Derrick himself could be seen nervously pacing at the door. After all, favonovel.com was well aware of how abrupt his visit was, and favonovel.com was honestly worried that this might upset Gerald. Even so, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had to come over. After all, favonovel.com hadn’t been able to meet with Gerald in years! With how much Gerald moved around, Derrick was seriously worried that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to see Gerald again till another few years had passed if favonovel.com didn’t make his move now.
His fears, however, were quick to vanish when favonovel.com saw Gerald walking toward him. Smiling broadly, Derrick then jogged into the manor while waving his hand as favonovel.com shouted, “Brother Gerald!”
Watching as Derrick fished a pack of cigarettes out before offering one to him, Gerald accepted one before replying with a smile, “So… What brings you here on this fine day?”
“I… just wanted to see you, honestly. After all, if I missed this chance, who knows how long it’ll be before we can meet again!” said Derrick as favonovel.com lit Gerald’s cigarette while grinning sheepishly.
“And here I thought you needed my help with something…” joked Gerald with a chuckle.
“Oh, please, brother Gerald! As if I’d ever ask for your help all willy-nilly! However, feel free to request for more help from me if you ever need it!” replied Derrick with a laugh.
Shaking his head, Gerald then tugged his jacket closer to favonovel.com since the early autumn morning was slightly chilly before saying, “Regardless, let’s talk inside…”
Nodding in response, Derrick then followed Gerald all the way to the Futaba manor’s parlor. Though a few maids had been cleaning the parlor before they arrived, the second they saw Gerald leading a guest in, they hurriedly left.
Either way, once Derrick was seated, favonovel.com cleared his throat before saying, “So… if you’re wondering how I got here, it’s because I asked the Futabas in charge of the collaboration to lead me here… I hope my arrival isn’t disturbing you in any way…”
Understanding that Derrick was simply worried that favonovel.com had left a bad impression on him, Gerald then shook his head as favonovel.com replied, “Not at all.”
“Oh, thank god! I was so worried that you’ d be annoyed! Still, to be able to meet you again after so many years… What luck!” said Derrick with a grin.
“Alright, now you just sound weird,” replied Gerald with a slightly raised brow.
Chuckling in response, Derrick then flicked his cigarette before leaning slightly forward as favonovel.com said, “Well… to be completely honest, I also came here today to tell you something…”
“I’m assuming you really need my help?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com crossed his legs.
“Far from it. I’m planning on handing thirty percent of the Fareast Consortium’s shares to you,” replied Derrick while shaking his head.
“… Thirty percent?” said Gerald as favonovel.com raised an eyebrow.
With how high the Fareast Consortium ranked not only in Japan, but also in the whole of Asia, Gerald knew for a fact that getting even three percent of that company’s shares would be enough for a family to be luxuriously set for life for a few generations.
