"I can have whatever you think is best. I heard you're a lover of good wines."

Demilade smirked, nodding and he stood up and then went over to his bar. He took a bottle of one of his favorite wines and he took two big wine glasses.

He went back to the man who was looking around at his office. From the expression on his face, he was impressed. And that brought a wide smile to Demilade's face.

"Here. This is one of my favorites. Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru." Demilade told him the name of the wine as he stretched it forward to the man.

Mr. Thompson took the bottle from him. He looked at the bottle.

"This wine is produced in the Domaine Coche-Dury wine house, a place known for its yearly production of wine. I love it because it is lively and tasty for any occasion. It is 40% oak and they spend about 16 months fermenting before they are bottled unfiltered." Demilade explained taking his seat.

Mr. Thompson nodded in approval while he stare at the bottle in his hand.

"I had this once. I heard few are produced every year." He stated. Demilade had intentionally left that part out but he was glad that the man know a few things about the wine. It fuels his pride secretly. "You have a good taste in wine indeed." And Demilade smirked.

He handed the bottle to one of his bodyguards and asked him to open it for them. The hunk took the bottle with the opener from Demilade and he opened it.

When he was done, he was asked by his boss to pour some for them in the glasses that Demilade had brought along with the wine.

"Thank you." The men chorused and they stirred the wine in their cups and took a long sip. "Awesome." The man commented after taking a sip.

"Yeah, it is."

          Mr. Thompson raised his head and peered at Demilade. He had a grin that Demilade haven't seen on him since he came in on his face. He looked satisfied and pleased. It was obvious that he was impressed by all the designs laid in his presence.

"Honestly, I'm more than impressed." He told Demilade. "These are amazing."

"I'm honored."

"I won't waste any more of our time then," He shook his head approvingly. "You got yourself the deal Mr. Demilade. It's yours."

Demilade grinned with relief. He was actually glad that all those efforts he and his staff went through to win the deal were never wasted. It meant a lot to him. And he was sure the company will be happy to hear that too.

"I am grateful."

"You don't need to be. You got something amazing here and I'll count myself lucky to meet someone talented as you are. You deserve it." He complimented him.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you." He appreciated, shaking his hands.

The man stood up to his feet. "It's a pleasure Demilade. I will send my secretary over to handle all the paperwork. And the work can begin."

"I will be expecting it. Thank you for choosing us."

"It's really nothing. I'm honored to meet someone like you too."

"The pleasure is all mine sir." He stated and he took the man's hands that he stretched towards him, shaking again.

After, he walked him to the elevator and they nodded goodbye to him as the elevator door closes.

Demilade lips spread to a wide grin.

"Congratulations, sir," Dayo said feeling equally excited.

He patted Dayo's shoulder with a satisfied grin. "Thank you, Dayo. We're definitely celebrating this after the paperwork is over." Dayo nodded. "The others need to hear this. Let's go see Reed and Adam." He said to him and he agreed with a nod.
