It did not matter to Amos whether or not Claire secured the contract.

If Claire could get a contract signed, it meant she was a capable woman. Naturally, Alpha Ventures would be easy for her to govern. If Claire could

not secure a contract, then Robert would remain as chairman of the company just like before. While Amos would not earn a lot of money during Robert’s term, he would not be left starving to death.

Claire glanced down at the fingers clenched around her shirtsleeve and gently patted Matt’s shoulder with her other hand. “I don’t worry about that with you around. I just need to appear at the end. Once the pig is done roasting, let’s enjoy the meat together.”

“Ah, the pig is so big that it will last us for years.”

Matt wickedly laughed before accepting a bag covered in images of cartoon characters from one of the men in the back. As he shoved the bag into Claire’s hands, he said, “It’s filled with your favorite snacks. See you at Solstice Industries the day after tomorrow, Boss.”
