Chapter 84 - Clash (2)

Eleanor arranged a few fake materials in the stolen copy of their presentation which was handed to the Parkinson's. And last night was the time she got the information of the one who got tipped by the Parkinson's. 

From the moment they started taking a part in the bid with the Callan group, she felt those Parkinson's were eyeing them from the start. So… she arranged some cheats herself. Now they came in handy. As for the guy who got tipped, she will take care of him. She was frustrated a lot these days, she would take it on him. 

After an hour, she set off to the Callan group with her team on a bus. She could see that guy taking pictures and sending them to her enemy. 

Maybe… she needs to play her cards well from now. 

[Hi.] she texted Cedric. 

[Hi. Did you reach the office?]  Cedric said. 

[I am on my way to Callan groups.] she said. 

[For the bidding?]  he texted back. 

[Yeah…] Eleanor replied. 

[All the best, Wifey!!! Make me proud!!!]  Cedric's over-excited reply came from the other side. 

[I need help, Cedric.]  she texted him. If Cedric doesn't help her now, then she has to go through a few troubles before she plays with that Parkinson's group. 

She knew was taking advantage of him, but she had no choice. As days passed he became her source of support and her strength. 

[Do you want me to chase away all the bidders from there? Do you want the project now? Tell me. I will do anything for you!]  Cedric said. 

Cedric was on the way to the Callan group. Because Edward asked him to accompany him for the project as Emerson's were one of the major shareholders in that project. 

It's a resort near a beach, generally, a resort near a beach won't get permission easily as they were prone to be tsunami zones. So… Emerson groups invested in this project along with Callan groups to provide the utmost technology. In a way that even if there was a tsunami the buildings won't collapse. So… this project earns a lot of money for the people who were involved. Now the bidding was for the interior design of those resorts. 

Since it's a beachside resort, many tourists would visit them. So the interior design and the architecture should be unique and should show the culture of their country Arrowglen. The one who proposes a design that shows their culture and makes the tourists feel warm would win the bid. 

So when Eleanor asked if she needed help, Cedric guessed that she wanted this bid as it's important for them. Even though he knew she was using him, he was willing to do that. 

He waited eagerly for her reply. 

[No! I want to be fair and square!]  her anxious reply came to him. 

[Then?]  he asked. He thought that she would ask for the project. Maybe he shouldn't think bad about her, at least not this much worse. 

[Actually,... I want to give the presentation first. Can you arrange that? Our slot is at 10th slot.]  she texted. 

[Why?]  he asked. 

[Just watch the drama that would unfold there. Don't ask me why] she replied. 

[It would be too partial. Others would think that we made up our mind and would think that the results are already finalized.] Cedric stated the facts since she wanted to be fair and square. 

[hmm… Parkinson's stole our project theme and presentation. Their presentation was ahead of us. So… I want to play with them.] Eleanor admitted the truth. 

Cedric couldn't believe his eyes about the fact that Eleanor said. 

Since it's like this… he would do it for her but in a fair way. 

[Then… I will arrange the third slot for you which is supposed to be Parkinson's slot. I will switch them with your company slot. What do you say?]  Cedric texted back to her. 

Eleanor thought for a few seconds before replying to him. 

[Fine!] she replied with an excited face. 

[Note that the thing is done.] Cedric sent her the text. 

Aww… his wifey was relying on him. Cedric knew these things could be done by pulling the strings from the lower managers too. But she asked him, it means that she trusts him and has feelings for him. 

Cedric felt that he was at the top of the world as he heard. 

He immediately called Edward's number. 

"Hello, buddy!" Edward's annoying voice rang from the other side.

"I need you to do something," Cedric said without even greeting him. 

"Aww… I am hurt. You abandoned me for days due to your wife. And now the moment you called me you didn't even greet me but gave me orders. My heart is hurt!" he cried his fake tears. 

"Shut up and listen!" Cedric said seriously, making Edward straighten up very instant. 

"What is it?" he asked. His playfulness and his teasing tone were gone and replaced with a serious tone. 

"Exchange the slots of Parkinson's and Zora groups," Cedric said. 

"Why?" Edward asked with curiosity. 

"If you want to watch an interesting drama. Do that," Cedric said. 

"Don't tell me they are bullying my sister-in-law?" Edward replied. 

"That's the case!" Cedric said to him. 

"Dammit! You should have said it earlier. I would have done it! Consider it as done! I will get it done right now!" Edward said in his excited tone. 

"But don't be obvious," Cedric warned. 

"Okay! Got it my king!" he replied. 

"I will be hanging then!" Cedric replied. 

"Okay, See you!" Edward said. 

Cedric hung the call and smiled as he thought how his wife would be handling the things there. 

He reached the Callan group in the next ten minutes. 

Eleanor and her group reached the Callan group in twenty-five minutes. They were led inside by the staff to the presentation room. Eleanor and her team settled at their table.. And as if the god wanted to collide with them, the Parkinson's sat opposite to them.
