Carlisle said, "Stop giving me all that sentimental nonsense and start eating."
"Whatever you say, Carlisle!" Sean grinned. He shoved the check into his wallet and picked-up a fork as he
fell into a comfortable conversation with Carlisle.
They were halfway through their meal when Carlisle received yet another call, this time from Lethan.
"Hey, Carlisle. Are you free tonight? Let's grab a meal with a few other stakeholders so that we can go over the work to be carried out," Lethan suggested.
"You guys go ahead without me. I'm a little tied up at the moment," Carlisle replied.
"Alright. Also, I'm going to need you to rustle up the 50 million dollars. I've already put in the remaining 50
million dollars," Lethan informed.
Carlisle proposed, "Sure. I'll be done with classes by lunchtime tomorrow. Why don't you come over then
and I'll hand you the check?"
"Sounds good. I'll leave you to your business then. See you."
Inside a private dining lounge at Imperial Hotel, Lethan was having dinner with Shania and Nathan when
he made the call to Carlisle.
After hanging up, he shrugged and addressed his companions. "Carlisle won't be joining us this evening. Guess it's just the three of us."
Shania asked, "Lethan, where did you get the 50 million dollars?"
Lethan sounded exasperated as he explained, "I demanded a couple of payments in advance. You have no idea how many clients I've pissed off just to get the money."
Shania sighed. "Go big or go home, huh? I hope this gamble works out because the alternative means suffering Josie's wrath,"
Taking a sip of his red wine, Lethan said in a steely voice, "Like I said, I trust Carlisle. The man's pulled off some amazing stuff."
Slicing through his rib-eye steak and popping it into his mouth, Nathan savored its tenderness as he asked, "Do we have a business proposal?"
"Yes. You can take a look at it and see if you have any questions. Shania pulled out the proposal from her backpack and handed it to Nathan.
He took it and read its contents, musing. "It seems we need an aquaculture expert."
Shania drew a sharp breath. "I completely forgot about that!"
She wanted to bury herself in a hole somewhere.
They couldn't very well raise fish in any random fish pond; they needed an expert
to oversee the temperature and quality control of the water.
Nathan went on to say, "We lack manpower for the construction, especially if we have only a month to finish building works
Pursing her lips, Shania said in dismay, "We still have time, don't we? We could save costs if we avoid
hiring too many workers, especially in this stifling hot weather."
*The northern region would start snowing by November, and since we can't predict when the cold wave
would arrive, we should probably make haste." Nathan countered.
"Fine, I'll add a few more construction teams to our current manpower," Shania agreed.
Never one to dawdle once a plan had been set, she couldn't be bothered with finishing her dinner and
immediately called up the company's project department.
"Ms. Warbane?" the person on the other line greeted.
"Wasn't there a guy by the name of Gerard Zahn who wanted a contract with us?
Do we know how his construction company is faring? Shania asked

"In that case, have him reach out to two other construction companies so that they could form something of a coalition. The work must be delivered in a month" Shania said. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

Shania asked, "Also, I need about eight more teams for our currenth for project. Could you make the arrangements?" The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
The person on the other line stammered, "Eight is."
"Can you or
r can you not make the arrangements? Shania demanded icily. "If not, you're
fired."
"I can." the person on the other line said cautiously. "But I need three days.
"You only get one," Shania countered
