"I'm sorry, Mr. Fletcher. Our founder has just returned to Krontos. That's why Mr. Reilly had to cancel his appointment abruptly." Wesley smiled while taking off his suit and sat beside Ned.
"The founder of Vitality Biotech Group?" Ned passed the glass of wine to Wesley. "Are they here for our collaboration?"
Wesley shook his head. "I don't know. Mr. Reilly didn't say anything, but I guess so!"
"I wonder if I have the pleasure to have a meal with the founder of Vitality Biotech Group," Ned asked with a smile.
"I'll talk to Mr. Reilly about this!" Wesley replied. "But Mr. Reilly mentioned before the founder is obsessed with laboratory work. Mr. Reilly and Mr. Burns of the Yurope Division usually manage the company matters. I'm unsure if the founder would agree to meet with you."
Ned looked surprised. "Based on what you said, haven't you met the founder before?"
Wesley nodded. "Of course not! A small fry like me will never get the chance to meet them! I believe only Mr. Reilly and Mr. Burns have personally met the founder in all Vitality Biotech Group."
As if in deep thought, Ned slowly nodded before clinking his wine with Wesley.
After Ned took a sip of the wine, Wesley's phone rang. He quickly picked it up and said, "Hello, Mr. Reilly. Yes, I'm with Mr. Fletcher right now."
Ned heard his name and looked at Wesley.
"Yeah… What? Okay, I'll let Mr. Fletcher know!" Wesley hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Ned asked.
"Mr. Fletcher, did Fletcher Corporation work with Yates Group for our project?" Wesley asked.
"Yes, we did. We collaborated because the deadline of the project was too tight. Plus, the contract didn't mention we aren't allowed to collaborate with Yates Group!" Ned put down his wine glass. "But something went wrong with Yates Group. So in the end, Fletcher Corporation finished the project ourselves."
"Well, are you aware that Tommy of Yates Group sold Vitality Biotech Group's formula?" Wesley asked.
