Right Person, Wrong Time

"Is that so?" Nicole was interested. "Tell me more."

"The company is called JL. It's very influential in the nation. Lots of foreigners love them too, and they want us to develop a skincare product based on herbs. Their reputation is diamond." Roxanna told Nicole what she knew about JL. She thought it was a good company.

"And it's a family company. The newest president is a guy. Can you believe it, Nicole? A guy running a giant cosmetics company." Roxanna was shocked. After their representative approached her, she Googled the company and read up about the boss. He was an amazing man.

"Just one month after his appointment, the company's sales jumped up by five percent. It's a record." Roxanna had respect for this man, and she praised him. He must know the ladies a lot to gain so much in sales. To be frank, a guy who knew women this well had incredible power.

Nicole observed the look on Roxanna's face in silence. Her expressions wouldn't stop changing. She could see that Roxanna was thinking about a lot of stuff. At first, she was surprised, then she had nothing but praise for the guy, and then she feared him. That's kind of the SOP here. "Alright, continue. What's their offer?" Nicole nodded.

She knew JL. It was a powerful company, but she had no idea why they wanted to work with her.

"Point is, they want to see you and hash out the partnership." Roxanna paused, leaving her sentence unfinished. Then she said, "Then they'll tell you the offer."

Nicole cocked her eyebrow. So, everything before this was what Roxanna found out. That last point was what she really wanted to say. Nicole mused over it and agreed to it. This was important, especially for the medical base's growth. "Make the arrangements. Tomorrow would be best. I have to leave after tomorrow."

"Sure." Since Nicole had given her answer, Roxanna left the room after chatting with her a bit more.

Roxanna was an efficient worker. Half an hour later, she texted Nicole the place and time for the meeting.

'Business club, one o'clock.'

Nicole looked at the text and texted back. She sent it and tucked her phone away, then she zipped her suitcase and placed it beside her. Judging from the speed of JL's response, they took this partnership seriously.

I guess I'm going to get a good partner now. Nicole didn't think much about it. She went to sleep after packing up to ensure she got some rest. She was looking forward to the negotiation the next day.
