Chapter 21
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
Adze was already comfortable sitting on the sofa while Langelot greeted Enver first and shook his hand before sitting beside him.
“As I said, we are here for your proposal,” he said.
“But
“You already have it, right?” He showed his hand in front of me. “Let me see it. I want to know every detail of your plan.”
I was hesitant to give it to him so I turned my head to Lancelot and he just nodded I didn’t have a choice but to hand him the three folders that contained all the ideas that Raiden will do regarding the deal that we have so Anox will supply their cars here.
“Sorry about him being this kind of demanding,” Lancelot said while letting Adze read what was inside the folder. “He was on leave from his work and he is not used to doing nothing so he chose to take care of my work.”
“And you are letting him do that?”
He nodded and turned his eyes to Adze. “What his mind is his so I don’t mind him getting involved in decision- making for my company.”
I can’t believe that seeing two men showing their affection to one another feels nice.
Well, a lot of people don’t accept this kind of relationship. Especially when they are from a higher class personality.
But it looks to me that they are too in love with each other to even think about others‘ opinions about them. The love they have for each other is genuine and I can see their determination to protect each other just to stay beside each other.
Ah! It is nice to fall in love.
I accidentally turned my head to Enver who was busy with other papers that he needed to sign. And even though I didn’t want it, memories of what happened between us, five years ago, keep coming into my head.
And that made me remember that love always comes together with pain.
I experienced it personally. And maybe that is the reason why even though I still love this man, I don’t have the urge to take him back.
I’d rather love him from afar than be together with him again after getting hurt.
Well, I already learned my lesson.
“I like it!” Adze exclaimed which made me turn my eyes to him again. “I really like it.” He handed the folder to Lancelot. “I am not a businessman at all but I like this idea Your car will get its original purpose. Everyone will get the chance to experience having your car despite its hip price.”
Lancelot smiled while staring at the folder. “You will get profit from this but you will also get people happy by giving them the chance of obtaining the car that they want just a couple of years.”
I was shocked by their reactions because, to be honest, I expected them to reject this idea of the mind.
If a normal person will read the proposal, they will only see that its focus is on the profits that Anox and Raiden will get from the cars using this kind of method.

And I am not denying that. This is still a company and profit are necessary for every change that we are going to do regarding the product. That is the main purpose of this.
But despite that, I also have a genuine feeling of letting people know the feeling of having one of the most famous car brands in the whole world.
“Do you know why Lancelot established Anox?” Adze asked as he stared directly at me.
I nodded. “He wants everyone to enjoy the things that he creates.”
But Anox couldn’t make their cars affordable for the people who don’t come from rich families.
“Yeah,” Adze said. “The materials that Anox used are not cheap. It cost a lot of money. But they can’t make their cars cheap just to satisfy everyone in this country. This is still a company and it has a lot of employees that they need to pay so that they can take care of their lives and monthly bills.”
“That is why I am too picky on car dealers that will sell my cars,” Lancelot said. “People don’t care about the feelings of someone who loves cars. They just want the profit from selling my cars, not because they wanted everyone to feel what they feel whenever they are driving Anox’s cars.”
“But we are not like that,” I firmly said. “I made that method to ensure that everyone will get to experience the feeling that I got when I finally bought my first car.”
I want them to know. The happiness that I felt when I held my car. The satisfaction that I felt when I finally held its key. And I felt like I was on cloud nine when I started driving it.
I want people to feel that and I know that this is the only way.
“Then, we will accept your deal,” Adze happily said. He stood and held my hand. “We will supply you, not only the high–end cars from Anox but the whole collection. If you manage to sell at least ten of those cars to middle- class people, we will continue this partnership.”
My eyes widened when I heard that. “Eh?” I looked at Lancelot.
And he just nodded, as if he was letting Adze decide for this deal between Raiden and Anox.
“And since I had a feeling that you will have some awesome idea, I already brought it.” He gave me a flash drive and a folder. “That is the official contract for this deal.”
My knees almost give up because of the shock that I am feeling right now. Even Enver couldn’t say anything because of the shock.
“Y–you already have it?”
He nodded. “To be honest, Dashiel has been convincing Lance to make Raiden one of Anox’s partners. But Lance is not the only one who makes that kind of decision and the board couldn’t see anything that will give profit from that partnership so we never really had a chance to push that idea to them.”
Well, Anox is a huge company and it is only obvious that a lot of people need to be involved when they decide on this kind of partnership.
“So, when you told us about the deal, we took advantage of it and convinced the board to at least give Raiden a chance since it has already established its name throughout the car industry,” he added.
“Oh my god!” I can’t believe that the unexpected meeting that we had yesterday made a huge impact on the two companies.
“And to be honest, I don’t know if you planned everything, he added. “It was just a total coincidence.”
“But it doesn’t matter anymore,” Lancelot said. “Besides, you can’t still drop your guard just because you got this

deal. There are still a lot of things that might happen in the future.”
Adze nodded. “You still need to prove Raiden’s capability of selling Anox’s car for those three months so that this partnership will become permanent.”
Yeah, they are right.
Convincing Lancelot to take this deal is just the start. The real challenge that Raiden will have to face is selling the car to middle–class people.
And we also need to convince those people that despite the agreement that we are giving to them, we will not put them in a situation where they will drown in debt.
Three months.
I looked at Adze and Lancelot. “Then, I will make them see how Raiden will overcome this challenge.”
I turned to Enver and I can see the happiness that he is feeling right now because Raiden finally got this chance together with Anox.
And I am sure that he will also do everything to ensure that this deal will not go to waste.
