two into the building.

It was originally an office building, so the interior structure was perfect as an office. Emma liked it right away.

Hence, she said, “Yes, Mr. Turner, I quite like this building.”

The plump man grinned. “I'm glad you like it. If there aren't any issues with it, let's sign the contract now.”

He then took out a piece of contract and handed it to Emma.

After a glance at it, Emma furrowed her brows.

“Mr. Turner, we've agreed earlier to have a rent of one million. Why does this contract state that it's one and a half

million now?”

The man responded, “That's right. That was an earlier agreement. However, the final rent is one and a half million.

There's nothing wrong with that.”

Emma quickly said, “But this raise is a little too much for such a short period of time!”

With a smile, the plump man said, “Ms. Jones, don't worry. I'll definitely let you have your cut too.”

Emma questioned, “Mr. Turner, what do you mean?”
