Catarina's expression remained neutral, but a hint of a smile played on her lips as she listened to Julian's antics. She raised an eyebrow at his dramatics, but her eyes sparkled with amusement.
"It's just business, Julian," she said, her voice smooth and even. "I'm glad the elixirs are doing well, but let's not get too carried away." Julian pouted, but his eyes shone with excitement as he leaned forward, his voice taking on a more serious tone.
"But, Kitty, this is huge. We're talking about a game-changer here. The market is going wild for your products, and we're making a killing. We need to keep the momentum going." Catarina's gaze never wavered, her eyes locked on Julian's as she nodded thoughtfully.
"I agree, but we need to be careful. We don't want to flood the market and cause a backlash. I want to see the numbers and make sure we're not overextending ourselves." Julian nodded, his expression serious as he pulled out a stack of papers and began to go over the figures with Catarina.
As they pored over the numbers, Catarina's eyes scanned the pages with a practiced intensity, her mind processing the data with ease. Julian watched her, impressed as always by her sharp business acumen.
"You're a genius, Kitty," he said, shaking his head in amazement.
"I don't know how you do it, but you always seem to know exactly what to do to make the numbers work." Catarina smiled, a small, enigmatic smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"It's just a matter of understanding the market, Julian," she said.
"And being willing to take calculated risks." Julian nodded, making a note on one of the pages.
"Well, whatever it is, it's working. We're making a fortune, and the demand for our products is only going to keep growing." Catarina's gaze never wavered, her eyes fixed on the papers as she nodded thoughtfully.
"I want to see the projections for the next quarter," she said.
"And I want to know what kind of competition we're facing. I don't want any surprises." Julian nodded, pulling out another set of papers.
"I've got everything right here, Kitty. Let me show you..."
"Look at this we all know Mage Hunter uses talisman this is a new talisman formation I created it's level is a 10," Catarina said as she sat the formula down for Julian to see his eyes widen. She is only seven teen years old! Not only that she is a single mother of three plus go to school how the hell does she do it all!?
Julian's eyes were still widened in shock as he stared at the formula, his mind reeling with the implications.
"This is...this is incredible, Kitty," he stammered.
"A level 10 talisman formation? You're a genius!" He looked up at Catarina, his eyes filled with a mix of awe and curiosity.
"How do you do it, Kitty? You're only 17, and yet...and yet you're creating something like this?"
Julian's gaze lingered on Catarina's face, searching for answers. He knew she was intelligent, but this was on a whole different level. He couldn't help but wonder what other secrets she was hiding, what other talents she possessed. He felt a pang of guilt for not knowing her better, for not understanding the depth of her abilities.
"Kitty, how do you balance everything?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.
"You're a single mom, you're in school, and yet you're creating something like this. You're a master of the arcane, and yet you're still so young. How do you do it all?" Catarina's expression remained calm, but a hint of a smile played on her lips.
"It's just a matter of prioritizing, Julian," she said.
"And making the most of the time I have."
Julian nodded, still trying to wrap his head around Catarina's incredible abilities.
"I see," he said, his voice filled with a mix of awe and skepticism.
"Well, whatever your secret is, Kitty, it's clearly working. This talisman formation is going to give us a huge advantage in the market." He paused, his eyes scanning the formula again.
"But we need to be careful. If this gets out, it could attract the wrong kind of attention." Catarina's expression turned serious, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"I know, Julian. That's why I've been working on this in secret. I don't want anyone to know about it until we're ready to release it." Julian nodded, his mind racing with the implications.
"I'll make sure to keep it under wraps, Kitty. But we need to think about how we're going to mass-produce this. We can't have you making each one by hand." Catarina smiled, a small, enigmatic smile.
"Leave that to me, Julian. I have a plan."
Julian raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Catarina's confident tone.
"Oh? And what's that?" he asked, leaning back in his chair. Catarina's smile grew wider, and she leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"I've been working on a machine that can replicate the talisman formation," she said.
"It's still in the experimental stages, but I think it has a lot of potential." Julian's eyes widened in surprise.
"A machine? You mean, like a manufacturing machine?" Catarina nodded.
"Exactly. With this machine, we can mass-produce the talismans without having to worry about the quality or consistency. It'll be a game-changer for our business." Julian whistled, impressed.
"Kitty, you're a genius. I don't know how you come up with this stuff." Catarina laughed, a soft, musical sound.
"It's just a matter of thinking outside the box, Julian. And being willing to take risks." Julian nodded, his mind racing with the possibilities.
"I think we're onto something big here, Kitty. Something that could change the course of our business forever."
"Kitty your adoptive family are fools! The reason now they have reached this level it's because you, everyone believed that you are an idiot, with really bad grades!" Julian said with a frown. Julian was twenty years old actually he was homeless kicked out of his home when he meant Catarina all she said was follow me and I will share my wealth and ever since this company was created haha it's so funny to think about it she was only sixteen years old with three year old kids.
"Julian it doesn't matter they took care of me for almost eighteen years for that I gave them what they wanted, now."
Julian's expression softened, and he nodded in understanding.
"You're right, Kitty. You repaid them for their kindness. And now, it's time for you to focus on your own life and your children. You've come a long way, and I'm proud of you." He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
"And I'm grateful to be a part of your journey. You took me in when I had nothing, and now...well, look at us. We're a team, Kitty."
"Alright I need to go now," Catarina she needs to go and pick up the triplets.
