"Honey."
There was a brief silence on Tristan's end before he simply hummed, "Mhm."
He hung up first. Nova didn't think much of it. She locked her screen and reviewed the shortlist of the best potential corporate partners she had curated.
Aside from the Forrester Group, the most promising options were Eterna Corp., under the Clayton Group, followed by Core Scientific, owned by Caspian Caldwell.
Nova had no reason to turn away good money, so...
"Samuel, why don't we try talking to Chairman Roland Clayton? Professor Hickey is currently completely unreachable at his research base."
If she tried to negotiate directly with Chuck Clayton or Caspian Caldwell...
Given their preconceived biases planted by Yvette, they likely viewed her as the villain. The negotiations would probably be hostile from the first word.
Samuel glanced at the list and nodded. "You're willing to work with those two companies?"
Nova nodded. "I don't mix personal grievances with business. When you open your doors, making money has to come first."
Samuel smiled at her mature, rational approach. "Alright then. Spend the next few days prepping. When the Clayton family's cruise gala rolls around, we'll go in armed with our best offer."
Even as he said it, Samuel knew the advice was unnecessary.
Nova didn't need reminders. When she committed to something, she executed it flawlessly. She was never all talk.
True to form, she stayed at the office that entire night, pulling an all-nighter.
Fueled by fresh ideas, she didn't feel a hint of fatigue.
Even though Nova had spent the last month on postpartum recovery, she hadn't wasted a second. When she was advised to rest her eyes, she listened to academic papers and research documents through her headphones, relaying the core concepts and critical data to Chloe so she could learn alongside her.
In just one short month, Chloe had made monumental progress.
She was now Nova's most reliable right-hand woman. Nova was already planning to hand the massive Pearce Medical project over to Chloe, acting only as a guiding consultant.
