Chapter 363 Contract Signed
As they awaited Gael’s contract, the manager and Bry’s father quickly fell into an animated discussion about horses. It became clear that both shared a deep passion for equestrian pursuits, which was no surprise given their professions. Their conversation was lively and engaging, revealing a mutual enthusiasm for horses and the sport.
Before long, they reached a promising agreement: Bry’s father would have the opportunity to tour the stables and examine the horses at the racecourse. This arrangement set the stage for a fruitful collaboration, aligning their shared interests and expertise.
Since many socialites had purchased horses from the racecourse, the number of horses available for sale or rent had dwindled. Hera’s arrival was thus perfectly timed, addressing a pressing issue for the manager. He had been actively seeking reputable breeders with champion horses, making Hera’s offer particularly valuable and opportune.
He had been considering reaching out to the recent owner of the champion horses, hoping to purchase one for exhibition at the racecourse. His goal was to invigorate interest and excitement among visitors by showcasing these exceptional horses, rather than relying solely on the coffee beans to attract attention, which had become a dilemma for him.
’This is a racecourse for God’s sake! Not a coffee plantation!’ He thought.
But Hera appeared like a savior, addressing both of his concerns with one solution. By bringing in the people he needed and alleviating his workload, she proved the wisdom of aligning with the right people to simplify one’s challenges.
After their discussion reached a satisfactory conclusion, the manager offered to give Bry’s father a tour of the facility to familiarize him with the stables and the horses. Meanwhile, the manager’s assistant returned with the revised contract for Gael. She handed Gael a physical copy to review and also provided a digital copy for him to share with his lawyer, ensuring that both versions matched precisely.
Although Gael was reluctant, the manager insisted, saying, "Young one, no matter how much trust you place in your business partner, you must always scrutinize every document thoroughly, whether it’s a digital or physical copy of the contract. Even a minor oversight can cost you significantly and potentially lead to bankruptcy if unscrupulous individuals exploit it. Remember, business is a battlefield where you can never let your guard down." The manager’s stern advice underscored the importance of vigilance in business dealings.
Gael felt embarrassed but nodded in understanding. He was hesitant to scrutinize every detail of the documents because he trusted the Avery’s and didn’t want to appear insincere or suggest that he doubted their integrity. He feared that his meticulous checking might come across as a lack of trust, making him uncomfortable with the idea of seemingly preparing for betrayal.
As Gael nodded, the manager smiled amiably and agreed, giving him time to review and verify the contract to ensure everything matched what had been written. After a while, Gael’s phone chimed with a message from his lawyer friend, who had given the contract a thumbs-up. This reassured Gael that there were no issues or hidden clauses that could pose a problem.
