Aubree had reserved a private room and was waiting there with Vincent and Birgitte for the investors.
“Sorry we’re late.” Atlas Cohen hurried in with two sharply dressed men. One was an older gentleman with graying temples, while the other, eruding confidence and presence, appeared to be about the same age as Bowen
Mlas beamed. “These are the two investors I’d like to introduce to Aubere. One is Ronald Wilson, a towned entrepreneur from Pithol City, and the other is his son, Bryan, who is every bit as impressive as his father,
“Mr. Wilson represents the Wilson Group, while Bryan is here on behalf of his own company, Prakru Group.”

Her two colleagues who had come with her to handle the matter immediately tensed up, fully aware of the long standing feud between Aubree and the Wilson family.
