In Ida's office.
Ellinor was sitting at Ida's desk, diligently going through the company's financial reports for the last six months and a few of the most recent projects.
Ida called her secretary and asked her to prepare a glass of milk for Ellinor.
Ida took the milk from her secretary and personally handed it to Ellinor. "Have some milk before you continue reading."
Ellinor grunted in acknowledgment and took a sip of the milk, but her gaze never left the computer screen.
At that moment, Ida's phone rang, and she stepped aside to take the call.
After hanging up, Ida's facial expression became complicated. "Boss..."
Ellinor's gaze stayed fixed on the computer screen. "What's up? Spit it out!"
Ida adjusted her glasses. "The call was from the head of the Blanchet Corporation."
Ellinor's hand movement faltered; as expected, the Blanchet Corporation was knocking on their door.
"Hmm, what did the head of the Blanchet Corporation say?"
"The head of the Blanchet Corporation said that they're very satisfied with the new office building we designed and that they're interested in working with us again. The Blanchet Corporation plans to develop a new project soon, and they want us to undertake it, so they want to arrange a meeting to discuss it."
Ellinor looked up at Ida and asked. "What do you think?"
Ida also found the Blanchet Corporation's actions unusual. Normally, people in the industry would fight over their projects; it was rare for the Blanchet Corporation to actively seek out a partner.
