His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Mr. Woods, I will be the person in charge of all communication from now on," the man said. "You can call me Anson." "You are older than me, right?" Lucas asked.

"I'm twenty-five this year."

"I'm twenty-three," Lucas said.

Anson chuckled. "All right. You can call me Mr. Orpwood, then. I'll stay here for half a year and leave after that."

"I'm sorry, but I haven't decided if I want to accept this investment."

Anson froze. "This is a lot of money, and you are unsure if you want it?"

He had never met anyone who would refuse money.

"I never thought your boss would invest so much in my company." Lucas put down the contract. "I haven't met your boss in person, so I don't understand why he trusts me so much."

Anson smiled. "To ordinary people, this is indeed a significant amount of money, but this is nothing from my boss's perspective. Don't overthink it."

"There are other shareholders in my company, so it's not just up to me," Lucas countered.

"You mean Caspian? When he picked me up at the airport, we spoke. He seems more enthusiastic about this partnership than you are. Of course, if you want to discuss it with him again, you are free to do so." "There are many terms in the contract, and I need to study them in detail," Lucas said.

"Sure! You can have a lawyer review it for you."

Lucas nodded. "Yeah."

"Are there any good houses near your company? I'm planning to rent a place nearby," Anson said.

A strange expression crossed Lucas' face. "You can stay at a hotel for now. I haven't decided if I want to sign this contract."

Anson chuckled. "Sure, sure. I'll go find a hotel, then."

"I can drive you to one," Lucas suggested.

"Great! Thanks!"

After dropping Anson off at a hotel, Lucas returned to the company, and Caspian immediately entered his office.

"Lucas, I just saw the contract on your desk. I didn't expect them to invest 1.5 million in us," Caspian exclaimed in amazement. "This feels like a dream."

"We're not worth that much now," Lucas replied.

"Don't underestimate yourself! If they think we're worth that much, why should we refuse the money?" Caspian retorted.

"I'm still considering it."

"What's there to think about? I've read through the contract, and there aren't many restrictive clauses. They won't interfere with our work and only require timely reports from us. Lucas, what are you afraid of?" Caspian, overcome with

concerns.

"I never believe that good things just happen by chance."

Caspian's smile faded. "Are you thinking of refusing?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"I'm not saying I'll refuse. I just need some more time to think it over," Lucas clarified.

"All right, then!" Caspian changed the topic. "Ivy's back in her country, right? Has she contacted you?"

"Why are you asking?"

"I'm just curious! She seems to really like you, and I'm kind of hoping you two can make it work. Her family seems well-off, and if you marry her, you won't have to work so hard." en.swhovels.net

Lucas frowned. "Aren't you

overthinking this? You just said she has a good family background. Do you really think her family would let her marry me? That's wishful thinking!"
