Meanwhile, Matthew went straight into his office without a word.
Fernando took a moment to collect himself before following Matthew inside. He placed the coffee on the table and began to update Matthew on ongoing projects.
Matthew reached for the coffee and took a long sip.
It was his usual black coffee, but it seemed exceptionally bitter today.
“Get me another cup of coffee,” Matthew said with a frown.
Fernando paused as it dawned on him that Matthew’s bad mood might be the result of a disagreement with Stella.
He gave a quick nod and turned to leave.
Before exiting, he reminded Matthew of an important commitment.
“Mr. Clark, we have a contract signing with Evans Group at ten o’clock.”
“Alright, please bring an extra cup of coffee when you return,”
Matthew replied, rubbing his temples.

At ten o’clock, Sprague arrived for their meeting at Prosperity Group.
Once settled in the office, he flipped through the contract pages, meticulously reviewing the details.
“Mr. Clark, I’m interested in converting 50% of my fees into shares in Prosperity Group. I want to become a shareholder.”
This unexpected suggestion took Matthew by surprise, but he saw no reason to object. He promptly instructed his team to make the necessary amendments to the contract.
He had done his homework on Evans Group just the day before.
He learned that Sprague, in his younger years, had made a significant fortune starting from a modest investment. His hard work in Seamarsh, coupled with a reputation for being modest and respectful in business dealings, had allowed him to steadily grow Evans Group.

His record was impeccable, with no red flags or suspicious activities.
Matthew saw the potential benefits of having Sprague as a shareholder in Prosperity Group. His involvement would strengthen the company’s standing in the industry without causing any trouble.
As soon as the contract was finalized, Fernando entered the room with a tray of coffee.
Taking advantage of the moment, Matthew extended an invitation to Sprague to stay for a while longer.
“Mr. Evans, if you’re not in a hurry, I’d like you to join me for a cup of coffee and a chat.”
Sprague raised an eyebrow. Then, without saying anything, he gracefully accepted a cup of coffee.
“Mr. Evans, your success at such a young age is remarkable. You’ve built Evans Group to its current stature starting from just a little amount of money.” Matthew was eager to learn more about Sprague and started praising him.
