The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Eric could tell that the person on the other end of the line was undoubtedly authentic.

The temperament and demeanor exuding from the figure on the screen were just too genuine to be contrived. His heart raced suddenly, a flush of flattery coloring his cheeks. Restlessness pricked at him.

Delores Scott, Zara’s board secretary, glanced at the silence that had hung on Eric for an extended pause.

Seizing the moment, she tentatively inquired, “Mr. Robbins, can you hear me?”

Eric jolted back to reality, his words tumbling out, “Oh, I can hear you! Miss Riley, right? Hi, hello!”

Delores nodded, a gentle smile touching her lips. “Indeed, Mr. Robbins. I’ll get straight to the point. We’re here to discuss a matter of great importance. Our President, Miss Banks is interested in acquiring Celestial Group. I’d like to know if you’re open to the idea of selling. If so, we can delve into the specifics of the acquisition.”

Eric’s eyes gleamed with a starry hope, a glimmer in the night sky. His deepest desire was for a successor to take over, someone to spare him from selling off his life’s work for mere pittance.

He yearned to relish his twilight years in peace. Yet here, right before him, was the unexpected spectacle, the most prominent business dynasty in the country expressing their intention to buy his legacy. It was a surreal dream he would never have dared to weave.

So, he put away his usual airs of reluctance and answered, “I am indeed open to the idea of selling. The terms, however, depend on the offer the Banks Group puts forward.”

Delores’ smile remained affable as she responded, “Since you’re willing to consider, I’ll arrange for our Chairman, Miss. Banks, to speak with you personally about the price. I’ll have her join the call shortly. We can then hash out the details, and I’ll make sure to document the meeting minutes.”

Eric’s voice rang with awe, “Ms. Banks? You mean your Chairman, right?”
