Bernadette didn't know what else to say. She just stared at him in silence until the man opposite her spoke again.
"I think you don't understand how a partnership or an investment works but I will play along with you for a bit. What you want is some kind of flexible partnership with a company whose stock prices are already falling like rain drops.
"I want you to give me reasons to take the offer because I won't be making the decision alone, the board of directors would want to vote on this."
Bernadette sighed. She had thought that it would just be easy, she was the owner of this damned company for goodness' sake! She took a deep breath and thought for a while.
"Maybe the company is falling and even more so after Tracy's scandal but there's something interesting you should know." She paused then added, "Lee Corporation wants to buy shares from the company as well and why is that?"
Mr Hugo shrugged, "how would I know?"
