With that, she scurried out of the office.
Curtis originally wanted to deal with some documents, but the smell of smoke made him frown. Hence, he went to the secretarial department to look for Gabriel. “Since you’re so free, why don’t you clean my office and freshen the air there?”
“All right. I’ll get it done right away.” Gabriel knew Curtis was still mad at him, so he promptly accepted the task and scurried off for fear of the latter transferring him to the branch office in Norham.
Not long after, Tilly returned to the office, greeting Curtis politely when she saw the latter hanging around in the secretarial department.
Curtis instructed her, “Look into Glory.”
Of course, Tilly did as told and soon came back with results. “Mr. Faymon, Glory is a company that sells cosmetics and perfumes. The headquarters is in the capital, while its branch is located north of the financial center. Apparently, they’ve changed their CEO, who’s not here yet. So, they sent the vice CEO over.”
Upon reading the vice CEO’s name and the rumors in the industry, Tilly subconsciously peeked at Curtis.
Uh… Should I tell him the rest?
However, Curtis clearly did not have the patience to hear the rest. He asked, “Are they up to anything these days?”
Tilly instantly answered, “Yes. They’re launching a new perfume. Glory has bought out a perfume formula from another company at a handsome price. They even signed a bet-on agreement with Daystar, the company under Faymon Group.”
The look in Curtis’ eyes darkened. “Print that agreement out for me.”
“Sure. Please hold on for a moment.” Tilly hurriedly contacted someone from Daystar and got the contents of the bet-on agreement.
After printing it, she handed it to Curtis, saying, “Daystar’s CCO has told me to inform you that Glory’s business plan and promotion aren’t great.”
“Mm. I got it,” responded Curtis as he lowered his head to flip through the agreement.
When he had finished reading it and processed what the CCO of Daystar had said, he could roughly figure out why Glory called Faymon Group.
Glory’s product planning needed to be outsourced, and they wanted to get help from Faymon Group.
However, Faymon Group did not rely on cosmetics. Hence, they would never bother to entertain small companies like that. Moreover, Daystar had already signed a bet-on agreement with Glory. Giving the latter help would only harm Faymon Group’s own interests.
With that, Curtis returned the document to Tilly and said without hesitation, “Shred this. Since Daystar and Glory have a bet-on agreement, you can reject any future calls from Glory without informing me.”
“Got it.” Tilly took the document from his hands and shredded it.
About half an hour later, Gabriel, who had gone to clean Curtis’ office returned. “Mr. Faymon, your office is clean now. I’ve also placed some fresh bellflowers on your table. I’m sure your room will smell great once you enter it.”
Curtis’ face clouded over, and he glared at Gabriel. “Did I ask you to get flowers?”
Goosebumps rose all over Gabriel as he froze to the spot. “I heard you talking about flowering bellflowers back then, so I thought you liked—”
After receiving the death glare from Curtis, Gabriel spluttered, “I-I’ll get it changed now!”
“Forget it!” Curtis snapped. He then tossed a keycard to Gabriel. “Go to my house and take Happy and Lucky out for a bath. Tell the shop owner to give their claws a trim. After that, take them for a walk in the park.”
Gabriel peered at his watch and uttered cautiously, “N-Now? Mr. Faymon, it’s almost the end of office hours, and I have something to attend to tonight. Can I do it tomorrow? I’ll go to your house early in the morning.”
Raising a brow, Curtis said plainly, “Now. I want them to watch the sunset.”
Curtis left Gabriel bereft of words.
