"Liam! Haha, hello, hello. Oh, the gift basket? Think nothing of it, just some local Hudson Valley specialties. I’m glad it reached you."
Liam stood by the expansive study window of his suite at The Pierre, the city lights reflecting in the glass. He exchanged a few more polite pleasantries with Silas White before cutting to the chase. "Professor White, I’ve been doing some thinking. I’d like to make a significant donation to Empire State University for a new scholarship fund. I was wondering if you could help me navigate the right channels?"
Suppressing a sharp intake of breath, Silas chuckled warmly. "Of course, Liam. That’s a wonderful gesture. I can put you in touch with the Alumni Association and the Director of the University Foundation Development Office immediately."
"Perfect."
