"Layla, when your Daddy and I were in love, he had made many promises to me before, but they all became the butt of a joke later on." Avery did not want to upset Layla, but she also did not want her daughter to trust other people's words so easily and get disappointed.
"If there comes a time when he does lie to me, I will not let him go!" Layla puffed her cheeks up and said, "If he doesn’t stick to his promise, I won't want him anymore!"
Avery caressed Layla's head. "Don't think so much about this. Let’s go out and have some fun."
"Hmm."
In Bridgedale, Elliot and Natalie arrived at the Dream Maker building to meet up with the managers of Dream Maker to discuss the collaboration.
They were invited into the guest room and told to take a seat. The secretary poured them some water.
"Mr. Foster, Miss Jennings, I never thought that you would be so punctual. We initially wanted to tell you beforehand, but after thinking about it, we thought it would be better to tell you in person." The manager smiled and informed them of their decision, "Last night, we told our boss your proposal, and he refused to collaborate."
Elliot was not surprised by this outcome, but Natalie did not want to give up just like that. "I want to know the reason why your boss has rejected us. Could your boss be so rich that he doesn't need any money? With our investment, Dream Maker could be bigger."
"Our boss didn’t tell us the reason. We don't know what he is thinking, too," the manager said. "You should have heard that our boss is a little special. His thoughts are usually quite different from other people's."
"That means, your boss is so rich that he doesn't need investors." Natalie gave up completely.
"Not necessarily so," the manager said honestly. "The company has been going on for two years. We have conducted several fundraisers during the first year. If our boss doesn't need money, we would not have done so, but we are indeed in a position where we don’t lack money. Many investors have come to us on their own. We have many choices."
"Oh? Have you never met your boss before? " "Never. We only contact him through his assistant or emails or phone calls."
Elliot could not help but ask, "What is your boss' name?"
The manager sent them off
