Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Ethan’s POV:

As we made our way to the conference room, Jameson was trying to make small talk. Though I paid him no mind, truth was I was there for one reason only, Clara Granger–Rouleau. I had no interest in JGP, honestly I found Jameson rather repulsive, but I acknowledged that as his daughter, poaching Clara would be close to impossible. So even if it meant partnering with this insufferable man, if it meant getting close to her, I’d endure it.

After arriving, Jameson and Edward began setting up proposals and paperwork. Edward spoke first.

“Chairman Taylor, let me just say, on behalf of JGP we are so excited about the possibility of working with you! Now-”

Before Edward could finish, Jameson cut him off.

“Yes, we’re delighted to partner with ETP! And I say this as the Chairman of one the most influential pharmaceutical companies in the world, I’m glad you had the resolve to come to us for help.”

Arrogant.

Was this jackass for real. He honestly thought I came to this company for him. I would need to end this meeting quickly before I lose my reserve. I glanced over at Edward who was now looking at Jameson with nervous annoyance.

“A–As I was saying Chairman, we’ve compose an entire proposal regarding our recent advancements with nano technology as well as medicinal breakthroughs that I think you would find very imp…-

I held my hand to cut Edward off, I wasn’t trying to be rude to him, honestly I had no qualms with Edward. But I didn’t want to waste anymore time if I didn’t have too.

“VP Lawrence, forgive me for being curt but I actually have another meeting I’ll be intending soon so I don’t want to take too much of your time. While I’m sure your proposal is impressive, ETP has already begun nano treatment research as my father and brother runs one the largest tech companies in the

world.”

Both Jameson and Edward stared at me with confusion. I could tell Jameson’s annoyance was rising but I couldn’t care in the slightest. I knew their company’s finances weren’t in the greatest position. Granger had been spending his company’s funds quicker than he was producing. Over the past few years their medicinal production grew stagnant, and the talent was dwindling. Edward exhaled and began to speak.

“Chairman, if you don’t mind my asking, what exactly did you want this meeting for?”

Fair question.

“Actually VP, my interest is in Chairman Granger’s daughter, 1-”

Before I could finish, Jameson’s eyes beamed with joy.

74%

“Well, why didn’t you say so! You didn’t have to hold this meeting. If you were interested in my Sophie all you had to do-”

“I’m sorry Chairman, who is Sophie?”

Jameson looked at me with confusion. For some reason he thought I was referring to his idiot daughter Sophie. I’d done my research on the other Granger daughter, I’m not sure what the spell was she’d cast on her father, but there was nothing special about her at all. She was a lackluster student at best that clearly only got into the schools she went to because of her father’s

connections.

“Who’s Sophie? She’s my daughter. How could you be interested in her and not know her name?”

I could see Edward slightly roll his eyes in annoyance; we clearly were on the same page. Clearly his

throat, he began to speak.

“Um, Jameson I think the Chairman is referring to your other daughter, Clara.”

Jameson shot Edward hard glare.

“Why on earth would he be interested in her!”

His voice raised higher than a normal tone. Clearly his held a disdain for her, though I wasn’t sure why, I had my speculations. Looking over at my assistant Owen, I gave the signal it was time to leave. Clearly I would have to think of another way to work with Clara. Standing up, I could see panic rising in both Jameson and Edward’s eyes. Edward held his hand up.

“Wait a second Chairman Tyler! If you’re interested in working with Clara, you made the right decision coming here,”
