Chapter 135 The Partnership Was Sealed

In the reception room, Richie looked over at Freya and Melvin with a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't the people from the last partnership discussion. If it were, he'd be forced to wear a smile despite feeling deeply annoyed.

"Please hold on for a bit," Richie said with a bright tone. "Our general manager will join us soon."

Freya responded calmly. "Okay."

After asking someone to keep them company, Richie made his way to the general manager's office.

He felt more at ease as he walked in. "Good thing it's not the same folks as last time. If it were, we'd be in for a rough time when the president gets here."

"Who's here?" asked the general manager, Chaz Fernandez.

"The new investment advisor from Briggs Group and her assistant," Richie replied casually. "Seems like Briggs Group is giving her a trial run with this deal."

"Don't let your guard down," Chaz cautioned, closing a folder. "Briggs Group's employees are tough negotiators."

Each negotiation with them felt like a battle, leaving him drained for days afterward.

At times, they considered cutting ties with Briggs Group, but the potential gains always lured them back.

Briggs Group apparently felt similarly; their previous team was relieved not to be the ones dealing with Shaw Group this time. Everyone knew dealing with Shaw Group was a formidable challenge!

Shortly after, Chaz, along with his secretary and Richie, made their way to the reception room.

They settled in, and the discussion on partnership officially commenced.

This meeting really showed Chaz and Richie what despair meant.

Melvin led most of the conversation, while Freya only spoke up during crucial moments. Her calm approach was effective, and her words were impactful.

Thirty minutes in, the negotiations were winding down.

Richie, drenched in sweat and smiling stiffly, said, "We'll take this back for further discussion and follow up with you. Is that okay?"

"That's fine," Freya responded softly, giving them ample time.
