"That is unfortunate, Mr. Stellar. I shall have to comm the new Imperial High Command and offer them your services."
He grinned, "For a nominal fee, of course."

The dinner actually met Seamus Arliss' high standards and he had to acknowledge that Mr. Stellar did not run with the usualy riffraff. He began to wonder if the man's pandering to bleeding hearts was actually what it seemed or did the man also have another secret motive that would actually generate more profit for his company?
Yes, Mr. Rob Stellar would bear watching in the future.
As he boarded his yaht, he handed the case of fruit to his people who scanned it once again to ensure the safety of their master. After all, harm to Seamus Arliss would be considered harm to Arliss Industries. Droids took tissue samples of the fruit to run a search to find the planet of origin for the fruit. It was of a type he had never tasted and when Mr. Arliss liked something, he did what he could to go to the source. It was something he thought he may want to procure in the future.
One always learned new things when one ventured from the cocoon of corporate headquarters and with Seamus, it was no different. However differed he and Mr. Stellar were with regards to ideologies, the one plane they could always meet on would be the corporate.
Money is what made the galaxy spin and he just made a deal that would broker quite a bit of it. And, as a bonus, got to meet a competitor close up and personal.
Perhaps Rob Stellar would work to destroy Arliss Industries or vice versa. The success of either would depend, of course, in where each recognized their corporate responsibility lay.
In Arliss' case, the responsibility lay with himself and his company.
First.
Always.
And forever.
