Gabriel chuckled. "I'l discuss it with the higher-ups ASAP!" Afterwards, he passed another brown paper bag he'd been holding. "By the way, you might want to take a look at this.

Gabriel suddenly spoke up. "Didn't you mention something about treating me to dinner?" "Well..." Dorothy was at a loss for words, then quickly recovered. "Oh my, look at me! | was so eager to review the documents that | completely forgot. What do you feel like eating, Gabriel?

Gabriel didn't object. "My boss might join us later. He's currently in a meeting but asked me to keep you here to meet him when he's free." Dorothy didn't mind the crowd. In fact, she preferred it.

The next second, Everett cleared his throat, saying, "We'll wrap it up here for today. Meeting adjourned.” The shareholders exchanged surprised looks, but they couldn't object to the CEO.
After exiting the company meeting, Everett immediately picked up his phone and dialed back.
"Mr. Lopez, I've checked East Star Enterprises’ ongoing projects. Besides the resort development in Everglow City, they also have several real estate..." "Are there any projects in Havenbrook City?" Everett cut him off.
Kevin paused for a second. "Let me check. Yes, they have an agro-industrial processing project in partnership with Verity Holdings Limited. But they haven't signed a contract yet, and the investment isn't that huge. It's less than 50 million. Are you interested in this project?”
