Chapter 43 Resign and Go Home
Even if they wanted to cancel the contract, it was likely because they were dissatisfied with Natalie’s
designs.
She hadn’t even submitted her design yet, so why would they…?
The person on the other end interrupted her thoughts, “I’m sorry, Ms. Walker. I didn’t recognize that your
were the Johnson family’s young mistress earlier. It would be too much for me to use your designs.”
“You’re being too kind…” Natalie muttered distractedly.
After hearing what the person said, Natalie knew that Cedric probably had something to do with it. Originally, it was to leave her without a job, but who would have thought that it would affect her ongoing collaborations as well?
She hung up the phone. Before she could say anything, Karina said, “It’s okay, we have no shortage of
orders here!”
The way Karina said it made it seem like they were financially secure.
Natalie also felt a bit relieved.
She knew that with Cedric’s interference, things wouldn’t be so easy for her. That was why it was crucial
to secure Apex Global’s project, as the business was on par with Cedric’s.
While smaller companies might give in to Cedric’s influence, the man she had met today didn’t seem like someone who would easily bow to pressure.
“What are you thinking about?” Karina asked when she saw Natalie was silent.
Natalie replied, “Mr. Frazier isn’t someone who takes things lightly, is he?”
Karina looked surprised and asked, “Wait… You didn’t know?”
Natalie asked, “Know what?”
“Mr. Frazier has never had a good relationship with the Johnson family. So, this deal is a test of our capabilities and not anything else.”
Natalie was stunned. She hadn’t heard about this before, but it was clear that Mr. Frazier and Cedric weren’t friends. Otherwise, she would have seen them interacting over the years she had been with Cedric
That’s good, Natalie sighed in relief.
With this in mind, she had to work even harder in the coming days and make use of everything she had
learned during her months abroad.
Natalie knew that securing Apex Global was the key to resolving all her concerns.
Meanwhile, on Cedric’s side, he was frantic as well.
After Yuvan presented the design drafts for the upcoming bidding three days later, Cedric found all of
them unsatisfactory.
“Tell them to redo them immediately, Cedric ordered. “What the hell is this crap?!”
Cedric rarely cursed.
Even if he was dissatisfied with the work, he usually sent it back silently.
This time, however, he showed no restraint.
Yuvan picked up the designs and said, “Yes, sir. But, sir… We should communicate your thoughts to them
so they understand what they need to-”
“Didn’t they visit the site? If they can’t even do this, we might as well shut down the design department, Cedric’s tone was sharp, showing he wasn’t open to discussion.
Yuvan knew it wasn’t the right moment to reason with Cedric. He had never seen Cedric so incensed before. The design department would have to work tirelessly for the next few days.!!
“If they can’t produce anything adequate by tomorrow, kick them all out!” Cedric stated coldly.
As Yuvan turned to leave, he shivered upon hearing Cedric’s ruthless words. He realized that Cedric was extremely serious this time. People might genuinely lose their jobs if they fail to produce satisfactory results the next day.
Back in the office, Natalie and Karina held a meeting and then dove into their work. The entire design team was gathered around a long desk in the lobby, discussing drawings and plans.
Any issues or concerns were raised immediately for efficient problem–solving.
Throughout the process, Natalie’s phone kept ringing. She checked each time to see who was calling. She rejected calls from Cedric and Rebecca.
Unexpectedly, she received a call from Dylan, Mr. Frazier’s representative.
“Do you need the architectural plans for the developments around the land in the eastern suburbs?” Dylan
asked.
What to build on a piece of land depended not only on its location but also on the surrounding facilities. It was not just about constructing something that suited that particular piece of land; it also needed to fit in
“Til
“Alright, we’ll take our leave.”
