My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 360

Looking at the group of people at the meeting table with different expressions, I was a little anxious. Irvin's words were a little too straightforward.

Fantasia Company had the potential to achieve all the requirements and would definitely not end up the way Irvin envisioned. After a long time, Sherman finally opened his mouth to speak. He looked at Irvin and asked, "Are you sure that you will invest in the development of Al, Mr. Granger?"

Irvin nodded and said, "Yes."

The rest of the people seated at the meeting table were all investors. They didn't know much about technology hence they didn't have much to talk about. They all looked at Sherman and waited for his answer.

After a long pause, Sherman stood up from his seat and walked towards Irvin. He stretched out his hand to Irvin and said, "Mr. Granger, hope that we would be able to work well."

My mind went blank for a moment before finally realizing what was happening. Did we really succeed?

Then, we proceeded to sign the contract. Both lawyers from both parties checked the contents of the contract. Sherman said to Irvin and me, "Both of you came from Jarold City, it must've been a long trip. Tonight we'll have a celebratory dinner at the Fortunate Restaurant, why don't the two of you come along?"

It's a usual thing to have a celebratory meal after a successful business deal. This was the culture of the business circle. If Sherman had not extended the invite first, Irvin would have done so.

There were still a few more hours before dinner. Irvin and I went back to our respective places. He went to the hotel while I headed for the villa.

It had been a very long time since I had returned to Flora Hill. Fortunately, there was a caretaker to assure that everything was in place. There have been many changes to the place since I've last been there.

When I arrived at the villa, the caretaker that Hendrix hired had cooked several dishes for me. I only had a few bites of them as I did not have much of an appetite. Then, I headed to the bedroom for a nap.

I was feeling drowsy and tired. I woke up at the crack of dawn that day and was sleep deprived as I did not have much sleep the previous night.

I fell into a deep sleep and vaguely felt that there was someone by my side. I thought it was just my imagination as I had fallen into a deep sleep, but after a while, the feeling was still there. It felt a little like sleep paralysis that I once had when I was younger.
