Chapter 146
I shook my head and looked at Frederick in front of me. “Let’s go.”
Frederick just nodded without saying anything.
We acted like nothing had happened. It was like an unspoken agreement not to mention a single word about the incident earlier. He didn’t ask why I chose him over Jonathan, and I didn’t ask how he felt about it.
It wasn’t long before he broke the silence. “Do you want to head back now or stick to the original plan?”
“Let’s stick to the plan,” I told him. “We’re already here. It’d be a waste to leave empty–handed.”
He smiled slightly. “Got it. The offer I mentioned before still stands. Do you want me to introduce you to a few investors?”
I nodded and followed him.
He helped introduce me to several investors, and I confidently presented my pitch, hoping to secure that crucial first round of funding. In the process, I pushed everything that had happened earlier out of my mind.
Things were going smoothly. Just like Frederick had said, events like this were perfect for networking.
These investors were seasoned pros. They could usually tell, more or less, which projects had real potential. Of course, no one had a 100% success rate, but if they got it right more than half the time, that was more than enough to make them big shots in the investment world.
But Jonathan was different. Among all these people, his investment instincts were razor–sharp. Any project he backed never lost money. According to industry stats, he hadn’t misjudged a single investment. In other words, his accuracy was basically perfect.
Still, no one would dare claim they’d never lose money. Even if Jonathan had a flawless track record for now, no one knew what the future held.
I found my thoughts drifting. Somehow, I was thinking about him again.
Frederick noticed and gently took hold of my arm, concerned. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?”
