Jason immediately stood up when Ethan exited the office suite. He looked surprised.
"Boss, I expected you to take a couple of hours in there," Jason observed, a hint of curiosity and lust in his tone.
Ethan shrugged, a genuine smile still lingering from the encounter with the Dean. "Sometimes things start slow, Jason, and then they pick up. We still have time."
Jason chuckled, instantly understanding the implication of the rushed meeting. "You're right, Boss. What's our next destination?"
"The bank," Ethan stated, his expression growing serious. "Time to get my access card. We need capital and liquidity."
They left the MIT campus. Jason drove them to the designated corporate bank branch—a fortress of marble and glass in the heart of the financial district.
