Eric came up with the plan that he wanted to pitch a potentially very lucrative idea to Stacy but that he could not elaborate much over the phone as he did not want them to claim the idea as their own. But of course, he only said this because he did not have a money-making idea at all.
But luckily for Eric, the assistant he spoke to bought it, and she set up a meeting between him and Stacy. They could not do it today as Stacy was apparently not in good mood (Eric could have a guess why), but they scheduled it for tomorrow.
