Johnson said, “Here you go, Ms. Jody. I’ve updated the proposal. Please review them to see if there are any other issues.”
“All right,” Bonnie replied. Then, she took the documents and reviewed them.
Several minutes later, she returned the documents to Johnson and said, “They look excellent. Please print me a final copy and begin recruiting sponsors.”
Johnson took the documents and said, “Right away, Ms. Jody. Should we notify you once we have a list of potential sponsors?”
After some thought, Bonnie responded, “Yes, please send me the list when it’s ready.”
Johnson nodded. “You got it, Ms. Jody.”
…
The following day, Bonnie received the list of potential sponsors. She was surprised to see Ivor’s company on it. She recalled him wanting to establish a good relationship with the university president.
‘I thought he was joking, but he seems serious now and even took action. Considering my husband’s impressive track record in previous collaborations, I’m confident about working with him on this significant project. It’ll benefit us both.’
With that in mind, Bonnie picked up her phone to call Logan.
The latter eagerly answered, “Hello, Ms. Jody, how may I assist you?”
Bonnie explained why she called, “I’ve reviewed the potential sponsors you sent me. Let’s go with Mr. Ivor’s conglomerate. They’ve done well on our past projects and are a safe choice for one of this magnitude.”
Logan immediately agreed, “Understood, Ms. Jody. I’ll inform the others of your decision.”
Bonnie responded calmly, “All right, then.”
Meanwhile, Ivor was busy handling some documents in his study when he heard a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
Without looking up, he said, “Come in.”
Floyd entered and approached to report, “Mr. Ivor, we received a response from Pyralis University. They want us to sponsor their project.”
“That was quick.” Ivor was surprised. “I thought they’d take at least a couple of weeks to decide, especially since it’s such a considerable project.”
