“The lunch was my idea. Yulia has nothing to do with this,” Skylar said calmly, placing his fork on the
table.
Yvonne guffawed. “Do you intend to ask us to leave Yulia alone? Who do you think you are? Yulia
should beg for our forgiveness herself.”
“Who’s asking for forgiveness?” Skylar smirked.
“There’s no need to lie,” Yvonne said arrogantly. She had no idea how the morning event had turned
out. As a result, she assumed Yulia had asked Skylar to seek her assistance in calming the rowdy
crowd.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore Skylar could reply, Yvonne continued, “Since you called for this meeting, you must have known
that I paid those people to cause trouble. Yulia always thinks that she’s so capable. I wanted her to
know what it feels like to be unable to argue your way out. How dare she steal my position! I swear to
make her life a living hell!” The woman became increasingly agitated as she spoke about Yulia’s
misdeeds.
Harry stood up and warned, “Don’t blame us for being cruel, Skylar. Yulia must kneel and apologize to
my girlfriend if she is to save Kareem Fashion. She must also inform Old Mr. Sue that she wishes to
resign as Managing Director and CEO of the company.” He then walked Yvonne out of the room,
adding arrogantly just before stepping out the door, “We have stated our terms clearly. You can think
about the offer.”
Skylar leisurely took a spoonful of his food before saying, “You should be getting a call soon.”
“What do you mean?” Harry and Yvonne looked at the man, puzzled, not knowing what he meant.
A familiar ringtone rang out of Harry’s pocket. He took out his phone and saw it was a call from a key
client.
Harry took the call calmly. “Mr. Lange, good afternoon. Do you want to go over the specifics of our
contract?”
Mr. Lange abruptly cut Harry off, “Shut up! There’s no need for further discussion.”
“What exactly do you mean, Mr. Lange?” Harry’s face darkened as he had a bad feeling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It means I’m terminating all business dealings with your company,” Mr. Lange announced flatly.
“Mr. Lange, I…” Before Harry could probe further, Mr. Lange ended the call. He could not reach the
man anymore because he had been blacklisted.
Harry frowned as he tried to figure out what was going on. Mr. Lange was one of their most important
customers, purchasing nearly thirty percent of the company’s products and accounting for nearly a third
of the company’s profit. Even though Mr. Lange’s withdrawal would not cause the company to fail, it
would have a significant impact on profits.
“What’s wrong, Honey? You look terrible,” Yvonne asked with concern.
Before Harry could explain, his phone rang again. His heart skipped a beat when he saw that it was
another of the company’s important clients.
The client stated, “We will no longer purchase your company’s products in the future. It is not
necessary to request a contract renewal. I will pay you the early termination bonus. Good luck.”
