>Agree to the business proposal

Despite your better judgement calling, you suck in your pride and determine for now it's a better idea to agree to Cobblepot's proposal. If you were to decline, you risk upsetting some major investors who're present for the same meeting. It would be different if you're able to get a straightforward plan out of him, but for now you're unable to. You sit back in your chair, your fist under your chin deep in thought for a moment.

"Ok, Oz." You start. "You're right, we will begin arranging an advertisement campaign for your business. We don't have many connections in that department here, but we will get who we do have onboard and have something ready for you before the week is over." You tell him.

Oswald smiles and gets up to approach you personally. You also stand when you see this happening. He reaches out his hand looking for you to shake it, you do so. Wanting to at the very least keep up a professional appearance, despite your mistrust in his character.

"Knew I would come around to you, Brucie boy. You got more sense in you than your father after all." He tells you.

The words that left his mouth leave you feeling anger, you quickly subside it and just half ass a smile. "Glad you think so", you tell him.

The big proposal meeting is officially done, Cobblepot waddles his way out of the building, not without flirting with the reception and other female staff in his path. You make your way back to your office, bidding the other shareholders a good rest of their day. The meeting leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you really don't like that guy. For now though, you have to play nice at the very least.

When you get back to your office, you ask your private secretary to call Lucius Fox from R&D. You'd like a private meeting with him. She does as you ask and shortly after he's knocking on your door.

"Come in, Lucius", you say.

"To what do I owe the pleasure, Bruce?" He asks you.

You say nothing as he takes a seat across from you at your desk, you slide over the tracking chip you've worked on the other night. He gives you a knowing smile.

"This is a little homework for me to grade, sir?" He says

"Something I came up with on my spare time, think you could test it out and finish the product for me?" You ask him.

"Of course, you know I do love these passion projects of yours." He says. "Is there anything else you need in the meantime? I don't mind working on a couple things at once, R&D has been slow and I could use something to pass the time." Lucius finishes.

>Actually.. Alfred has a request of you, If you don't mind.

>I'd like to improve my other suit somehow

>Any other gadgets or tools that R&D needs some.. field testing?

>No, that'll be all Lucius, thank you.

>Other (write in)
