"You have quite a reputation as a successful young man. I'm impressed." Chase poured himself a glass of wine and saluted towards Finnick.
Finnick respectfully poured himself a glass too and gazed back at Chase.
They toasted and both emptied their glasses in one go.
"Mr. Neville, let's talk business then."
Finnick was a little impatient as his mind was thinking about Vivian being alone at home. He was looking to close that important deal in the fastest way so that he could head back.
If it was up to him, he would definitely cut off all the unnecessary nonsense and go straight into it right away.
Unfortunately, he knew there would always be some formalities in the world of business. That was why he would always try to avoid any social event if he could.
Another thing he hated about social events was that there would always be women.
As he did not want Vivian to overthink, normally, he would not attend them.
"Okay, since you've put it that way, let us stop beating around the bush."
Chase had learned that Finnick was not the type who fancied social events.
Meanwhile, Vivian was diligently preparing a soup that she recently learned back home. She could not wait to have it together with Finnick once he reached home.
The meeting turned out to be brief but efficient, as both parties were already certain of what they wanted.
They agreed to sign a contract at a press conference three days later.
However, seeing all those years of hard work ended up in another person's hands, Finnick could not help but feel disappointed.
But since the matter had escalated as such, he was left with no other option.
"Hey, why aren't you back yet?” An obviously impatient Vivian called to check up on him.
