CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Vera was anxious, but she knew that now was not the time to panic. The more critical the moment, the more composed she needed to be. Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself and sat next to Caleb.

The food was served quickly, but even though Nash had suggested they eat first, he only took a few casual bites before setting his utensils down.

"I hear Mason Corporation is looking to partner with York Corporation on our new project," Nash said casually.

The York Corporation's latest project required a reliable construction materials supplier.

But their vetting process was rigorous.

And even with that, Nash had better options. There was no real need to choose the Masons.

Still, since Caleb had made the introduction, Nash figured it wouldn't hurt to hear them out. Hearing this, Vera carefully placed her utensils down, trying to contain her excitement.

"Yes," she said. "The Mason Corporation has been in the construction materials industry for nearly ten years."

"But aren't you bankrupt?" Nash leaned back, his fingers interlocked as he studied her with sharp, hawk- like eyes. "From what I understand, your company still owes the banks a significant amount. How do you expect me to believe you're capable of handling this?"

He had come out of respect for Caleb.

But he wasn't a charity.

The Mason family's financial troubles weren't his problem.

If he went around saving every bankrupt company, he wouldn't have time to run his own.
