What the hell was their Chairman talking about? A… Cake Shop??? He could buy literally TRILLIONS of cake shops with his personal wealth, why would he suggest starting a Cake Shop, of all things? And as a solution to their current predicament? Has he gone insane?
All but Director Sands of course, who dropped his jaw in shock as well but for an entirely different reason. What the hell? He couldn't be serious, could he? He really wanted in on the "Empire" that his crazy granddaughter wanted to build around Elliot?
Chairman El'Taras looked at Director Sands evenly which indicated his seriousness despite his rather interesting choice of words.
The rest of the Directors were completely bewildered. They knew that their Chairman was being serious, but… A Cake Shop? There was no way he meant a literal cake shop. He must be referring to something else.
