Ever since the two had dinner together, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them in the business world. Nathan needed resources, while Patrick needed experience.
Their mutually beneficial relationship led Nathan's company to gain an increasingly larger market share, while Patrick made a name for himself by securing several big deals.
One day, with Nathan's help, Patrick closed another significant deal and received several commendations from his usually stern father during a meeting.
Being acknowledged made Patrick very happy. He thought about finding a time to properly thank Nathan, but before he could call him, Nathan reached out first.
"If you need any help, just let me know!" Patrick said cheerfully. Nathan smiled lightly, maintaining his usual calm demeanor.
"Since you're offering, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll host dinner tonight; come join me."
