Facts:
Engineer A is acting as the chief negotiator in the sale of a small engineering subsidiary to Engineer B.
Engineer A wants to move the negotiations forward to finalize the deal but Engineer B has been stalling.
Engineer C had expressed some initial interest in buying the subsidiary, but following consideration, Engineer C decided she was definitely not interested in purchasing the subsidiary.
In an effort to move the negotiations forward, referring to Engineer C’s earlier interest, Engineer A tells Engineer B, “Another company has expressed an interest in buying our subsidiary, so you had better move quickly if you are interested.”
