The view outside the glass wall would be breathtaking if the atmosphere inside weren't so frigid.
The skyline glows behind the glass walls, but the energy inside the room is anything but warm.
Gwendolyn, confident without being cocky, sits across the table from - Tolliver Lee - Stan Lee's only son, and her Uncle in a way due to Stan and Jerry Siegel's brotherhood
Coming back, Tolliver is a man in his late forties. He sips from a lukewarm espresso, eyes skimming a page he hasn't turned in five minutes.
There is water on the table. Neither touches it.
"So, let's hear it." Tolliver began with animated hand gestures of money. "What kind of numbers are we talking about?"
Gwendolyn doesn't hesitate. She flips open the slim binder in front of her. "We are putting up $48 million. Split over three stages - $20 million up front, then the rest based on performance milestones over the next 24 months. Film development, licensing returns, and streaming integration."
"That's not a small change." Tolliver leans back. He wasn't expecting something that solid. He comments. "And what, you are just offering it... out of love for the brand?"
Gwendolyn corrected. "No. It's a business proposal."
