Satisfied with the explanation, Natalie did not think much more of it. She was very keen on this collaboration as well.

The prize of this bidding exercise was a project no lesser in scale than Project Rebirth, and as Joyce put it, something that had the potential to help put their fledgling studio on the map.

Now that what she took for a missed opportunity had come back around, she really hoped to be able to make the most of it.

With that in mind, Natalie nudged Joyce with her elbow and exchanged a knowing look with her before turning back to the secretary. “Mr. Plumlee, may I know how do you intend to share the proceeds?”

“Mr. Smith had mentioned that if you are both willing, we can split it thirty and seventy, with the seventy percent going towards Studio Nouveau.”

“That much?” His answer had Joyce up on her feet.

Natalie was equally surprised to receive such a generous offer.

Plumlee’s smile was cool and collected. “Mr. Smith stated that you would be putting forward the design, materials, and handling production while we would only be contributing the project and publicity in the latter stages. As you would be doing the bulk of the work, you are deserving of more share of the proceeds.”

“Your boss is such an understanding man!” Joyce exclaimed as she grinned from ear to ear.

“You are too kind.” The young man smiled broadly before he turned to Natalie. “Do you have anything else you wish to clarify? If not, we could schedule a date to finalize the contract.”
