Although surprised by Amandaâs presence, Skylar said, âMs. Fitz, since my sister has made it clear, I donât believe thereâs anything more to talk about.âNot to least bit offended, Amanda smiled and said, âMr. Stone, seeing that I rushed all the way from Sconvia City, please hear me out before making a decision.âSkylar nodded, gesturing for her to go on.Amanda said, âAllow me to introduce myself. I am Amanda Fitz, the Fitz family from Sconvia.âMr. Stone, Ms. Yulia, I learned from Ms. Fuller on the phone that you have decided on a business partner. I believe youâre referring to the partnership in Cloudtopia.âIâm looking to compete for the partnership in Sconvia.âShe paused before continuing, âKareem Fashionâs anti-blemish cream project was a hit today, and Iâm sure it will continue to gain popularity for days to come until it reaches a peak and slowly settles down.âThe thing you should consider now is to rush your anti-blemish cream on the shelves of all the shops across the country before you reach the peak, Ms. Yulia.âThe Fitzes own twelve commercial centers. We control the high-
end market in all of Sconvia City. Youâll be looking at conquering Sconvia, maybe even Nirth if you team up with me.âWe can work together and bring Kareem Fashion to the national and international stage.âAt the end of her speech, Amanda looked at Skylar and Yulia with utmost sincerity. âMr. Stone, Ms. Yulia, what are your thoughts?âYulia believed Amanda was not only capable, but she was also forthright. She was tempted, to say the least.Nevertheless, Yulia cast her glance at Skylar.Somehow or rather, Skylar had become her pillar. Skylar fell into ponder, nodded, and said, âWe can look at a potential partnership if you can make that happen.âHe and Yulia wanted to penetrate Cloudtopiaâs market before venturing out to the region and the whole country.However, someone was offering them an opportunity to take over the market rapidly. Why not when they could take down Cloudtopia and Sconvia at the same time?With Skylar giving the approval nod, Yulia got the reassurance she needed to iron out all the details of the partnership.It only occurred to Yulia that she had a celebratory dinner tonight when it was close to clocking out. She hurried up on hammering out a deal.As for the minor details, Yulia told Amanda to send someone out to the marketing department tomorrow for further discussion.After seeing Amanda off, Skylar went with Yulia to pick Lola up at the kindergarten.They arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten.âDaddy!âLola, wearing a floral dress, ran into Skylarâs embrace.âSweetheart, did you miss daddy today?âSkylar dotingly looked at her and asked the question as he usually did.Lola was about to answer favorably when she realized that Yulia was there too. She was stunned.âLola, can I give you a hug too?âSpreading her arms, Lola asked with a smile.Since Skylar had been doing the school runs recently, Yulia thought about using this opportunity to do more as a mother.Alas, the little girl pouted and exclaimed upsettingly, âNo!âThe smile on Yuliaâs face froze as she nervously asked, âWhatâs wrong, sweetheart? Donât you want mommy anymore?ââHmph! Daddy and mommy donât like me anymore. I donât want to like you either.âWhile talking, the little girlâs tears filled to the brim.âHow do I begin?âYulia was caught in a mix of emotions.
