As they got to Julie's office, There was a sign on top of her office with these words CEO'S OFFICE written boldly on it. When they got to the door, Nessa slightly knocked on the door and Julie told them to come in. His assistant thanked Nessa and went after his boss.
"Hello,welcome. please you can have a seat" Julie said as she stood beside the coffee machine preparing some for them.
" Hello, Thanks" He said as he sat on the sofa with his assistant standing beside him.
"You can also take your seat" Julie said as she approached them and handed the cup of coffee to them. Theo glanced at his boss and when he got the nod of approval, he also sat down.
"Welcome and am very pleased to have you here today" Julie said with a radiant smile.
" of course, I never go back on my words" He added with a smile.
" So how should I address you?" Julie asked with a gentle smile.
" My name is Nick Thompsons and am the CEO of Thompsons group of companies but you can just call me Nick" He said casually.
" So Mr. Nick let's get into business or?" asked Julie.
" You can just call me Nick,Theo give her the documents" Nick replied with seriousness.
After that, Theo presented all the detailed information for their cooperation and investment.All this time, Julie didn't actually know who exactly Nick was and so she remained calm as ever. After going through the detailed business plan, she called Magret to her office and agreed to sign the deal.The investment provided the museum with unlimited resources.The partnership also helped the gallery to rise up in fame and business.
Just as Magret entered the office, She widened her eyes with surprise.During that time Julie and Nick were also talking about the business conditions and were almost about to sign the deal.
"Since it's less than a year since you established the gallery and am also just branching into the art industry, I hope we work hard enough and rise on top of the art industry not just in America but we must be known across the world. I will provide you with the best resources and support and you will focus on delivering the best. Is this okay with you?" Nick asked with a serious expression.
" As long is you give us the support and resources, I won't let you down" Julie also added seriously and then they signed the contract.
" It's a good thing we got to sign the deal and I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you" Nick said as he extended his hand to Julie.
" I look forward to our pleasant cooperation and thank you so very much" Julie smiled as she shook his hand.
" Can you give her your contact so that you guys will get to know each other very well" Magret said awkwardly.
" It's a good idea, I would love to know more about you. what do you think about this idea Miss Julie?" Nick said with an alluring smile.
" Why not, I would be pleased to" Julie said calmly and they exchanged contacts.
After they left, Magret quickly asked Julie of how she got to catch the big shark but then Julie asked her about which big shark because she couldn't quite get what Magret said.
"I mean Nick Thompsons, how did you get to invite him to the galarry and even got him to invest in us" Magret asked with curiosity.
" He is the one I met at the gallery yesterday, The one who didn't tell me his name. Wait how did you know his name" Julie asked a little puzzled.
" Don't tell me you don't know who he is" Magret asked in surprise.
"Who is he, is he a big shot and besides I only got to know him yesterday" Julie exclaimed.
" He is the CEO of Thompsons group of companies. I got to know about him from the contacts I made yesterday. I also saw it on the official site of the Art association today announcing his decision to invest in the art industry. They even said he came to the art exhibition and checked out all the gallaries that attended but didn't reveal himself and as not many people know him, it was quite easy for him to roam inside without anyone recognising him" Magret said happily.
" What?, I never knew about that and besides he approached me first and even named my artwork as THE MELANCHOLIC MOUNTAIN"Julie said.
" Wow then you are very lucky. I guess he was drawn by your beauty and brains" Magret said as she winked at Julie.
" How can he be drawn by me?" said Julie with a doubth.
" I guess you should get to know him better and think about it, You are just new in the art business but he chose to work with you instead." Magret said as she sat on the sofa.
" Maybe he just want to grow up in the art industry together and so am going to really make good use of this opportunity" Julie said with determination.
" I guess after it's announced later, many gallaries will be jealous of us . some may even turn as our enemies." Magret said with concern.
" Yes but let's leave those things for the future but as of now, let's celebrate this big achievement." Julie said with excitement.
After Nick and Theo left the museum,Theo asked his boss why he invested in that gallary when there were a lot more better ones but Nick just told him that he saw a future in Julie. He saw that potential in her which makes him think she will make it big in the future so it was good to provide her the platform now than when she becomes big later that way they will benefit in the long term.
That day, The ten staff at the museum celebrated their success and encouraged themselves to work hard because there was more to come in the future. Julie also announced that she was going to raise their pay.That day was a good day for all of them and the start of Julie's romance journey.
