Beyond the Divorce

After hanging up the phone, I glanced at Lauren. "We need to go back to the office."

Myra immediately reached out to take Charlie, holding him as they walked together to see us off. As if on cue, Charlie started crying when he saw us leaving.

I had to comfort him for quite a while before he finally looked at us with teary eyes, smiling. Lauren and I returned to the office after he fell asleep in Myra's arms.

I went straight to Ryan's office, and he explained the situation. I asked, "So, do you think we should take this collaboration?"

Ryan pondered for a moment. "There's no rush. Let's wait for his information. We can't afford to pass up business opportunities."

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "It looks like we share the same opinion."

"When you say 'we,' who exactly are you referring to?" Ryan asked.

I quickly briefed him on what Atticus had mentioned during the phone call. He contemplated and said, "It seems that Atticus has a plan. If he's deliberately hinting at us to create an impeccable design, he intends to use this proposal."

"My instincts tell me he's got something in mind. I can't figure out Melvern's strategy. We also don't know how deep this collaboration is."

"Let's watch and wait," Ryan said nonchalantly.
