Chapter 78: Send Help
"Alright." John nodded slowly but with finality. "Give me twenty-four hours. I’ll have my team review the documents. If the numbers hold up, I’ll send a revised draft for approval."
"That’s fair," Gray replied. He let out a sigh and nodded.
’That’s a better response than no. At least I got a chance.’ He thought as he continued to show a formal smile on his face.
Aaron, who was still seated to the side, began collecting the pages John had looked through. His hands moved quickly, his eyes flicking between the pages and Gray like he wanted to ask something but knew better than to interrupt.
John stretched his arms slightly and loosened the top button of his collar, the formal look in his posture was finally relaxing. The meeting had gone well and there was no time wasted.
Now that their agenda was done, the atmosphere in the private room also became lighter.
"I’ll admit," John said as he sat back down, this time with less formality, "it’s not every day I walk into a meeting expecting a basic review and end up getting hit with a full-scale negotiation file."
Gray gave a short laugh. "Sorry if that caught you off guard."
"No, no." John chuckled as he waved his hand dismissively. "It’s actually a pleasant surprise. I heard that you’re still new, but I didn’t expect you to be this prepared. It’s really nice looking at it"
"I appreciate that," Gray said. He pulled his chair in slightly, settling more comfortably. "I’m still new and not that experienced so I figured I’d better not come to this meeting half-ready."
"That’s good. At least, you’re learning aren’t you." John let out a soft chuckle.
