The following day, Matthew sat in front of his laptop, waiting for a video meeting with Nathan Caldwell and Facebook's legal department. Saimon and Leo hovered nearby, sipping their coffees. Today was the day the contract would be finalized. After weeks of negotiations, technical discussions, and planning, the moment had finally arrived.
"Alright, guys," Matthew said, adjusting his webcam. "Once we sign the contract, Facebook will wire the first payment. Fifteen million dollars. Let that sink in."
"Damn," Saimon muttered, shaking his head. "Fifteen million sounds like a dream, but it's not all fun and games. I can already hear the accountant saying 'tax this, tax that.'"
Leo chuckled. "Let's just get through this meeting first. Then we'll worry about taxes."
The meeting notification popped up on Matthew's screen. He clicked to join, and within moments, Nathan Caldwell's face appeared, along with Facebook's General Counsel, Rebecca Owens.
