"And rest assured, I will proceed with the utmost caution and care for her future." With that, he ends the discussion. Let's seal this deal with a toast! He opens a hidden panel in his desk revealing glasses and wine. "To new beginnings!" His eyes gleam with anticipation as he pours two glasses, clearly eager to share this news with Rachel once they're alone again.*

"A toast to our expanding territory and the unique addition to our ranks." His gaze locks onto hers, excitement clear in his eyes. "We'll celebrate soon, my love."
