Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1183

Chapter 1183 Find the Culprit

After addressing Timothy, Tessa sat back down on the couch. As a rather experienced person, Timothy knew at once that his sister was worried about the company. Left with no other option, he had to get the issue sorted.

“It’s very normal for projects to be intercepted during competition. What’s there to panic about?” he lectured the manager with displeasure, rendering the latter aggrieved and stupefied. “But…”

“No buts,” Timothy announced at once, interjecting him. “It’s obvious our competition was handed the project because your proposal isn’t appealing to them. What you should do now is reflect on your defeat and not come to me about it.”

Once again, Sabrina saw through her boss’ intention, and she glanced covertly at Tessa before chiming in, “The market is very competitive, and the changes are drastic lately. If what we offer isn’t appealing enough, no doubt no one would be willing to collaborate with us. Why don’t you investigate the offer our competition offered them instead?”

With that, she shot the manager a hinting gaze, which he got at once when he was still reeling in bewilderment moments ago. “You’re right. I’ll get them to investigate at once and also do market research while they’re at it.”

Just like that, the manager left in two shakes. However, Tessa still thought something didn’t add up as she watched the manager’s retreating figure.

“Tim, are you hiding something from me?” she probed.

“Of course not.” Timothy denied it at once. “You’re imagining things, Tess.”

“Really? But I heard him say the project was also intercepted.” Tessa suspected their claims.

To that, Timothy made up some excuse. “You don’t win every project you propose. The winner will naturally be someone else when what we offer isn’t as appealing. As for just now, that was just a Freudian slip.”

With that, he shot a hinting gaze at Sabrina, who understood at once. “Yeah, Tessa. The market is shifting drastically lately, making competition between companies fierce.”
