River hadn't thought about that at all.
Seeing his reaction, Donovan let out a quiet sigh. As expected.
Romina had already considered this angle. She was always the cautious one.
After a while, River asked, "Are you saying I should leave Yantail? Or... let the Lafond Group acquire it?"
Donovan shook his head. "That's for you to figure out. I won't make that decision for you. I get it-men value their careers. You worked hard to build Yantail from the ground up after coming to Eaglioncile. It wouldn't be right for me to ask you to throw all that away for Romina." "But," he continued, "there might be a middle ground. What if Yantail shifted into a different industry? As long as you're not in the same field as Lafond, there's no conflict, no competition.
No reason for suspicion."
"River, we all respect you. You're incredibly capable. Even if Yantail changed
direction, I'm sure you'd still succeed."
Donovan glanced out the window. "Lafond is a massive group. We're involved in
multiple industries already. It's not easy for us to change course quickly. But we're
trying. The current industry landscape is getting more difficult by the day."
While Lafond Group was diversified, some sectors were more difficult to pivot out
of. But Donovan didn't mention that to River.
River, on the other hand, didn't say what he was really thinking either. Lafond's diversification made it easier to shift out of one industry without destabilizing the
whole company. But Yantail was just starting to branch into new markets. It wasn't
stable yet.
Still, if Yantail's new sectors started showing real profits, River would be ready to lead a full transition.
He knew Donovan was testing him-to see how much he was willing to give up for Romina.
River replied, "I'll think it over carefully. But no matter what happens, my feelings for Romina won't change."
The men of the York family were known for their loyalty. When they gave their heart to someone, it was for life.
If Romina refused to be with him in the end, River would remain single forever.
He had plenty of nieces and nephews. There was no pressure to marry or have
kids of his own. And even in old age, he'd never be left behind.
The York family would never let their beloved Uncle River go hungry.

he also knew River wouldn't be able to decide immediately.
Part of him regretted that River had to be Yantail's boss of all people.

meeting, so I'll head out. The coffee's on me."
"Thanks for the treat, Brother." River stood to see him off.
Romina still hadn't arrived. It wasn't quite noon yet.
Knowing her, she wouldn't rush. She'd wait until work officially ended, maybe
even take her time..
With traffic, she probably wouldn't get to the hotel until around one in the
afternoon.
