Gary froze at his words.
He hadn't expected Lionel to be so shameless and direct, making such an unreasonable request.
Seeing his troubled expression, Lionel asked knowingly, "What's the matter, you can't do it? I thought you said you two had a great relationship. If you really can't, I won't force you."
Lionel had figured out his motive and was deliberately putting him on the spot. He was surprised at how easily the man cracked under pressure.
"Mr. Rosenberg, what are you saying? We're family. It's easy for us to meet for a meal. Don't worry, I'll make it happen."
Gary had painted himself into a corner. Having just boasted about their relationship, he had no choice but to follow through, or else Lionel would know he was lying and refuse to partner with him.
Lionel raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smirk in his eyes as he looked him over. "Alright, then. I'll wait for you to arrange it. You can pick the place. Just text me the details once it's set. As for the partnership you mentioned, we can discuss it later."
With Lionel's promise, Gary felt a wave of relief. He stood up excitedly and said, "Mr. Rosenberg, you can count on me. I'll get everything arranged perfectly. It'll be tonight at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest."
Lionel didn't respond, just maintained his signature professional smile.
Gary left and got back in his car.
"He doesn't trust you, so he's deliberately making things difficult. If you can't get her to meet him, he'll definitely refuse to work with us. That man is so cunning! He can't get Hannah to see him himself, so he's using us!"
Cherry cursed, her voice filled with anger.
She had thought Gary's visit would go smoothly, but she never expected this outcome. It was clear he was being played.
"Gary, what do we do now? Are we really going to do what he says and get her to meet him? That's going to be incredibly difficult."
If she had known things would turn out like this, she never would have argued with Hannah. Otherwise, there might have been a chance. But as things stood now, getting her to come out was next to impossible.
