Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 409

"Mr. Gregory, are you sure they're really looking to work with us?" One of the shareholders couldn't hide his excitement.

Gale Corporation, nestled in the bustling Maple Grove, wasn't exactly top-tier—just a solid mid-level company. Over the years, with its decline, it had become even less noticeable. The idea of Stonnell International and Club 257 wanting to team up with Gale Corporation was like a dream come true.

"Absolutely. They've already called to express their interest. They'll be visiting tomorrow for a site tour and to sign the contract," Mr. Gregory confirmed.

A few shareholders who had always looked up to Gregory quickly chimed in. "And they said they're doing this because of Mr. Gregory's reputation, willing to give Gale Corporation a shot."

The room was a mix of emotions. No one had expected Gregory to have such close connections with these major players. Some neutral shareholders began to waver.

Everyone had heard about Aisha's struggles to secure investments; no company was willing to entertain her proposals. Despite her talent, her lack of a solid foundation was evident. Gregory, on the other hand, was a different story. With years of business experience and now connections with both Club 257 and Stonnell International, it seemed Gale Corporation's future was in Gregory’s hands.

Aisha stayed silent, though her frustration was clear. She hated feeling powerless.

"Clay, maybe you didn't hear, but when they called, they made it clear they're not really interested in the project. They agreed to invest solely because of Mr. Gregory. Having Aisha lead the reception might come off as Gale Corporation not taking this seriously," another shareholder argued, siding with Gregory.

"For the good of Gale Corporation, let Mr. Gregory handle the reception. He's more familiar with the folks from Stonnell International and Club 257. Plus, his social skills are more refined than yours, Aisha. Please send Mr. Gregory a copy of your program's source code later and explain your thought process," they concluded, leaving no room for Aisha to object.

Aisha scoffed internally. They wanted her to hand over the program she’d poured her heart into to Gregory, as if her contributions meant nothing.
