"Lisa, it's Jason from Nike," Jason's voice was tinged with a sense of urgency. "We need to have a serious discussion about Rakim. We realize our recent decision to distance ourselves might have been premature, and we're keen to reestablish our relationship with him. We're prepared to offer him a new, more attractive deal."
Lisa's eyes narrowed as she listened. "Jason, I understand the situation, but you must realize why we might have some trouble trusting you or anyone else from your side. Your previous decision has had significant repercussions on my son's perceived value."
Jason Hart took a deep breath, the weight of the conversation pressing heavily on him. "Lisa, I get it. We made a mistake, and I am sincerely sorry for that. We didn't anticipate Rakim's swift recovery and the ensuing media storm. What we're offering now is a revised proposal that we believe reflects his value and potential."
