Kiara sat down as she observed the little sister of her boss. She hadn’t interacted much with Ruby, but she knew about the other a lot. After all, Ruby was part of the family. And as Diamond’s personal lawyer, who knew all the kinds of businesses and assets under her name, how could she not know a few about Ruby?
Honestly, she was quite surprised when she received a call from Ruby. To think that the young sis was following in the elder’s footsteps in terms of business, she was quite amazed.
What was surprising was the fact that Ruby hadn’t talked about the matter with Diamond. When she learnt about that, Kiara became curious about what Ruby wanted to discuss.
People who can have a backbone and learn to stand on their own without relying too much on others were good in her books. And Ruby was leaning onto that side.
"Shall we order first?" Ruby asked as she looked at Kiara.
She had eaten hours ago and with all the strain the assignments brought her; she needed energy to boost her spirit.
Kiara didn’t mind. After all, she hadn’t eaten as well. And since it was lunch, she might as well have something to eat and see why this restaurant was special.
"Sure."
With her consent, Ruby asked for the menu. By now, the restaurant had more customers, though not all tables were occupied.
The menu was brought and the two of them ordered what they wanted before the waitress left.
With the other gone and them waiting for food, they decided to start their discussion without wasting time.
Ruby didn’t know what Kiara had after this, but she should be busy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have picked such a time to meet with her.
As they waited for the food, Ruby began to explain her issue to Kiara.
"I have a close friend of mine who wants to start a fashion brand. She has the expertise but lacks funds. So I was planning on ..........."
The more Kiara listened, the more interested she became. She didn’t expect that Ruby’s foresight was this great. Knowing how and when to protect one’s rights was very important.
Although a person has money, it wouldn’t be wise to just spend just because the mood feels right.
Although she didn’t understand why her boss liked buying so many buildings when they weren’t even in use; she could say that the move was right. Real estate was a wise choice for investment. Even if the buildings depreciate, at least the owner would still earn something.
Most of the time, land and buildings tend to appreciate, so the profits would be larger. Anyway, comparing her boss to other people would be doing an injustice. She was too charity-minded. Otherwise, wouldn’t have bought the school and orphanage.
So, for her, whatever she does should have a meaning.
Seeing Ruby speaking like this and her tone filled with confidence, she couldn’t help but look at the other closely.
Ruby was nervous at being gawked like that. However, as someone who had been livestreaming frequently and getting exposed to people, she didn’t cower but confidently pitched her idea.
When the food arrived, the conversation was halted for a moment before it resumed during eating.
After listening to everything that Ruby said, Kiara’s mind was already made up.
"I understand now why you wanted to see me and I can say that you did a good job," Kiara started by praising Ruby sincerely. Not everyone thinks wisely like Ruby, but just forge ahead and in the future find themselves in a ditch that they can’t get out of.
When Ruby heard that, her eyes lit up, feeling happy at being praised by this awesome woman.
"I won’t be taking your case as I have many that I need to handle, but I will assign you someone who I trust. That person won’t let you down and he is also proficient in business law and contracts."
