After studying Trenton intently for a brief moment, Eileen abruptly asked, "Are you Mr. Quimby, the one who suddenly got cold feet about signing the contract with us?" "Please don't get the wrong idea, Ms. Curtis," Trenton quickly responded, trying to explain himself. "For a project worth tens of millions, careful thought is crucial. But rest assured, it's not what you think." Before he could elaborate further, Eileen interjected coldly, "It's just a project worth millions. We don't press anyone. The Ferguson Group values proactive collaboration. If you're unable to make a decision, we won't insist. Goodbye." With a swish of her dress, Eileen left Trenton behind and gracefully returned to Benjamin's side. Benjamin glanced at her and asked, “Mr. Quimby followed you out. Did you two have a conversation?" "Don't you see what he's after?" Eileen replied, adjusting her long hair. "We should never demean ourselves, regardless of the obstacles we face." Even if Trenton wanted to collaborate with them again, they would only engage with him if he approached them of his own accord and was willing to sign the project.
"I'm not in a position to do that. If I accidentally offend someone important and it costs the company, I'm not sure I could handle the fallout," Benjamin admitted, leaning against a pillar with one hand in his pocket, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

After all, he wasn't the boss. Even if he could tough it out, their business partners might not take him seriously. He wouldn't be able to rest easy knowing he might have harmed the company.
Eileen hadn't considered his predicament before.

"I want to..." Eileen was stunned. "Why?" Benjamin sighed, gathering his thoughts. "It's complicated. I'm in my early thirties now, and my family has been pressuringto get married. With the way things run here, I barely have any personal time. Now that the company is stable, there's not much reason forto stick around only to let you and Juslack off." "I understand if you are resigning to focus on marriage and family, but I can't accept that you think there is..."
"There's no reason for you to stay in the company." Eileen had no doubts about Benjamin's contributions to the m company. "We three founded then Ferguson Group together. While Juand I managed the external affairs, you handled the internal operations as a senior executive." Without Benjamin's skillful management of internal matters, how could they have confidently tackled everything else?
"I'm not here for praise," Benjamin said. "No, I'm not changing my not m decision to resign."
Eileen sighed, her gaze drifting to the nearby clusters of people murmuring among themselves, lost in her thoughts. She cfrom modest beginnings. Had she not married Bryan, attending such an event would have been beyond her reach. Despite her talents, she was not part of the elite. Even if her education agency expanded successfully, it couldn't hold a candle to a listed enterprise like the EB Group.
