Harold understood Lennox's intentions. Though embarrassed, he had to press on for Henderson Group's sake, so he forced himself to present his prepared gift.
"Mr. Cavanaugh, I happened to acquire this reishi mushroom from a friend. I hope you'll accept it."
Harold's gift to Lennox was a premium reishi mushroom worth over 100 thousand. It was neither too modest nor extravagant as a gift for a client. Seeing his choice of gift, Yolanda finally understood why Harold had once qualified as a potential heir to the main Henderson family in Creybia.
"That's thoughtful of you, Mr. Henderson."
Lennox did not reach for the gift box. During his illness, many people had sent him expensive herbs and tonics. Even a reishi mushroom that was worth six figures hardly impressed him.
"You probably know I came to Riverdale for two reasons. First, I'm here to ask Dr. Smith's team to treat my heart condition. Secondly, I'm going to discuss a partnership with Cinnamine Pharmaceuticals to sell their health products in our pharmacies."
Lennox changed his tone. "As for other matters, I'm not interested for now. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
He only agreed to see Harold out of respect for the main Henderson family in Creybia. Otherwise, he might not have even let Harold through the door.
"I understand, which is why I brought a doctor to help ease your concerns, Mr. Cavanaugh."
Though displeased with Lennox's attitude, Harold had to remain humble. He forced a smile and explained, "Mr. Cavanaugh, this is my daughter Yolanda. She owns Willow Creek Clinic. You may not know it, but it's a renowned traditional medicine clinic in Riverdale with over a century of history..."
Harold was now hoping that Yolanda could cure Lennox's illness and change his opinion.
