So, he wants me to beg him by denying me of all my chances! “What a b*stard!” This guy is an absolute jerk!
For the next three days, Selena and her team actively searched from all their sources and contacted any company that they could work with, but strangely enough, all of them changed their minds not long after they agreed to collaborate. Even when they phoned to find out what happened, their calls were immediately declined. Thus, Selena was even more certain about her suspicion that Pierre was manipulating these companies from behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, Pauline had personally made a trip to Empire Group, but she was turned away there and then. Despite her desperate effort to initiate a negotiation, she didn’t manage to meet up with anyone from the management, let alone Pierre himself. Her unsuccessful approach inevitably became a discouragement to everyone in her team, as they had never come across such an insurmountable setback. Because of that, the overall workplace morale had taken a nosedive thereafter.
In the meantime, it pained Selena’s heart to witness the negative change in the sentiment among her subordinates. Since it all happened because of her, Selena eventually decided to visit Empire Group herself along with Linda. Upon arrival, they were dazzled by the sight of the magnificent and grand tall building that towered over them and stood out in the concrete jungle.
As both ladies waited in the guest room, Linda’s patience appeared to be wearing thin. “What do you think Pierre is up to, President Yard? He went undercover and lurked by your side, but now that his cover has been blown, he tries to back us into a corner. Why is he doing that?”
Selena shook her head in response. I wouldn’t have a headache if I knew what he is up to, would I?
“Could it be that he has fallen for you?”
“Nonsense!”
