"Call me Lance," he said, shaking Debbie’s hand lightly. "It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, ma’am."

Debbie was impressed with Lance, and she warmly invited them to sit. "Can I get you something to drink?"

Vaughn glanced at Lance, who smiled. "We just had coffee before coming here, so I’m good, thank you. What about you, Mr. Vaughn?"

"Vaughn!" Vaughn corrected firmly. He cared about being addressed by his name. "I’ll pass as well, thanks!"

Debbie then sat opposite them and got to the point. "So, gentlemen, what brings you here?"

Vaughn nodded toward Lance, who explained, "I’ve rented a plot of land near the industrial area and plan to open a clothing factory. However, I’ve never done this before, so I need skilled workers."

Debbie perked up. "How many jobs are you creating at the factory?"

"About 150," Lance replied.
