Cole and Wilder were lounging in the office, finally getting the lowdown on this tech company. Wilder shook his head in disbelief.
"Dominic really blew through the Baldwin family's resources and cash. No wonder Uncle doesn't think much of him, and Grandpa doesn't even want to mention his name."
Cole's lips twitched slightly at that.
"Dad, what do you think?" Wilder asked.
Cole replied, "Well, Wilder, it looks like you've got a real knack for business. If you steer this company in the right direction, your grandpa might just hand over a few more for you to manage. Keep it up."
With that, Cole stood up.
"Dad, where are you going? This company is both of ours; you can't just drop it all on me."
Cole gave him a reassuring yet firm reminder. "Everything I've got will be yours someday, right? Get to know the ropes, draft up a business plan, and I'll check it out when I get back."
Ignoring Wilder's calls, Cole walked out of the office without a backward glance. Wilder leaned back in his chair, feeling overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, Josefina left home to meet up with Percy. The stuff they brought back from the field still needed some work, so Josefina decided to jump in herself.
Percy and three professors were knee-deep in work. After a while, when he saw Josefina all suited up, Percy felt he had to be straight with her.
"We've hit a few snags with our testing."
Josefina stepped forward. "Let me take a look."
Josefina dove into the experiment, starting from scratch. Percy and the professors kept quiet, not wanting to break Josefina's concentration. They didn't even dare move, worried Josefina might notice and boot them out.
Josefina's focus was intense, and by the time she wrapped up the experiment, the four of them were left speechless.
Was it really done?
Done?
Finished??
The professors whispered among themselves.
"She's amazing."
