Not long after, the representative of the other side came.
He was a French,while his assistant and another bosses were not. Cathy felt a little bit familiar with one tall man,but she was not able to recall where she had met him.
But that man definitely recognized her,and called her with smile:" sister Cathy”.
Finally Cathy recognized him,seeing his smiled gentle eyes.
He was her fellow brother Matt Spenser,who once was her father's student and had worked in the court. But later he moved to Switzerland because of his family's business,never coming back.
"Matt." Cathy replied him with smile.
They didn’t continue talking with each other while in business negotiation,even if they know each other.But they can communicate when free in private.
Cathy sit behind Mr. Bruno,listening carefully what the counterpart is saying and translating it to Mr. Bruno.Then she translated his reply in French to the other side.
That requires a high ability of listening.Besides,every country’s language is different. That means translating one language to another will make a little differences.Cathy managed to make the translation brief to make sure both sides could understand.
During the middle of the negotiation, everyone was interested in toast.Cathy drunk the toast on behalf of Mr. Bruno.She was in her period.Continuous drink of cold wine make her uncomfortable,as her face turned pale.
Matt Spenser had seen that.He turned to the representative’s ear and said something.Then they drunk less wine and instead ate more dishes. Cathy took a relief and felt much more comfortable.
In less than an hour and a half, the negotiation was basically over and both sides signed the contract.
There being nothing to do with her, Cathy consulted Mr. Bruno and went out to the bathroom.She intended to have a smoke but found she didn’t bring her bag,so she just washed her hands and left.
In the corridor, She met Matt Spenser.
