Chapter 601: The Hummingbird Pharmaceutical (1)

Erik and Rebecca were on their way to Hummingbird Pharmaceuticals, ensconced in the comfortable leather seats of Rebecca's sleek car. The mission ahead weighed heavily on their minds, and they took the time to review their plan, wanting to ensure they were perfectly in sync.

"Alright, Rebecca," Erik began, his voice measured, "we need to be absolutely clear on our roles here. You're representing your mother's interests and came here to buy a new potion the Hummingbird Pharmaceutical Company is producing. You'll engage them in the discussion and perhaps negotiate. 

You'll be responsible for this aspect. I'll be your friend. I came with you just to keep you company. But when the moment is right, I'll make my move, separate from you with an excuse, and see what I can find. Sound good?"
