Claire was a little dispirited after ending the call.
Charlie asked out of concern, "What’s wrong?” 1
Claire briefly told Charlie about Lady Wilson's request.
Charlie nodded and suggested, “Why don't you ask Emgrand Group to prepay 20 million dollars for the project?"
Claire gasped in shock and said, "How can I do that?! They are out of our league, it's a pleasure to work with them, we will be looked down upon if we ask them to pay before the execution of the project."
Charlie shouted internally, 'Your husband owns Emgrand Group, how dare anyone look down on you for the mere 20 million dollars?!'
But Claire couldn't read his mind, she had no idea what he was thinking. 1
After a sigh, she said, "I think I’ll better go and talk to Mr. Koch.”
"I'll go with you."
"No, you can't,” Claire uttered, "Who brings their husbands to meetings? It's so unprofessional." 5
Then, she added, "Just stay at home, go out if you’re really bored. There's nothing much to do at home anyway."
Charlie decided to keep quiet after seeing her firm attitude.
He knew that his wife had always been an independent and dedicated businesswoman, she hoped that she could achieve many accomplishments with her own efforts. 2
It wasn't any harm to let her try her best. If it didn't work, he was always there to help her secretly. 4
