Chapter: 223

The only drawback was that this project could span an extensive period, possibly delaying other commitments.

Nonetheless, Kaitlin remained highly optimistic about the prospects of the co-branding initiative.

Shawn arrived at the Oasis Studio precisely at the scheduled time to pick up Kaitlin.

She felt a surge of flattery and expressed her gratitude as she climbed into the car.

Previously, she had visited the Murphy Group's branch several times, but only as a customer.

Now, the circumstances and her mindset were entirely different.

The branch manager had everything ready-all the necessary data compiled for their review.

They settled into the VIP room on the second floor, poring over the past year's transactions and assorted statistics.

Kaitlin was thoroughly impressed. The Murphy Group was even more impressive than she had anticipated.

She concealed her surprise, feeling increasingly positive about the potential co-branding collaboration.

After poring over the data, Kaitlin inquired about Shawn's terms for the collaboration.

Shawn responded with a smile, "I always aim for a win-win situation.”

His response, though ambiguous, implied his agreement.

Kaitlin's smile widened as she reached out her hand. "Mr. Murphy, let's make this collaboration a resounding success."

Shawn grasped her hand firmly and didn't immediately let go.

"Absolutely, I have no doubt it will succeed."

With a playful grin, he gave her hand a gentle squeeze before letting go.

Kaitlin arched an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by Shawn's actions.

Was he trying to flirt with her?

But she was pregnant.

How odd.

Kaitlin quickly dismissed the thought as Shawn invited her to see the rooftop terrace.

Located in the upscale district of Osewood, the Murphy Group had outfitted their branch with a spacious terrace designed for guests to enjoy the panoramic views.

This daring addition was typical of Shawn's approach.
