Rayna was baffled after reading it. What on earth were the headquarters’ higher-ups thinking? Are they unaware of the company’s situation? Still, they had the guts to make a bet? It’s obvious the other party has dug into Glory’s performance before stating the terms.
Rayna sat there for quite some time until she finally returned to her senses. She then used the internal line to call Ella. “Send me all the business plans, promotional copies, and videos of every new perfume released by the company in the past three years.”
“All right, Ms. Garland. Please hold on for a moment.”
About ten minutes later, Rayna received an email from Ella containing all the information she requested.
Seeing that, Rayna began clicking into every document according to the date it was created, taking breaks whenever she was tired. When it was time to get off work, she would bring work home and settle some urgent matters too.
It took her two whole days to finish watching all the videos. After comparing the business plans for the new perfumes, she immediately realized where the problem lay. Glory’s business plan was horrible.
Rayna found the entire situation unbelievable. The planning department was responsible for the promotion of cosmetic products and perfumes, yet the videos for the cosmetic products were rather outstanding while the ones for the perfumes were on the other end of the spectrum.
In the past, Rayna would have changed the higher-ups and given the planning department some time to mull over it. This time, however, a bet was involved, and losing would mean losing the company’s shares. Hence, Rayna did not dare to risk it.
Three years was not a long period, but she could not let Jefferson fail right at the beginning.
Thus, Rayna quickly searched up for well-known advertising groups on her computer, only to find that she was most satisfied with Faymon Group.
Faymon Group’s team of lawyers and planning department were one of the best in the industry. In fact, no other companies could top them.
Unfortunately, getting help from Faymon Group would cost a lot.
After careful consideration, Rayna searched for the phone number of Faymon Group’s secretarial department and called using the landline.
The call went through almost instantly. “Hello. This is the secretarial department of Faymon Group.”
“Hello. Is this Mr. Tylinski?” Rayna was surprised to hear Gabriel’s voice.
Likewise, Gabriel froze. “M-Ms. Garland?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“I noticed the call is from Glory. Are you working at Glory now?”
Rayna hummed in response. She then asked in curiosity, “Aren’t you supposed to be busy at work now? You should be tagging along with Mr. Faymon everywhere he goes. Why are you answering the phone in the office?”
“Well, it’s a long story…” Gabriel began guiltily. “I made a mistake back then. Mr. Faymon was displeased with me, so he’s giving me the cold shoulder purposely. It’s Ms. Turner’s week to plan his schedule.”
Rayna laughed for a little while and consoled him, “It’s okay. Answering the phone is better than going to Norham’s branch.”
Gabriel sighed. “I agree. Anyway, what can I do for you, Ms. Garland?”
“Can you ask Ms. Turner when will Mr. Faymon be free? I’d like to make an appointment with him to discuss a business proposal.”
“Please hold on.”
With that, the other end of the call went silent. Gabriel had left momentarily to process her request.
Two minutes later, he picked up the phone again and said, “Ms. Turner isn’t in the office, but Mr. Faymon is back. He’s on the way to his office now. I’ll transfer your call to his line.”
“Oh, it’s fine—” Alas, the call was transferred to the CEO’s office before she could even decline.
She could not help but feel a little nervous when she heard the tune over the phone.
Arranging a time to meet with Curtis was better than having to talk to him over a phone call when she was not prepared. I don’t know what to say.
“Hello, this is the CEO’s office of Faymon Group.”
