In the evening, Francesca Willis had prepared a table full of delicious dishes early on, and Anna Green and Daniel Green were also waiting in the living room long before.
Just waiting for Samuel Gren to come home, so the family could happily enjoy a meal together. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Reportedly, today’s the day they would finalize the details of the collaboration with Nathan Bennett.
If this major deal goes through, then the Green Family will be ascending to great heights.
And while a few of them were entirely caught up in this grand prospect, they completely forgot that there was another person in the house.
Bella Green indeed, as Francesca Willis mentioned, hadn’t left her room all day, and was engrossed in her phone, playing games all day, not even coming out for dinner.
It was nearly seven when Samuel Gren came home, but the smile from the previous day was absent from his face, causing a bit of unease among the few of them.
The joyful atmosphere began to dissipate somewhat.
Francesca Willis was the first to step forward, asking with some anxiety.
"Honey, what happened? Weren’t we supposed to finalize the contract with Nathan Bennett today, why..." Do you seem unhappy?
Samuel Gren glanced at her, frowning without speaking, and plopped down on the sofa.
"We were supposed to finalize the contract, but..." Samuel Gren spoke with a heavy tone.
Hearing the "but," Francesca Willis immediately became anxious.
"But what? What happened, did Nathan Bennett’s side backtrack?"
Samuel Gren’s expression became somewhat peculiar upon hearing these words: "Yes and no."
Anna and her siblings were equally anxious for this answer, immediately asking.
"Dad, what does ’yes and no’ mean? Did it work out or not?" Daniel Green couldn’t help but ask.
He was still thinking about meeting the legendary President Bennett during the signing.
"Oh my." Samuel Gren, slightly irritated by the questioning, suddenly stood up, his voice rising.
"Nathan Bennett’s side suddenly changed their tune. Initially, there was verbal confirmation for collaboration with us, but they suddenly mentioned being pressured by several companies that have been continuously collaborating with Nathan Bennett.
So, Nathan Bennett is hosting a banquet at Royal Court Hotel this weekend, and he’ll select the most suitable collaboration company at the banquet."
The few of them were taken aback upon hearing this, unable to understand why a settled matter suddenly changed.
"How did this happen? Wasn’t it said that President Bennett greatly appreciates Daniel and it was already decided? Why suddenly reconsider?" Francesca Willis became anxious.
The originally joyful atmosphere suddenly took a downturn.
However, Anna Green remained the calmest, considered it, and then smiled and spoke: "Dad, don’t worry, this might not necessarily be a bad thing."
"Anna, what do you mean by that?" Francesca Willis quickly asked.
Upon hearing the question, Anna Green continued: "Dad previously said, Nathan Bennett’s response was that several companies they’re collaborating with are pressuring them; I think President Bennett might be doing this to give these companies a way out."
Listening to Anna Green’s analysis, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.
After all, such a large enterprise would surely not go back on its word, and Anna Green’s explanation seemed very reasonable.
After processing this, Samuel Gren was finally relieved and looked at Anna Green with a gratified expression.
"Anna is indeed the clever one."
Anna Green shyly smiled: "Dad just became overly anxious and overlooked this, but he would surely figure it out later."
Hearing this, Samuel Gren became even happier and laughed heartily: "When the time comes, our family will go together, and my daughter will surely be the most dazzling one at the banquet."
