Shivering Cold

In the future, if Sonia faced any difficulties, she would no longer escape, and would go to Toby for help instead. However, she would remember every single time she received his assistance, so that she could return the favor in her own way. Only by maintaining this mutually beneficial relationship would she not feel any kind of burden.

At Sonia’s words, Charles was able to completely relax as well.

After that, Sonia lifted her glass of wine and looked at Brian. “Mr. Smith, please approve my application for a loan. I really need the funds to be in place today, as Paradigm Co. urgently needs the money. Your help would be much appreciated.”

Saying that, she lifted her glass of wine at Brian.

Smiling, Brian followed suit and clinked his glass with Sonia’s. “Don’t worry, I’ll instruct the bank later, and I’ll make sure that the funds will be in place before nine o’clock tonight by the latest.”

“That’s great. Thank you, Mr. Smith.” Sonia felt extremely excited and grateful. Then, as if recalling something, she bent over and lifted a gift box from the ground before handing it to Brian with both hands. “Mr. Smith, this is a small gift to thank you for your help. Please accept it.”

Before she arrived, she had found out that Brian’s biggest hobby was collecting antiques. Hence, she specially brought an antique vase from her house as a gift for him. After all, she had a favor to ask of him, so she couldn’t just show up empty-handed. That would just be rude.

Besides, preparing a gift that would satisfy the other party was also a trump card. What if they were unwilling to pass her application for a loan at first, but they changed their mind after seeing her gift? Even if they refused after seeing the present, they might still give her some other useful suggestions.

In short, a gift was a must no matter what, and nothing would go wrong with it. Besides, it would make the other party feel better about themselves. Even if they couldn’t work together this time, they might be willing to give her another chance because she had prepared a gift for them in the past. In any case, a gift was no longer only needed to achieve a certain purpose, but it was also a necessary step in the negotiating process.

Brian was not too surprised when he saw the gift from Sonia. After all, he had watched her walk in with a gift, and he knew very well that it was prepared for him. Hence, when he was faced with Sonia’s present, he did not refuse, but reached out to accept it with a smile.

If he didn’t agree to her loan, he would not accept this gift. However, now that he had agreed, then he would naturally have no qualms about taking the gift. Besides, this gift was a part of the negotiations, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to refuse. Now that he had accepted it, it was also a way to reassure Sonia that he wouldn’t go back on his word.

Sure enough, upon seeing that Brian took the gift, Sonia breathed a sigh of relief.

Brian placed the gift on the table and opened it to take a look. When he saw the antique vase inside, his eyes lit up. “Miss Reed, this is from the medieval era, isn’t it?”

“Yes.” Sonia nodded with a smile.

Brian’s face instantly lit up when he confirmed the vase’s origins. He couldn’t help but lift the vase to get a closer look. As he observed it, he gasped in awe, “The craftsmanship is really good. I never expected you to have a treasure like this, Miss Reed.”

Sonia calmly sipped on her wine while she replied with a smile, “Let me tell you something, Mr. Smith. My grandfather is an archaeologist, and this vase was awarded to him by the country, and he gave it to me as a birthday gift later on.
