Both Carlos and Haley were confused when they heard this.
If taking over didn't mean having Haley sit as the head of both companies, then they clearly didn't understand what the prime minister was referring to.
The prime minister still had a smile on his face when he saw the way that the two of them were looking at him. It was as if he could already see through what they were thinking and had a solution for them.
So he said, "Who said that you had to merge the companies?"
Both Carlos and Haley looked even more confused when they heard this.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, that was the natural flow of things if they were to have Haley take charge of the Alfried Company. To have both companies running at the same time would be inefficient.
As if he could see through their thoughts, he suddenly said, "Why do you think that it would be inefficient running things like that?"
