Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Settling Indian Businesses

Eleanor placed her palm on her heart and bowed slightly with proper etiquette. Her voice carried dignity and poise as she said,

"To the sovereign of the Naga People, the mighty Vasuki Prabhas Nagavanshi, and to the Queen of the Nagas, Her Highness Pallavi Nagavanshi... please accept my utmost respect. Thank you for receiving me and offering your valuable time. It is truly a pleasure to meet you both."

King Prabhas offered a small smile, a glint of curiosity in his eyes.

"The pleasure is mine, Miss Raynor. I’ve heard quite a lot about your accomplishments in the United States. I must admit, I’m surprised to see you here, so far from your turf."

Eleanor responded with grace.

"Your Majesty flatters me. I am but a junior, trying to follow in the footsteps of accomplished seniors like yourself."

Queen Pallavi gave a soft nod and gestured toward a nearby marble table set with refreshments.

"Please, have a seat, Miss Raynor. You as well, Miss Harivamsa. Let us enjoy some tea and snacks while we speak."

All five of them... King Prabhas, Queen Pallavi, Samantha, Rashmika, and Eleanor... settled around the shaded table. The area was serene, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of the flowing Yamuna River nearby. The marble table gleamed under the filtered sunlight, and the scent of cardamom tea wafted through the air.

Pallavi gracefully lifted the teapot and poured tea into the delicate porcelain cups set in front of everyone. Samantha followed suit, serving small portions of seasonal fruits and spiced snacks onto individual plates.

Once everyone was served, Pallavi smiled.

"Please, help yourselves. We can discuss the purpose of your visit while we enjoy the tea."

Prabhas echoed her sentiment.

"Yes, let’s talk over food."

As they began nibbling on the snacks, Rashmika took the lead.

"Miss Raynor recently purchased several companies in the Taramani region of Chennai. She has come to India this time seeking cooperation with the Harivamsa Clan. My grandmother specifically asked me to support her to the best of my abilities."

She glanced at the King before continuing.

"Since Taramani falls within your jurisdiction, I thought it would be best if Miss Raynor and your clan could establish a formal partnership."

Prabhas folded his hands on the table, his expression calm but attentive.

"I see. Could you tell me more about the kind of cooperation you’re seeking?"

This time, Eleanor straightened her posture slightly and answered directly.

"I prefer to conduct business straightforwardly, so I hope you’ll forgive any bluntness, Your Majesty."

She paused, making sure they were following her tone and intent.

"My team is fully capable of managing the seven companies I’ve recently acquired. However, this is India... your territory. I never make the mistake of entering another supernatural region without acknowledging its rightful rulers. I don’t care whether my partners are human, werewolf, or werehyena. In every region, I work alongside local powers. That’s the foundation of my business ethics."

There was a brief silence as she continued.

"I’m fully aware that working in India, especially in regions like Tamil Nadu, involves more than business acumen. The local socio-political frameworks, unpredictable bureaucracy, cultural nuances, and, most importantly, security concerns... these are not to be underestimated."

She looked toward Prabhas with steady eyes.

"I’m requesting administrative support, access to trusted security personnel, and assistance in securing favorable terms with local government bodies when necessary. In return, I propose to give five percent equity in all my companies here to your clan."

She immediately clarified,

"Please understand, this isn’t a token gesture. That five percent amounts to millions of dollars. I currently hold seventy percent of the total shares in these companies... this offer is genuine and significant."

Prabhas exhaled softly, realizing he had been holding his breath. He cleared his throat and replied,

"Honestly, I’m less concerned with the share percentage. Since your businesses fall within my domain, I have an obligation to support lawful and respectful enterprises. Just provide me with a detailed list of what you need, and I’ll ensure it’s taken care of."

But Pallavi interjected with a thoughtful smile.

"Miss Raynor, of course, we accept your proposal. However, we would like to suggest one small condition."

She paused for a moment before continuing.
