"More than that, would it not be better to make a partner? What if I have more ideas for the future?" she lied as she smiled at the man. His pen moved between his fingers while he looked at Nora with a narrowed gaze.
"You are too young to be a partner. And kids could be flippant. I do not have patience to deal with them." Though he said so, he could see how sincere and calculative she was. Her every word held a value one could not ignore.
"Oh, i apologize if i gave that feeling, sir. But let’s leave my age for a second and talk about business." she smiled professionally and opened a docunt in her phone, "your company had covered forty percent market share in the gaming business till last year. But this year Mystic Gaming company has given you quite a competition and ten percent of your market is already stolen by them, bringing you to thirty percent while they have already reached twenty percent."
"From the last three months, every ga they have launched has been a great success and trust , if it continues you are going to suffer a fatal blow." In the past, you have already suffered from it and your health has deteriorated too. Victor had to take over the company at a young age and made a few gas but they all lost to Mystic. If not for this ga, you would have bankrupted.’ she added in her mind.
"But with this ga, you can return to the business and defeat them. Then we can plan to buy a few of their programrs and they will lose forever. But indecisiveness can cost you a long term loss." She passed the docunt to him and his eyes widened when he read the comparative sheet of both companies for the past two years.
Not only had she recorded the na of gas but she had even added the reasons for mystic success. He had already seen the ga she had designed. It not only had good action and attractive fighting styles with group battle and weapons but it also had a strong storyline. Sothing they were lacking. That was why Mystic company had targeted them.
His hunch that she had not designed the ga beca stronger as she kept reading the docunt and till the end his eyes shook.
"So, what do you think about it?" she asked but there was no hurry in her voice as if she knew that she had already won the case.
"Miss Nora, you are talking like your ga has already earned success. I am at the crucial point of my business. What if this ga proved fatal to ?" he pressed returning her phone to her. He had expected her to give excuses or boost the ga again but her lips only curled as she leaned on the chair and took the phone from his hands.
He had seen the smile so many tis on the faces of shrewd businessn. On his face too. But to see it on a young girl who should be clueless about the harshness of the world gave him chills.
"If that is the case, then I would take the lost amount as a loan and I would pay it back to you with interest." The confidence in her voice shook him and he paused.
"That..."
"Father, let’s launch the prototype to our few vip custors first. We can decide about the complete launch on the basis of its success?" Mr Jhonson finally took his gaze away from the girl and looked at his son. Truth to be told, he had already accepted Nora’s offer in his heart.
But he needed to maintain his image. So he was relieved when his son gave him leeway.
"Hmm, we can do that. And then we will decide about your share if we accept your offer, miss Nora."
"Twenty percent royalty. I apologize but that is not open for discussion." he shook his head at the decisive girl. Even the sincerity of his son faded in front of her.
"You are a tough nut to crack at such a young age. Your parents must be.."
"Father, mother scolded to keep Nora busy for a long ti. She is personally making chicken soup for her. It would be best if you help her or she is going to scold you too." Victor cut her father, making him frown. But when he heard about the chicken soup, he grunted and stood up hurriedly.
"It was nice talking to you young lady. Co again and share so pointers with my son too." he smiled at Nora before leaving the room with hurried steps.
Victor shook his head. All the image he had made for a long ti was shattered when Nora smiled amusedly looking at his father leaving.
"If you want to look tough, stop being scared of your mother." he muttered under his breath.
"I did not know you had prepared papers for my father." He was surprised to see the report too. Nora smiled and shook her head. In her past, she had made the mistake of being naive and believing others. In this life, she needed a lot of money to sever her ties with her family. How could she be irresponsible about it?
"Your mother is too kind." she whispered, making Victor chuckle.
"You should see her when she scold father for being so cold." he chuckled, "but her soup is heavenly. You will enjoy it." Nora looked away again. A certain young girl flashed her eyes who enjoyed drinking chicken soup too. She used to lick her lips after drinking it and smile so brightly.
Victor noticed the dim look in his eyes and cursed himself again. He had stopped his father from speaking about her family since he knew she had none. But now he was doing that too.
"Since you have already taken leave from the school, how about spending your weekend here?"
