When Vincent broached the topic of additional funding, there was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.
While Felicia was known as the daughter of Khogend's wealthiest family, the Fuller name had taken a significant hit lately.
Their plummeting shares, boycotts from disgruntled consumers, and financial instability were all over the news. If things continued this way, the Fuller family would be lucky to scrape into the top 50 on the wealth rankings, let alone hold their former title as the city's elite.
Felicia noticed his concern and gave a reassuring smile. "I am me. The Fuller family is the Fuller family. Don't mix the two. As for the additional funding, don't worry. I'll wire the money within three days. Same terms as before—I'll want equity in return."
Vincent immediately instructed one of them to draft an additional investment agreement.
Once the paperwork was signed, Felicia leaned back in her chair, her mind already turning to how she'd raise more funds. It was winter break the next day, and the tourism project she'd been eyeing in Alverton would kick off after the new year. Everything was lining up.
Vincent's voice pulled her from her thoughts as she mulled over her next move.
He began hesitantly, "Ms. Fuller, since our company's growing, I think it's time for a rebrand. We're thinking of a new name that fits our future. Will you approve?"
Curious, Felicia raised an eyebrow. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well, we've been calling ourselves Hexagon because there were only six of us when we started," he explained. "But now, the company has grown beyond just us. We want something that reflects our ambition."
Felicia took a sip of her tea. "Fair enough. What's the new name?"
"Jupiter," he said with a grin.
Felicia choked on her tea, nearly spitting it out. She stared at him in disbelief. "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"
Vincent quickly handed her a napkin, laughing nervously. "Jupiter! The biggest planet in the solar system. We think it's a name that represents growth and scale. What do you think?"
Felicia wiped her mouth, still processing the shock. "Jupiter, huh? Well… it's perfect."
