SYDNEY''S POV


    As expected of apany asrge as GT Group, the executive office quickly prepared the contracts and proposals and brought it for Mk to review.


    I watched the man who brought the documents stand beside Mark and exined some things to him. "This is the termination of the acquisition proposal. We need your signature here," he pointed to somewhere in the paper, "and there."


    Mark nodded, as he went through them first. One in a while, he would squint his eyes and ask that something be exined and why it was done in a certain way and the man would exin everything to him then Mark would nod, seeming impressed.


    I was quite surprised when he imed that he didn''t know that I co-owned Luxe Vogue and Atelier Studios with Grace. If I was not raving mad, I would have burst out withughter at the expression on his face when he tried to piece everything together.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    I had merely stormed here with the thought that he was doing all he was doing to cripple ourpany and buy it cheap because he knew I co-owned it. But surprisingly he hadn''t. I still wondered why he had wanted to acquire thepany but it was the least of the things on my mind right now. I was still trying to grasp that he was really going to invest that much in ourpany.


    At longst, he sighed. "Good job. This is urate, just the way I want it." Then he raised his gaze from the documents and fixed it on me, "I am fine with it, you should check it out too." He slid the documents toward me.


    I took the documents and opened each one. My eyes took in the words and figures as I painstakingly read through. I didn''t want to miss anything.


    Just as Mark had said, everything was as it should be. I was impressed too but not very surprised. Mark took thepany and his job seriously. It was only expected of his employees to do the same.


    I faced both of them and nodded. I dropped it on the desk. "I''m fine with it too but I will need to discuss this with my partner first."


    Mark smiled as he opened his arms and said warmly, "Of course, take your time and let me know once you''ve made a decision."


    I resisted the urge to cast him another suspicious nce. Why was he doing this? Why was he being so nice? He seemed so determiner

    "If you can send me a soft copy of the documents, I would really appreciate it."


    He turned to the man by his side. "You heard her. Go send her the soft copy. Send it to the same business mail you sent the acquisition request proposal."


    "Yes sir," the man said and walked out of the office.


    I avoided his gaze as I picked up my bag. I could barely contain my excitement as I walked out of his office. It was really happening! We were getting a ten million dors investment from a very prestigiouspany!


    The mere mention that GT Group was acquainted with ourpany would have morepanies rushing at us in multifolds.


    The moment I was at the rooftop, I jumped and screamed in excitement. Then ! received a notification on my phone. It was an email notification from GT


    Group. They just sent the soft copies of the documents. I tried to rx as I went through it again to be very sure. Everything was just the way they were in the hard copy.


    My hands shook as I dialed Grace''s number. She didn''t pick up on the first dial so I had to redial her number. She picked up on the third ring.


    "Hey..." her voice sounded somber. "I had the volume up as I attempted to drown myself in some ro since I couldn''t stop thinking about what would be of us after ourpany crumbles so I didn''t hear the phone ring. Sorry. What''s up? Were you able to see Mark?"


    "I wasn''t just able to see him, I was able to bag a big investor!"


    "Are you for real?!" Grace practically yelled the question.


    "Trust me, we''ve gotten a new investment. A whooping one at that. The soft copy has been sent to the business email."

    "Oh My God! You''re serious. This is good news," I assumed she was moving. because the pitch of her voice started to rise up and down and e sounded like she was on the verge of weeping in happiness. "So who''s this insightful investor? I could hear the smile in her voice as she spoke.


    "You wouldn''t believe it. It''s Mark''spany, GT Group."


    There was a pause then she blurted out, "Why?!"
