"Waiter, I'll get black coffee for me, no sugar," Samuel ordered.

Soon, the coffee was brought to him. He took a leisurely sip.

"Your choice of coffee shop is commendable, Ms. Landon. The coffee has a rich flavor and tastes great."

Smiling, Jessica replied, "Then I must invite you for coffee more often in the future."

"That sounds like a good idea."

The two went back and forth, neither willing to concede.

Jessica had initially thought Samuel would be easy to manipulate, but she was somewhat surprised by his resilience.

However, she wasn't easily fooled either.

As they finished their coffee, Jessica stood up and suggested, "Mr. Walker, it seems we have nothing left to discuss. Shall we call it a day?"

Samuel smiled and slowly put down his coffee cup. "Ms. Landon, let's not be hasty. Don't you agree?"

"Oh? Do you have any advice?"

Samuel said calmly, "Since we're discussing a partnership, mutual trust is the first step. From your behavior just now, it seems you don't trust me much."

Seeing Samuel's direct approach, Jessica decided not to beat around the bush either. The two shared a common goal, so there was no need for pretense.

She sat back down and admitted, "You've caught me, Mr. Walker."

"It's okay. It takes time to discuss a partnership."

Jessica decided to get to the point. "You're a wise man, so I'll be straightforward."

"Please, go ahead."
