Seraphina couldn't help but smile. Indeed, the world of children was incredibly simple and straightforward.noveldrama

That boy had no idea how difficult it was to make money.

"I've already forgiven him. It's my fault for not recognizing how precious his gift was, not understanding his innocence. When I see him again, I'll definitely apologize," she said.

Wilson on the other end may have laughed hysterically at her response. "But I'll do what's right. Would you mind giving me another chance later? No shopping? We could grab a bite, watch a movie, or do whatever. I'll gladly accompany you, no questions asked!"

Seraphina didn't give it much thought. She said, "Alright, we'll talk about it later."

After they hung up, Seraphina changed into some casual clothes and went with Thomas to the golf club. Although the weather was still a bit chilly, it felt pretty nice. The air was fresh, and her mood lightened considerably.

Her business partner was someone she had only recently started working with.

Tony Abbott was in his forties, but he looked like he was in his early thirties, with an ordinary but pleasant appearance.

He had been in contact with Sivir before, but to his surprise, it was Seraphina who showed up.

Tony was clearly caught off guard for a moment, then quickly went over to shake her hand, staring at her with a glance that was almost too direct, impolite.

"Ms. Cross?"

Seraphina smiled and said, "Mr. Abbott, nice to meet you. Looking forward to working together."

"If I had known it was Ms. Cross coming, I would have let you choose the place. It's rare for a lady to be interested in golf," he said.

Seraphina chuckled and said, "It's fine. My golf skills might not be great, but I'll always stand by my word."

She always came across as warm and approachable.

They played a few rounds, and Tony was clearly a seasoned pro.

Even though he was going easy on her, he still won effortlessly.

Seraphina smiled helplessly. Golf was her weak spot, and there was nothing more to say after losing.

During the break, Seraphina finally had a moment to relax.

Tony, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased. On the way back, he happened to glance at someone in the distance, and his expression subtly changed.

He quickly regained his composure and turned to Seraphina with a smile.

"Ms. Seraphina, you still need more practice. Mr. Sivir's golf skills are exceptional. Not many can beat him."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. "My brother? He enjoys it."

Finally, Tony got to the point.

Without waiting for her response, he added, "I'm not sure if your signature alone will be enough.

quickly Perhaps it would be best to discuss this with Mr. Cross beforehand?"

Seraphina smiled and took a sip of

from the cup beside her.

What's this about? Trying to provoke me on purpose?

It was clear now-he was a businessman through and through. No matter how honest he looked, profits always came first.

"Raising prices due to higher costs means we pass the burden onto consumers, but higher prices could affect sales," Seraphina said, her voice calm and steady.

"We chose your factory because it provides quality at a good price. If sales drop because of price hikes, it could backfire."

Seraphina's voice remained calm and composed.

Tony chuckled, knowing she wouldn't agree immediately.

"Yes, it's a dilemma, but if we keep the price as it is, we'll lose too much. Ms. Cross, I have an idea. Right

now, your factory handles the assembly of medical devices internally. This part could easily be outsourced

to us. We would handle both manufacturing and assembly and then deliver the finished products. Wouldn't that save you a lot of hassle?"

It turned out this was Tony's real intention.

He had quite the ambition.

The assembly process was a technical challenge, even involving smart chips for medical devices.

Right now, Cross Group's high-end factories handled the assembly, and every employee had signed a confidentiality agreement.

If they outsourced the work to another company, it would be equivalent to handing over their core technology.

What advantage would they have left in the competitive market?
