Chapter 296 - Specific reasons...

Before the two friends could continue more, another knock interrupted them and soon a fine looking gentleman in his dark brown suit approached them..

"Hello Mr. Lopez and Mr. Wilson. It's nice to meet both of you together. I think I should thank my luck for letting me meet not only one but two respecting business persons together. However, I'm Cole Parker…the CEO of Parker Textiles."

When Cole entered the cabin, he was surprised to see another man same age of Mr. Lopez sitting across him.

But as he had already made a overall checking on every famous businessmen of city S, he recognized him immediately and greeted him politely along with Mr. Lopez.

"Hello, Mr. Parker. It's nice to meet you too. Please take a seat." Mr. Lopez said.

Sitting across Mr. Lopez, Cole said, "Thank for accepting my request for this meeting with you."

Mr. Lopez nodded and said, "So what can I do for you young man?"

"Sir.. I've heard that you're opening your first ever fashion line soon. So I've come here to request you to give our company a chance to produce raw materials to your company." Cole said confidently.

"You're quite straightforward Mr. Parker and I like that about you. But getting a business deal with us about such a big reason, would be quite difficult for you...

You must know that I never played with my company's image in my whole life so I wouldn't do that too just because you requested me to give you a chance. So if you really want to be a partner of us then...on what basis should I choose you? What speciality does your company have that other doesn't?" Mr. Lopez asked him very professionally.

Though he was well aware of the good reputation of Parker Textiles but still he would not judge anyone just by his name. He would examine the true potential of the person or company first before involving his company with anyone.

Cole very well knew that if he wanted a merger between his company and Lopez Industries then he had to put all of his conversation skill on this.

So without getting nervous, he smiled confidently and said, "Yes sir, I understand your situation. So I'd like to show you few different types of materials to you which would help you to take a decision."

Cole indicated his assistant to show few raw materials which were the special edition of Parker Textiles.

Both Mr. Lopez and Mr. Wilson was satisfied with it but needed the confirmation from a specialist in this matter...

So Mr. Lopez asked his assistant to call for Jack as Diana was busy in preparing Lucinda's dress.

Few minutes later, Jack entered and said, "Sir you've called me?"

"Yes Jack. I need you to help me in inspecting the quality of these raw clothes materials. However Jack, he is Mr. Cole Parker, the CEO of Parker Textiles and Mr. Parker, he is the team head of our fashion department. He is right now working under our Head designer." Mr. Lopez introduced both guys.

Cole smiled at Jack and shook his hand with him without knowing that he was going to be the biggest enemy of his life soon...

After checking the threads of the samples, Jack said, "Sir, the quality of the material is really good. Even it'd be the best for our collection of summer dresses."

"Fine Jack, you can leave then." Father Lopez said.

After Jack left, Mr. Lopez smiled before saying, "Then the deal is sealed. I'll inform my lawyer to make a contract so that we could sign it off as soon as possible. But before that, tell me about your demands."

Coming into a mutual agreement and some talks about their companies, they decided to sign the deal on the next day which made both of them happy.

"I'm really impressed seeing your working ethics. However, as you've told that you're shifting your company here so any specific reason for it?" Mr. Lopez asked.

"Actually sir, I wanted to grow my company's reputation bigger by bringing it on a national level. Though there is another reason of shifting which is my best friend Alonzo Brown." Cole said.

"Oh! So you're Alonzo's friend?" Mr. Wilson asked who was sitting there all quietly till now.

"Yes.. Both I and Alonzo are childhood friends." Cole confirmed.

Mr. Wilson nodded his head and said, "Okay then. This Thursday is my daughter's engagement so do come as I also invited your friend there."

"Sure sir. I'll definitely come." Cole said feeling proud of himself.

The very same day, evening time...

Diana's cabin...

Diana welcomed her friends Veronica and Lucinda but what caught her attention was a new face which she wasn't familiar with at all.

"Hey guys. Take a seat please. Where is Willa and Louis? And who is she?" Diana asked.

"Well, both Louis and Willa are busy with some projects. And she is Myra Brown..our new friend. You know what she is from city B.." Lucinda introduced.

Diana was flabbergasted with the new information but anyways smiled at Myra, "Hello Myra. I'm Diana."

"Hey Diana… It's nice to meet you. I heard a lot of things about you from Vero and Lucy. while coming here.." Myra replied with a smile.

"I hope all you've heard from them are good things about me." Diana joked while everyone laughed.

"Nah.. We only told her about how bad you are.." Veronica joked after sitting on the couch beside Diana.

Diana pouted at this and whined, "Come on Vero. You know that you can never say anything bad about me."

Veronica chuckled at her and asked, "So all prepared?" 

"Yes... The initial part is done. And the rest will be completed by tomorrow night. I'll bring the dress on Thursday morning to check the fittings." Diana said putting on a smile.

"Can I see the dress for once?" Lucinda asked, getting excited.

"Of course Lucy. After all, it's your dress so you don't have to ask." Diana said and called Jack to bring the dress...
