I got up and walked backward.
I hadn't gotten very far when Isabelle sighed. "Indeed, we were overthinking it. How could he be rich?"
Charlotte was disappointed as well. "I'd really thought… How disappointing. If he were rich, I wouldn't have minded being with him."
Did she think she was the most desirable person in the world? She may not have minded, but I minded very much.
She continued, "It looks like the guy helping me from behind the scenes isn't William. William just took a bite of his glory. Fortunately, I hadn't made things too clear. What a waste of time."
They left after speaking without even staying back to finish their meal.
Isabelle waved goodbye to me. Charlotte just turned and left. It greatly contrasted how she behaved when I first walked in.
I didn't want to pay them any attention. Even looking at her was a waste of my time.
I headed straight to Lynn's office and checked their account balances. I hadn't had any idea before this. After reading their financial statements, I was struck dumb.
In the month I bought the bar, their revenue had hit the 90-thousand mark. That was only their profit.
If this kept up, our monthly revenue would be at least 15 thousand. In a year, there would be 1.8 million. It was a small investment with huge returns.
I called Lynn and told her about her financial statements and our future prospects.
She merely smiled and said, "This isn't even peak season. There haven't been any festivities this month, and I was too exhausted to run any activities. This is just regular business. If I did four to six promotions a month, our revenue would multiply."
