Seeing Michael Leaf so concerned about his personal affairs, Martin Brown almost felt like he was floating, knowing that the Brown Family's business had been stagnant for years, and they had recently suffered losses in several bidding competitions. If he could establish this connection with Michael Leaf, today's trip would be incredibly worthwhile.
In addition to that, Martin Brown believed that the change in Michael Leaf's attitude towards himself had to do with his shareholder status and instantly thought that it was a wise move when Lily Brown and her mother suggested that he invest in collecting some scattered school shares.
