"You're really good at laying it on thick!" Hans said for the umpteenth time today.
"No, that ain't flattery, mate. I genuinely think you're rad." Molly was saying that when someone passed by. She stopped talking and escorted Hans to the company's entrance, expressing deep gratitude towards him.
Once Hans was gone, Molly called Arabella.
"Bella, I've got a shindig tonight. You reckon this dress suits the occasion?"
"What kind of party?"
Not knowing what the occasion was, she wasn't sure if the dress would be appropriate.
Molly explained, "My grandpa set it up before he passed. Whenever there's a new management team, the old board members and shareholders throw a welcome bash."
Getting the picture, Arabella said promptly, "In that case, the dress is spot on."
"Bella, I got to thank you," Molly couldn't resist saying. "If it wasn't for you, Hans wouldn't have brought me back home, wouldn't have stood up for me when those old farts on the board gave me a hard time. And he's even willing to attend tonight's party. You don't know how much that means. It's basically a chance for the new CEO to show off their connections."
This was really surprising.
Thank goodness Hans agreed to go. Otherwise, she would be looked down on by those old geezers again.
After hearing her out, Arabella replied gently, "I'll have Jaime represent QY tonight. I've got some stuff to take care of."
Molly exclaimed, "What? No, I mean."
"I know," Arabella chuckled, "he'll discuss a possible collaboration with you."
Another collaboration?
