After the termination agreement meeting with James Russell, Amelia escorted him out of the building. When she returned five minutes later, Poul Nielsen, the CEO of the company, noticed the puzzled expression on her face.
"Mr. Nielsen, if I may ask, why did you agree to sell your patent to James Russell for one hundred thousand dollars? You know it's worth more than that," Amelia asked.
"Because Amelia, since our relationship with Mr. Russell is not good at the moment, I figured that it would be best to cut ties with him. He has the capability to ruin our business because we are associated with the direct current motor he is distributing. I don't want to take that chance and regret it knowing that I could have prevented it sooner," Poul explained. "I'm sure, Jonathan would come to the same conclusion as mine."
Amelia was taken aback by Poul's decision. "But, Mr. Nielsen, you are losing a lot of money once that royalty payment is gone."
