"I heard that you're not interested in selling, which is why I won't bring that up," Charlie said. He decided to cut to the chase and said, "I'd like to become a shareholder."
Avery's eyes instantly lit up.
"Are you serious about this, Mr. Tierney?" she asked.
"Of course, I am. However, there are two things I need to discuss with you before we sign the contract," Charlie said as he pulled out a document. "This is a proposal that my team and I put together. Tate Industries won't make it for long if it continues on its current course. We're running a business, not a charity. Firstly, only profit can ensure a company's sustainability in the long run." 1
Avery pulled out the document from the folder and roughly sifted through it, and said, "Can I bring this proposal back and discuss it with my team, Mr. Tierney?"
"Of course." 1
"Thank you," Avery said as she picked up her glass and took a sip of water.
She then stared earnestly at Charlie and asked, "What was the other matter you wanted to discuss?" 1
Before she arrived, she did not expect their meeting to
go this smoothly.
Now that the most important part of their meeting was settled, she finally felt like a weight was lifted off of her shoulders.
"I'm Chelsea Tierney's brother," Charlie said honestly." I'm her half-brother, to be exact."
The second those words escaped his mouth, the calmness on Avery's face instantly vanished.
Chelsea Tierney... Charlie Tierney... 2
It was no wonder that she felt there was something familiar about Charlie.
He was Chelsea's brother all along!
Avery had never gotten along with Chelsea, and now, her brother wanted to invest in her company...
Was this a joke?!
