Beyond the Divorce

Noah Kent knew we were here and came to the construction site to meet us in person before we could ask to see him.

Noah was proud as he looked at the emerging New Bourdamun. He had built this single-handedly during his tenure. Anyone would feel proud looking at the new city rising from the ground.

I discussed the matter of Old Bourdamun with him. After thinking momentarily, he suggested that both companies join forces and invite their senior leaders to a project briefing.

I had no objections to this proposal, and Ryan and I agreed.

Noah promised to schedule the meeting and send out invitations to the senior leaders.

I readily agreed. After all, once the negotiations were successful, it would be another achievement for Noah. I would consider it a win as long as we secured the project. That was the result I wanted. As for the process, I was happy to extend this favor to him.

So, we quickly reached an agreement on the plan.

Noah invited us to lunch, but I declined. I felt it was best to keep a low profile because it wouldn't make him look good.
