Sunday at 10 a.m.
Edwin picked up Brooklyn and Cordelia in his Audi from the downstairs of their apartment building. Their destination was a factory located in a suburban area that had developed in recent years. The area was predominantly filled with factories, and it was spacious with very few people around.
They arrived at 1 p.m.
Zach, the factory manager, warmly welcomed them, showed them around the workshop, and introduced them to the processors in detail.
"Can these computers delivered to Cedar Hollow?" Cordelia asked.
"Absolutely. We have a robust logistics system at our factory, Ms. Haselwood. You can rest assured."
Cordelia nodded in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, Ronan was sitting in the manager's office, monitoring the factory's surveillance footage. As soon as Cordelia and the others walked in, Ronan noticed them.
Seeing Edwin by her side, he thought to himself: Figures. His wife was a truly charming woman, always surrounded by different men.
The training course was over, and her relationship with Jamie was over. Now she was with Edwin.
"If I wanted to buy two hundred units, what would be the price?" Cordelia was impressed with the quality of the computers and the advanced logistics, so she wanted to place an order as soon as possible.
Edwin, who owned a gaming company and was very knowledgeable about computers, was also impressed with the factory's products.
Zach furrowed his brows slightly. "As for the price, I'm afraid that's out of my hands. We'll have to bring in the president for that."
"Do you mean Mr. Evens?" Cordelia remembered that the person she spoke with on the phone was Mr. Evens.
"Well, no, not him. Our company was bought out. We're going OEM, and it's the higher-ups in our parent company who call the shots. Let me give them a call." With that, Zach stepped away to make a phone call.
In the meantime, Cordelia was discussing the price with Edwin.
"If you're purchasing in bulk, it should be about 3500 bucks a unit. See if you can swing that," Edwin, being an expert in the field, suggested.
Cordelia nodded, thinking to herself that this time Brooklyn had made the right choice in seeking Edwin's help for the assessment.
