Lydia picked up her cutlery.
“Well, forget about it for now. Let’s enjoy our food.”
Hannah followed suit, but made no move to cut her steak. Instead, she peered at Lydia and asked, “Wait, this land you talked about, is it in the East district? The one that’s up for a development project?”
Lydia nodded and gave her a curious look.
“Are you familiar with this project? I thought the White Group didn’t dabble in real estate business?”
Hannah could feel the telltale signs of a migraine coming.
“It’s a little complicated. The White Group didn’t do real estate until recently.”
That changed after they struck a partnership with the Mitchell Group.
As per the terms of their contract, both companies were set to participate in the bidding. It was a smart move, as they would be able to secure the project regardless of which one of them won the bidding.
But in the advent of the recent downfall of Hannah’s relationship with Bryson…
“Hannah?” Lydia called out when she noticed her friend scowling at the food.
“What do you mean complicated? Did something happen?”
Hannah hesitated for a good while, but eventually told her about nitty-gritty details of the situation.
“I see.” Lydia nodded, acting like she didn’t know that Hannah and Bryson had already broken up.
“The way I see it, though, it’s either you or the Mitchell Group would get the land. You don’t have to worry about the Phillips Group. Even with the fifty million, the land would still be a long shot for my family. I asked around, and it seemed that the competition is very fierce. If you didn’t have more than one billion to throw away, then you shouldn’t even think about joining the biding. At least, that’s what they say.”
Hannah sighed and massaged her temples.
“I’m not worried about that.

It’s just…”
She sighed again.
“I don’t want to hide the truth from you. The thing is, Bryson and I… We broke up. So this project…”
Lydia gasped in shock, her eyes growing wide.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to hand over the project to the Mitchell Group?”
“Not exactly,” Hannah said.
“The White Group is not particularly well-versed in the real estate industry, but it is the Mitchell Group’s forte. Besides, since the beginning, it was agreed that the White Group would just be tagging along as support. Something Like an extra guarantee that the Mitchell Group would win the bid. I mean, even if we decide to take the matter seriously, the White Group could never compete against then Mitchell Group.”
