Chapter 99: What Did I Do To You?

"This is a great opportunity," Clarisa Astor-Barlowe said while walking into the Plaza Hotel.

"Yes, but who is this person? Why so mysterious?" William asked his wife.

"He said you would be surprised! So, I will keep it a secret until we arrive at our meeting place." Clarisa put a hand on her waist and said, "Come on."

They were meeting a potential buyer for Astor Drug Store. Not that they were planning to sell, but since someone expressed interest, Clarisa and William considered having a partnership or selling at a very high price.

Strangely, though, Clarisa said the buyer would like to remain mysterious, at least to him. Why?

Sadly, William could not get it out of his wife. So, he followed her lead into a small conference room. A man with a solemn look was waiting for them. He said, "My name is Max. The boss will be here any minute now."

William and Clarisa waited anxiously. It took only five minutes before the doors to the conference room opened. A woman with blonde hair entered.
