Within ten minutes, one of the family members came out of the hospital room. "Please come in, Ms. Lewis."
Grace didn't forget to take the documents with her.
Eric was already awake. He lay on the hospital bed, looking at everyone through half-closed eyes.
Raymond gestured toward him. "Gracie, say hello."
Grace bowed. "Hello, Mr. Schultz. My name is Grace. Grace Lewis."
"I know you. I was planning to meet you after the meeting ended."
"That's not important. The most important thing is that you're safe and healthy."
"Not important?"
"In terms of my job, the safety of the leader of Frenda's citizens is the most important."
Eric's stern face broke into a smile as he looked at Raymond. "Ray, your goddaughter speaks very well."
Raymond was very proud. "As she should."
"I always repay my debts. You saved me. Tell me what you want."
He was very direct. Grace gripped the corner of her documents tightly. "Will you give me whatever I want?"
"You don't hide anything, do you?"
"To be honest, I did save you out of my own interest as well," Grace said lightly.
"In my country, we say that a debt has to be repaid many times over. If I don't ask for anything, it would make you uneasy, wouldn't it?"
Eric waited for her next sentence.
"So I'm just going to come out with it, and we can both move on." Grace looked at him.
If a favor could be solved with a transaction, things would be easier.
Eric nodded. "What do you want?"
Grace handed him the documents. "These are the documents regarding Byte Technologies' e-commerce business overseas."
Eric looked up at once, but he didn't take the documents. "Byte Technologies' ambition remains alive! I can't give you what you want, Grace."
This was a negotiation between countries. She was dreaming if she thought she could change it on her own!
In the chaos, Grace looked at Raymond. "Thank you, Uncle Raymond. Mr. Schultz might not have agreed if you hadn't helped move things along."
"You were the one with a sharp tongue. How come we never realized how good you were at business?"
Grace scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Since you're back in Frenda, come back with me. Let's go and see your Aunt Hestia."
Grace said quietly, "Aunt Hestia's forgiven you?"
Raymond clicked his tongue at once. "Now even you are making fun of me!"
Grace laughed. It was a good idea. She would go and visit Hestia now, and she could go and see Harold tomorrow.
On the way, she called Victor. Instead of answering the call, he sent her a text. "Grace, I'm very busy. Send me a text."
He was putting on airs.
Grace was annoyed and typed out a quick message. "Byte Technologies wants to enter the Frendish market, and they need to provide proof of information security. Help me out, Victor."
Victor sent over a voice message at once. "Gracie, I should've known that you wouldn't have good news for me!"
