Chapter 107
Caitlin truly lived up to the phrase “awe-inspiring p>
With a warm smile, Irene gestured down the hall. “Miss Kensington, Mr. Winslow, let’s keep moving. My office is just ahead p>
“Of course.” Caitlin nodded politely.
Victor glanced at Wendy, still kneeling on the floor, and couldn’t help but think she deserved it. He felt no sympathy for someone like her. Content originally comes from
As Caitlin and the others walked away, Wendy stared after them, wracked with regret. She wanted nothing more than to slap herself-why on earth had she listened to Cynthia?
They soon reached the office. Larkin excused himself, needing to handle a few minor matters.
Irene made a point of asking her assistant to brew the finest coffee.
Caitlin got straight to the point, succinctly explaining why she’d come to see Irene.
Irene grinned. “Well, Miss Kensington, after what you did for me, I’d be happy to work with Apex p>
“Lady Irene, let’s keep things professional. I don’t believe in leveraging favors for business. I’m already grateful you’re willing to give us a shot. Please, hear out our proposal on game culture and partnership first-then decide if you’d like to move forward p>
Caitlin preferred earning opportunities, not handouts.
Her words caught Victor off guard. He’d assumed Caitlin would lean on her connection with Irene to secure the deal, but she’d never even considered taking the easy route.
Irene already admired Caitlin, but after hearing that, her respect only grew. She nodded, smiling. “Alright p>
Caitlin took her laptop from her bag and launched into her presentation.
Her voice was clear and melodious, almost like the gentle trickle of a mountain stream. Her expertise shone through as she explained the proposal in simple, engaging terms that made everyone feel at ease.
At first, Irene hadn’t expected Apex Game Studios’ proposal to impress her. If Caitlin hadn’t been her rescuer, she might not have even agreed to this meeting. But as she listened, the skepticism in her eyes faded, replaced by genuine surprise-especially when Caitlin showcased how the game seamlessly wove traditional heritage into its design. The creators had found clever ways to bring cultural traditions to life, letting players discover and appreciate them without even realizing it.
So many companies had come to Irene recently, hoping to collaborate. Most just wanted to slap her “cultural heritage expert” label onto their brand for some cheap publicity. They didn’t truly care about tradition, and their proposals were full of careless mistakes-mixing up facts, getting things entirely wrong. It infuriated Irene.
The Chandler Group’s proposal had at least been competent, which was why Irene told them she’d need three days to consider.
But today, everything changed.
Caitlin’s vision gave Irene real hope. With younger generations increasingly drawn to modern Western trends, so much of their own heritage was slipping away. Video games were the one pastime that truly captivated them now-what better way to bring tradition back into the spotlight?
As soon as Caitlin finished her presentation, Irene leapt to her feet, excitement shining in her eyes. “Miss Kensington, Mr. Winslow, I’ve made my decision. I want to sign with Apex! Go ahead and prepare the contract-I’m ready whenever you are p>
Victor was stunned. “Professor Chatham, you’re not joking, are you p>
