Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even though the president of Edward's company stated that he was in charge of company sales, the president later reminded Edward that he had nothing to do with sales. Therefore, the statement made by the president cannot be considered as an official designation of Edward as in charge of sales. As a result, there is no contract between Edward's company and the supplier, and the contract exists only between Edward and the supplier.
