Journey’s End

“We’re a modern world,” Yannis told her. “We have video conferencing, Internet, and airplanes.” He stood up and started to pack his belongings into his laptop bag. “I need the best, Kate. That’s you in Europe. But I need the American market. Do you know how many millionaires are in America?”
“Not off the top of my head,” Kate admitted.
“Me neither, but it’s a huge country, so there must be a lot. Picture it, my Bolt driving down Sunset Boulevard, maybe driven by a movie star or a pop singer. Who knows?”
Kate knew when his mind was made up. In his head, he was already winning awards and being proclaimed the genius behind the sports car of the decade. Yannis had often explained that his success was borne entirely from his sheer willpower to make success happen. He was dogged in his approach, unwavering in his beliefs. If he wanted Kate and Georgina to work together, that is exactly what he would have.
Any further argument from Kate would just make her sound awkward. As much as she hated the idea, her best course of action now was to play along.
Georgina wasn’t a fool, she didn’t get to where she was by not spotting an opportunity. There was no way she’d just stumbled upon Yannis. She’d sought him out, presumably armed with enough statistical information on the car industry to put Jay Leno to shame.
It was clear to Kate that Georgina was after the Atrom Engineering account. Now it was up to Kate to do everything she could to hang onto it.
