Nicole was pleased to see Jared complimenting her like that.
She thought their relationship would change after they had been married, and indeed, it had evolved to become even cheesier. However, she had also managed to pick something up.
While eating, she asked, "You have something else in mind coming here, don't you?"
Even if they were just going there for a meal, Jared would not have chosen such an ostentatious place.
Jared looked at with a deep-set gaze. "Oh, my wife knows me too well."
He did not go there just because of the meal. He wanted to meet someone too.
While he was thinking about it, someone showed up on the floor, with the staff members showing him the way at once.
Both Nicole and Jared turned to see the approaching guest. The man was in a suit and had sunglasses on.
He gradually took his sunglasses off when he saw Jared, exposing his pair of sapphire blue eyes.
"Are you the CEO of the Johnston Group?" he asked in the Ramanian language fluently.
The man looked shocked, as if he was in utter disbelief.
"Yes, it's Jared Johnston speaking." Jared nodded gracefully.
Seeing that Jared was legitimate, the man took a seat on the couch directly opposite their table.
The man was acting like a local tyrant, so Nicole immediately knew that he was not an average Joe. She figured that this man might be useful to them.
Jared did not say much either. He got up and walked to the couch as he signaled the bodyguard to bring a cigar over for the man.
The man accepted it, and in a flat tone of voice, he said, "Mr. Johnston, you asked for me the minute you landed in Ramania. What's the issue?"
The man was wild and unruly, but he was probably obligated to come just because Jared had requested for his presence.
"Mr. Lawrence, I lost a shipment in Ramania and I need you to help me find it."
Lawrence squinted as he was not happy to see that Jared was ordering him around like he was the latter's subordinate. If Jared was someone else, he would have already flipped the table and left. However, Jared's international status was not to be taken lightly.
He cut to the chase and asked, "Since you need a favor from me, you've got to give me something in return, don't you think, Mr. Johnston?"
Nicole frowned. She knew that these people would always put their interests first.
"Of course. As long as you can find it, all of Johnston Group and JJ Johnston's industries will be Vitta Group's to partner with."
The instant Vitta Group was brought up, Lawrence turned green. None of the outsiders had known that the Vitta Group belonged to him.
Nicole squinted as well. She did not expect Lawrence to be the person behind the largest sea, land, and air logistics company in the world.
On the other hand, Johnston Group and JJ Johnston were two of the biggest companies in the southern side of the world. If they allowed the Vitta Group to take care of all of their logistic business, it would rack the Vitta Group a fortune!
"Are you serious about this?" Lawrence asked.
He had witnessed a great deal of things in his lifetime, but he still could not hide his excitement over the deal that had been proposed.
"Yes. Partnering is a win-win for both of us." Jared swirled his wine and smirked.
Nicole admired the intelligent look on Jared's face. 'He made a great move.'
With the Johnston Group and JJ Johnston Group's status now, they would have to cooperate with Lawrence sooner or later. But leveraging this partnership beforehand to get Lawrence to agree in helping them to find the Braves was simply a brilliant move.
Such was why Jared had maintained a steady and successful career.
With a local bigwig like Lawrence helping them with the investigation, they would not alert the enemies. Furthermore, they would even be more familiar with the local situation, which would prove to be much more beneficial and efficient.
