Chapter 2164


    Inside Master Rockwell''s study at the Rockwell household, the gray-haired Master Rockwell was speaking to Decker. He held


    onto his cane tightly, and his expression was grave.


    "So, you''re going to sign over half of your shares to this Mr. Bright tomorrow. Are you sure about that?"


    Decker frowned, the reluctance written clear across his face, but he had no alternatives. "I have no choice in this matter. | have


    to."


    He had already signed the agreement Mr. Bright had sent over to himst week. The agreement clearly stated that if Mr. Bright


    managed to inject the crucial capital needed to relieve Rockwell Corporation''s current financial difficulty, Rnd would yield half


    of his shares in the corporation to Mr. Bright. If he failed to meet his end of the agreement, he would have to repay double the


    amount of Mr. Bright''s investment in Rockwell Corporation.


    Mr. Bright had fulfilled his end of the deal, and things at Rockwell Corporation were stable atst thanks to the massive amount


    of funds he injected into their market. Furthermore, the rumors about his talent in business were understated if anything else. He


    had drawn up intricate short -term and long-term ns, and the operations at Rockwell Corporation were expected to revert to


    normal in no time.


    The other shareholders were in full agreement with the deal of splitting shares to Mr. Bright as well. Even Rnd, who was.


    always a thorn in his side, was surprisingly cordial and signed the agreement without protest.


    With that, he no longer had a say in the matter and had to do what was expected of him.


    Master Rockwell sighed gravely. "Alright, 111 go with you tomorrow morning.”


    He wanted to see with his eyes what sort of person this legendary Mr. Bright was. This supposed miracle worker not only


    possessed otherworldly wealth but also had a brilliant knack for business strategy.


    “Alright, I''ll be heading out for now unless you have something else to say."


    "Go."


    Decker turned and left.


    As soon as he left the study, he stumbled into rice who was waiting in the hallway.


    She wore a frilly dress and posed gracefully by the railing. When she noticed Decker stepping out of the study, she shed an


    endearing smile at him.


    Decker frowned instinctively and had to suppress his growing irritation. He went up to her and asked with a feigned smile, "Why


    are you up sote?"


    "| can''t sleep." rice took his hand and said tenderly," Decker, let me go with you tomorrow when you sign the agreement with


    Mr. Bright."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Her entire demeanor was gentle and endearing.


    Decker hesitated briefly.


    It suddenly urred to him that he could certainly leverage rice''s status as a member of the Houstons. Perhaps it could help


    to bolster his might and intimidate this mysterious Mr. Bright even if just a little.


    "That''s wonderful. | would love to have you with me." He smiled and took her into his arms. He reiterated his point as if he was


    worried it was not convincing enough, "I''d feel so much better with you there with me."


    rice smiled tenderly. “I''m your fiancee. It''s the least | can do for you."


    For what it was worth, she was being perfectly genuine. She was aware of her status as a Houston and how it would boost


    appearances during their meeting with Mr. Bright.


    In truth, there was another reason she wanted to go. She wanted to see for herself who this mysterious Mr. Bright was. What sort


    of man could be so venerated?


    After the night''s rain, the weather the next morning was nothing short of delightful. The sun rose across the clear horizon and


    washed thendscape with an amber glow.


    Isabel usually slept until she woke up naturally, but she had taken special care to set up an rm today since she did not want to


    bete for the meeting.


    Her rm rang the same moment Rnd woke up.


    Rnd was going to reach over to turn off the rm for her, but she snatched the phone away.


    After turning off the rm herself, she sat up and stretched.


    While Rnd smiled faintly, he looked at her with warmth in his eyes and told her, "It''s still early. You can sleep a little longer."


    "No need, I''m fully rested." With that, she threw off the nket and got out of bed.


    Rnd did not protest. He got up as well and returned to his room to get ready for the day.


    Isabel showered and went through her usual routine, all while paying attention to how long she was taking. She put on a light


    and fashionable coat of makeup and fitted herself into a stylish white dress that was suitable for a business asion. Atst, she


    put on a pair of high heels before walking out of her room.


    She saw Rnd waiting for her as soon as she stepped into the hallway.


    He wore his usual outfit of a white shirt and a ck tie paired with a ck suit, finished off with polished leather shoes. As simple


    as it was, it perfectlyplemented his elegant ir, and he looked dashing as always.


    She smiled the moment she saw him. Then, she approached him and twirled in a circle in front of him. "Hey, does this work?"


    She was not very ustomed to business settings and was not sure if what she wore was appropriate.


    Rnd smiled and seemedpletely mesmerized. Then, he reached forward and took Isabel by her waist to pull her closer to


    him.


    "You look beautiful," he said sweetly.


    Isabel blushed and gently shoved him before he started hatching perverted ideas. "I''m not asking you if | look good. Is it okay if |


    dress like this to our meeting at Rockwell Corporation?"


    Rnd''s ears were flushed with red by this point. "Of course, it''s perfect."
