What a shame.
She’d raised a daughter with barely a lick of sense.
Caitlin glanced over at Annie. “Draw up a contract,” she said.
Annie hesitated, looking uneasily at Keira.
This kind of bet was practically a signed death warrant.
Without Keira’s approval, Annie didn’t dare take a step.
But Keira trusted her granddaughter completely.
In her eyes, Caitlin never took a risk she couldn’t handle.
“Go ahead,” Keira nodded.
With Keira’s permission, Annie immediately set to work on the agreement.
It wasn’t long before Annie returned, contract in hand.
Leo, eager to make sure Caitlin wouldn’t back out, signed his name without hesitation. Then he pushed the paperwork toward her. “Your turn, Miss Gonzales.”
Caitlin picked up the pen and signed her name with a flourish.
Two copies—one for each of them.
Leo held his copy, a glint of triumph in his eyes. “Well then, Miss Gonzales, you’d better prepare to pack your things and get out of Gonzales Holdings.”
Caitlin merely smiled. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, Chairman Barrett. You might want to prepare yourself instead.”
Leo let out a laugh at that.
What a naïve little girl.
Did she really think a knack for numbers would make her a product genius?
Utterly ridiculous.
If launching a hit product were that easy, Gonzales Holdings wouldn’t still be riding the coattails of its old bestsellers after all these years.
As the meeting adjourned, Caitlin turned to Keira. “Grandma, let’s go.”
