Chapter 1175 A Lot of Potential
The flower shop had been running well, but suddenly Evelyn disappeared without a word, and all operations came
to a halt. Evelyn didn't quite understand what had happened, but she had to follow the arrangements and
temporarily leave the shop. In fact, she was very reluctant to do so. Now, hearing that it was reopening, she was
genuinely happy. "Sure! I'll finish my tutoring class and head over in about two and a half hours."
Seeing that she had agreed so readily, Evelyn nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll wait for you. Be careful on the way."
After hanging up the phone, she made another call to the person who was responsible for franchise business
development before. The person's name was Caleb Edwards, an extremely experienced expert in the franchise
business within the industry. According to the previous records, getting in touch with him took a lot of effort.
However, at that time, she left without saying goodbye, thinking that it would be very difficult to rebuild the trust
relationship. But surprisingly, the other party did not hesitate and quickly agreed without much resistance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe calculated the time in her heart. If Lola and Caleb came over, it would be about lunchtime. She immediately
booked a private room in the next-door hotel and went there to wait in advance.
At 11:40 in the afternoon, Lola and Caleb arrived at the private dining room one after the other. Evelyn had chosen
a Japanese restaurant in the hotel, where the dishes were delicately prepared, making the dining experience
enjoyable and not too overwhelming.
The top-quality dishes were served. Caleb sat in the main seat and didn't talk much. His expression was a little cold.
Evelyn knew the reason behind the tension, so she didn't beat around the bush and directly asked, "Mr. Edwards, I
understand that you had reservations about our past interactions. At that time, I sincerely reached out to you, but
later, I encountered some personal health issues and had to undergo extensive treatment abroad. Even now, I have
only just recovered, and it was entirely unexpected. I hope you can forgive me."
Caleb knew that Evelyn might have been delayed a lot because of personal reasons, but he didn't expect it to be in
terms of her health. However, he also muttered in his heart, "What kind of condition could be so serious suddenly?
I've never heard of it before."
Seeing through his doubts, Evelyn said vaguely, "My husband is a lawyer, and he has always been with me."
Although Caleb's status and achievements in society were far inferior to Huston's, he was still knowledgeable about
the affairs of top-tier individuals. He immediately thought of the case a while back when Huston was involved in
cracking down on transnational smuggling with the government and understood it all at once.
With such a major case involving Huston's identity and connections with higher authorities, coupled with his sudden
disappearance for such a long time, it was likely that he had become a target of retaliation from the other party.
Caleb's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at her with more concern. "Are you all right now?"
"It's all right." Evelyn smiled indifferently. "It's all in the past. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run the flower shop again.
Don't worry."
Caleb saw that she was open to discussing anything and didn't have any intentions to hide things, so he finally
opened up as well, "Actually, the reason I agreed to come here is twofold. On the one hand, it's out of admiration
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor your husband. On the other hand, I genuinely believe that the flower shop you are running indeed has great
potential."
Evelyn made an inviting gesture and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Although Jewel City is a political and economic metropolis with a wide variety of shops, there is indeed a market
gap in the flower shop sector. There is currently no presence of high-quality and high-end flower shops. If you
manage and promote it well, you can take advantage of this opportunity," Caleb said. He then brought up another
issue, "However, our creativity and positioning have also caught the attention of many people. During your
absence, several similar brands and concepts emerged, and one of them can be described as directly copying the
original idea. Now, their business is doing quite well."
Evelyn frowned. "You mean the one in the west of the city, right?"
"That's right. Have you investigated it?"
"Yes, I've searched for the spending comments and read them all."
Caleb breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her frown. "But don't feel too much pressure. It's common for many
people to imitate popular shops. Now, we are just being imitated a bit earlier than expected, but as long as we work
diligently, we will undoubtedly be more professional than them."
