From Trash to Titan Chapter 193
Maxwell stared at her. There was truly no escaping this woman. Even a new grandchild wasn't enough to distract her from managing his life."One dinner," Maxwell repeated, his voice completely flat. "With Driana Garcia. That is all I am agreeing to."Without waiting for another lecture, he turned and walked out the door."Are you serious right now?"Camille couldn't believe what she was hearing. She stared at Driana with wide eyes, completely forgetting about the iced coffee in her hand.Driana didn't look at her right away. She just sat there tracing the rim of her glass. Her face was calm but it was obvious that something was bothering her deeply."Why do you think I'm risking everything by turning down Victoria Sterling?" Driana asked. Her voice was quiet but there was frustration underneath it. "Do you think I actually want to reject a deal that would double my company's reach? I'm not an idiot, Camille. I know exactly what Vertex needs."Camille was still trying to process everyth

"You haven't even met her," Victoria pointed out. "You might actually like her."Maxwell didn't even want to have this conversation right now."I don't need to meet her to know I'm not marrying her," Maxwell replied with no second thought. "I'm going to this dinner to secure the supply chain automation software we need. Not a wife. After tomorrow, the only relationship I plan to have with Driana Garcia is on a contract.""Maxwell, sooner or later you are going to have to get into a relationship. And I want to see that," Victoria said.On the sofa, Julian leaned back and checked his watch. He couldn't care less who his cousin married, as long as it didn't affect his own standing in the company. Maxwell's love life was Maxwell's problem.But Isobelle was a different story entirely. The moment Victoria started talking about Driana, something changed in her expression. It was no secret that Isobelle had her own plans for Maxwell, and those plans had Camille's name written all over them."

Victoria didn't respond to either of them. Her eyes were on Maxwell. She could tell he wasn't finished. “Go on Maxwell,”"But I didn't stop there," Maxwell said. "I tracked down Richard Garcia. The man who built Vertex Systems. He retired a month ago but the new CEO is his daughter. I think he still has influence over Vertex systems.”The room shifted. Julian's smug expression cracked slightly. He didn't like this at all, because he expected Maxwell to fail. But now he spoke with the former CEO?Truthfully, it was a smart move from Maxwell and nobody expected that. Maxwell had been sent to get a meeting with a CEO who wouldn't answer the phone. Instead, he went around her entirely and sat down with the founder of the company. In one afternoon."Richard was very open," Maxwell continued. "He told me the Garcia family already had a board meeting about this. The whole family wants the partnership. They know how big this is for them."Victoria nodded slowly. "Then why is Driana blocking

Maxwell looked at Richard for a long, calculating moment. He let the silence hang, ensuring the older man understood exactly what he was agreeing to."Fine," Maxwell finally said. "One dinner. That's it."Richard's face broke into a slow, thoroughly satisfied smile. He extended a hand across the table. "That's all I ask."Maxwell took it. His grip was firm, his face a complete blank. Richard was looking at him like a prize he had just won, completely unaware that the man sitting across from him was already planning to dismantle the entire board."I'll have my office send you Driana's availability," Richard said, picking up his iced tea. The tension had vanished from his shoulders; to him, the hard part of the negotiation was over. "Shall I arrange the restaurant, or would you prefer to handle the reservation?""I'll handle it," Maxwell said. He stood, buttoned his jacket, and gave Richard a single, brief nod. "Enjoy your afternoon.""Oh, I will," Richard replied warmly.Maxwell turned

Maxwell was shocked.What was this? A joke?He stared at Richard for a long moment, waiting for the old man to laugh it off. Surely he wasn't serious. There was no way this man had just told him to take his daughter on a date in exchange for a business deal. That was insane.But Richard didn't laugh. And the longer the silence stretched, the clearer it became. He was dead serious.Maxwell was surprised. But not completely. He was a Sterling now after all. People would always find ways to try and attach themselves to his family. He had seen it before with Isobelle trying to set him up with Camille, and now here it was again. A different family, a different person, but the exact same game.Without a word, he pushed his chair back and stood up."Thank you for your time, Richard," Maxwell said, his voice flat. "But I didn't come here looking for permission to date your daughter."Without hesitation, he turned around to leave."You're misunderstanding me," Richard said calmly from behind h

"I go where the conversation leads," Maxwell said.Richard chuckled at that. He studied Maxwell for a moment, then gestured toward the waiter hovering nearby. "Get this young man whatever he'd like.""Just water. Thank you," Maxwell said.The waiter disappeared. Richard took another slow sip of his tea, set it down, and leaned back in his chair. He was in no rush. Maxwell recognized the tactic. Richard was reading him. Measuring him. Deciding what kind of man had walked onto his patio.Maxwell let him. He sat comfortably, hands resting on the arms of the chair, his posture relaxed but alert. He had been rejected twice today by Driana Garcia, whoever she was. But this man, her father, had invited him to sit down. That alone was worth being patient for.And now he could actually convince the old man."You know," Richard said after a moment, picking up his sandwich and taking an unhurried bite, "you remind me of myself at your age. Showing up places uninvited. Refusing to take no for an

Julian wasn't done speaking. He also added, "There's a reason I've spent the last five years in the trenches here. I know the names of our floor managers. I know our debt-to-equity ratio by heart. You still need a map to find the restroom."He said it simply, like stating an obvious fact.Maxwell l

A voice called out to him from the nearby sitting room. Vivian, Debra's younger sister, walked through the doorway holding a glass of wine. Her eyes went wide when she saw her nephew looking like he'd just lost a fight."Oh my God!" The wine glass almost slipped from her fingers, but she caught it

“Hah, would you look at this.” The man’s voice echoes across the restaurant, loud enough to turn heads from three tables away. He didn’t care who heard him as he stood there like he owned the place, one hand hooked into his jacket pocket and a crooked smile playing acrossnhis mouth. “You’ve got mon

Hazel gritted her own teeth, grabbing her water glass from the table. “No, how dare you suggest something so disgusting to me?!” she yelled, hurling the glass right at his face.It hit him hard on the mouth, water splashing everywhere, before it dropped to the floor and shattered into pieces.At th
