Chapter 160 An Excellent Bedfellow

• Roy was being courteous toward the Hoffmans by bringing me along to this meeting; he had no intention whatsoever to give them a kowtow at all. Throughout the entire meeting, he had his trademark icy demeanor on display while I played the affable card. As the both of us carried on with this good cop, bad cop endeavor, the other couple appeared to realize that they would not be able to bargain for the upper hand. They were left with no choice but to accede to his conditions and sign the contract for the collaboration.
• When the meeting came to a fruitful end, Roy was the ever-gracious host as he invited the Hoffmans for a meal at the hotel.
• Presently, Mr. Hoffman offered to buy Roy a drink, but the latter merely poured iced tea into his wine glass and said, “Please allow me to toast to you, Mr. Hoffman, though I’ll only be having tea for the evening.”
