"Don't worry, I'm a woman of my word. It's a done deal!"
With Nancy's assurance, Cathy felt confident.
Nancy wouldn't be so certain if she didn't have the power.
Elena, your family is finished!
***
The next day.
Daniel personally visited the project offices at Aurelis Holdings.
Nancy was in her office when she heard someone from the Whelan Group had arrived.
She immediately had them shown in.
"Miss Vale, hello. I am Daniel Whelan, representing NovaTech Electronics under the Whelan Group."
Nancy didn't know the internal dynamics between the different branches of the Whelan family. She assumed Cathy had sent him.
So, she was extremely polite.
"Mr. Whelan, a pleasure to meet you. Would you like coffee or tea?"
"Tea is fine. I've come today to discuss a potential collaboration with your company..."
"I understand! Mr. Whelan, please, have some tea first!" Nancy was surprisingly hospitable.
This made Daniel feel a bit overwhelmed.
He hadn't expected the people at Aurelis Holdings to be so nice.
Daniel took a sip, and his secretary, Lily, brought out the proposal documents.
"Miss Vale, these are our company's credentials, and some..."
"No need to look at them, Mr. Whelan. I admire your company. Tell you what, I'll have someone prepare the contract right now. Let's set a time for tomorrow to sign it officially!"
Daniel was speechless.
Straight to signing?
That was too simple!
He had expected to be turned away or not even see a manager. After all, people lined up around the block to work with Aurelis Holdings.
"Who cares? As long as we sign. Dad, go early tomorrow just to be safe," Elena said from the side.
She knew exactly what was happening.
She had given Sean Maddox a heads-up.
The next morning.
Dylan came to pick Elena up for school.
Since he arrived early, Amanda invited him to have breakfast.
Dylan said he hadn't eaten yet and sat down to join them.
"Dylan, haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?" Daniel asked happily.
"Mr. Whelan, I was away on business for a bit. Everything is good. How about you? How is your company doing?"
"Good! Very good. I'm heading to Aurelis Holdings today! We're actually going to partner with them!" Daniel said with a touch of pride.
He had woken up early just for the signing.
Dylan frowned slightly. "Aurelis Holdings?"
