Lizzie wasn't surprised, offering a light smile, "This probably has nothing to do with our meeting today, Mrs. Clara. Here's our letter of intent. We're very sincere, and I believe you might want to take a look." Seeing her reluctance to elaborate, Mrs. Clara didn't pry further, but she didn't take the letter of intent from Lizzie, just raising an eyebrow.
"Ms. Madden, I've already put Mr. Winters in charge of the annual gala, and from what I've heard, he seemed to have finalized a deal with Glory Media just yesterday." Lizzie smiled too, "But, isn't Mr. Winters about to be suspended for an investigation?" Mrs. Clara's eyebrow twitched.
