Robbert's proposal was met with a momentary silence that seemed to hang heavy in the room.
The prospect of a partnership with Kallayan was a tantalizing one, but the cost of it, involving Lily, was not to be taken lightly.
Kallayan, the colossal biotechnology giant, was a coveted entity in the world of Moonshadow.
Its influence and wealth reached heights that very few could rival.
The prospect of securing a partnership with such a formidable family held the potential to elevate Xander's status within the elite circles of Moonshadow even further.
Xander, after a pause, leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled in contemplation.
His gaze remained fixed on Lily. The weight of the decision was palpable, and everyone in the room knew that Robbert's offer had placed Lily in a precarious position.
