Daphne held Samuel's arm silently."Mr. Atkins, how much is the discount you mentioned?"

"I can give you a 70% di scount for the tarpaulin,which will cost you 14 dollars per three feet three inches. Looking at your rented place, you need more than 300 feet. As for renting the warehouse, the cost would be 80 dollars per day. You wouldn't need to rent the warehouse for long if you could complete the renovation sooner, Ms. Walters. Look at your store. It's quite big. The rent alone is already about 20,000 dollars. It won't cost you much to spend a little more and also won't make things difficult for us, right?"

When Mario spoke, he stressed the word"rent"very heavily. The t hreat within his tone was obvious.

He was hinting to Daphne that she had spent so much money, so she should not cause more trouble for herself anymore.

He was also implying to Daphne that she would lose one more day's rent for each day of delay. It was not a small amount of cost too.

Daphne suddenly smiled and changed the topic.

"Mr. Atkins, let me introduce someone to you.This is Samuel Quigley. He's currently working for Zabinski Group in a management post."

Mario frowned and looked at Samuel. When he saw Daphne holding Samuel's arm, he guessed the relationship between them in his mind.

Mario softened his frown and walked forward, greeting Samuel with a smile. "Haha, Samuel, it turns out that you and I might be colleagues since both of us work under Zabinski Group. Which company do you work for?"

"Sphere Real Estate." Samuel introducedhimself.

"Sphere Real Estate is a good place. It has goodsales performance and is highly valued by the head office." Mario laughed lightly."Samuel, you can come here often for a visit from now on. We can walk around this place more. You sure are a promising young man to be in the management post at such a young age!"

"Okay, sure." Samuel agreed with a smile.

Mario glanced at Samuel's expression obscurely. Seeing that there was no change in it, he felt relieved.

To be honest, although they were sister companies, Sphere Real Estate had nothing related to Khandud Mall.

Moreover, no matter how much power Samuel had, he could not interfere with the business in Khandud Mall.

However, Mario was thinking about the person behind Samuel who would let Samuel get into a management post at such a young age.

Seeing that Samuel did not speak, Mario could not figure out the truth and looked at Daphne. "Haha. Ms. Walters, since we're not strangers, I'llmake the decision and apply for a friendly price for you! The tarpaulin's price would be only 10 dollars per three feet three inches. You can apply for the tarpaulin for more than 300 feet. As for the warehouse rental, there's no need to use that anymore since it would be troublesome to move the materials back and forth every day. As for your shop facade specifications, I will approve it privately for you. You can also change to another brand of paint later. I have someone I know who could provide the paint and give you the lowest price. What do you think?"

Hearing Mario's suggestions, Daphne obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

The tarpaulin cost 10 dollars per three feet three inches and only a few hundred dollars for more than 300 feet, which was still acceptable.

As for the paint, Mario had said so. No matter how unreasonable he was, Daphne could just try hard to earn back a few hundred dollars from the loss. The main thing was that the issue about the shop facade specifications was eased up.

After all, specifications were something decided by the security department, and there was no telling how much the actual cost was.

Daphne counted the amount. She could still afford to spend a little over 2,000 dollars in total to settle the issue, but just as she was about to speak, she heard someone's voice behind her.

"Mr. Atkins, right? I remember that the tarpaulinused for renovation in Khandud Mall should be provided to merchants for free. As long as it is not damaged during usage, there will be no fees charged. Why do we need to buy it?" Robert strode over.

Hearing what Robert said, Daphne felt panic in her mind."Oh, no."

Daphne knew clearly that Khandud Mall provided tarpaulin, but the place they were at was not a place for reasoning.

Daphne glanced at Robert in disgust.

She truly disliked such a reckless person who thought they knew a little bit of something but dared to do anything.

Mario ignored Robert and glanced at Daphne, asking, "Ms. Walters, is this also someone who works at your store?"
