Chapter 257 Thorough Analysis

I returned to the company and found that everyone else had left for the day. Meanwhile,

Ryan waited for me in his office. As I walked down the corridor, I ran into Grayson. I invited

him to join us in Ryan’s office.

I explained what Atticus had told me and handed the contract to Ryan. After he finished

reading it, he passed it to Grayson. The latter also expressed that this contract likely had

secrets.

“Perhaps we should be cautious and politely decline,” I looked at them and said, “We just

started to see improvements and shouldn’t take unnecessary risks.”

Ryan chimed in, “I think it’s worth considering since Atticus said we can set the conditions.

I think it’s an

opportunity for us.”

He leaned into his chair and pondered momentarily, continuing, “I’ll talk to him tomorrow.

Since risks are involved, we should prepare conditions and a stop–loss strategy. Atticus

mentioned the conditions are negotiable, so we shouldn’t hold back.”

Grayson added, “He helped us significantly when we needed it the most. He’s asking for

our help this

time.”

“Help can come in various forms and for different reasons. In business, we must consider

our interests and help Atticus. Still, we must carefully decide how we’ll do that,” Ryan

explained, showing his

experience.

Grayson agreed with Ryan’s perspective.

So, the three of us discussed the details and decided that Ryan would be the one to

negotiate the conditions with Atticus. Although we decided collectively, I couldn’t help but

feel uneasy. However, the two were confident that Atticus would accept the conditions.

After finalizing our decision, we prepared to leave the office. Suddenly, my mother called

and told me she had prepared dinner and invited Ryan to join us. I also invited Grayson.

After all, we had just finished work

and needed to eat.

When we entered the house, we saw Ivannana and Lauren there. They had almost finished

I calmly gave her a look. “I saw you there.”

“Ah… You were there too?” Ivanna looked at me in surprise. “How’d you end up there?”

“That’s a public place, isn’t it? I went to buy some clothes for Ava yesterday, but they

were too small. I went to exchange them today, and it turned out that your event was

happening there.”

“Harmony’s so lucky. Do you know how much she’ll make from this endorsement? None of

the top–tier celebrities can even compare. Now she’s even more arrogant,” Ivanna

sounded disdainful.

“Didn’t you say she’s on the decline?” Lauren questioned.

“Don’t put that on me. Harmony’s assistant told me Atlas hadn’t contacted her privately.

It’s obvious Atlas is just putting on a show.” Ivanna was quite confident. ‘Even today, Atlas

“Atlas is so

unpredictable. Why is he promoting her and then ignoring her? Isn’t it strange? What kind

I also wondered the same thing. Atlas might’ve tried something with Harmony and

Wasn’t he worried about provoking Celine, or was he doing this intentionally?

I knew I couldn’t compare to Harmony. I was a divorcee with a child, not a high–profile

celebrity like Harmony. So, I wondered if Atlas did all this to attract Celine’s attention even

more.
