295 Who Will Be Blamed for It?
Everyone was surprised when seeing Anna standing in the middle of the crowd. However, when they heard her words, they all became very terrified.
Just then, one employee sat back down at his desk and said, "I'll finish the second half of the plan before the end of the day! And I'll be able to finish next year's as well!"
Everyone began working hard after thinking about the expensive villa Anna had given Andrew.
Mona looked around in awe, realizing what people would do for money.
Meanwhile, Anna and Andrew just stood there, staring at each other a bit awkwardly.
Instead of being panicked like she was last night, Anna appeared calm and determined. She said, "Do you have a moment? Do you want to try some new jasmine tea | just got?"
"Yes, thank you," Andrew said with a smile.
As they walked into her office, they smelled the refreshing aroma of the tea.
On her desk was a porcelain kettle filled with freshly brewed jasmine tea.
She handed Andrew a teacup and said, "I'm sorry, Andrew. Hope you don't mind what I’ve said to you last night. | shouldn't have said that about you."
Andrew paused for a moment before responding, "Anna, | accept your apologies. But | believe you are right. | was the one who insisted on keeping those clothes in the warehouse. And | was to be blamed for it. We could have cut our losses in half."
Anna said seriously, "Stop blaming yourself, Andrew. Someone is attempting to harm us! Even if you are extremely cautious and avoid making mistakes, they will find other ways to make us suffer.”
Andrew frowned as he realized what she was referring to.
He said, "Oh, the fire department called me this morning. They claimed the fire was caused by deteriorating warehouse appliances and that some workers had been drinking there at night."
Anna said, "We don't have time to figure out why the fire started. But that doesn't mean we're not going to take it seriously. All we have to do now is reach out to as many factories as possible and try to make all of the clothes we've lost in half a month."
The contract stipulated a one-month delivery period. The factory had previously worked hard to finish a week ahead of schedule. However, Anna discovered that it was difficult to redo the clothes they lost in a week after taking stock of all the goods.
Even if they had all of the factories in the city working overtime, it would take them two weeks to finish the products.
"But our delivery is in a week," Andrew expressed his concern.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Mr. Gilbert about it. We will undoubtedly have to pay compensation."
Andrew paused for a moment before saying solemnly, "Don't do it yet, Anna. Let me think of another way. Don't worry, I'll finish it on time."
Anna responded to his words by saying, "But that's nearly impossible! We wouldn't be able to turn them in within a week even if all the clothing
factories in Birmingham help us." Andrew replied, "It's still possible. Well, just leave it to me. I'll take care of it."
Andrew left after that.
Looking at his cup, Anna noticed that he hadn't taken a sip of tea.
She realized he was anxious about it. However, even if he was in a hurry, it would be impossible for him to make it.
