Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 307

"Miss Chante?" said Mr. Shaw with a surprise, "What's wrong? Can I help you?"

Angela said with a fake smile, "Of course you can. I have been calling you and you didn't seem to hear me."

Looking more surprised, Mr. Shaw said, "Really? That's my fault. How could I haven't heard you?"

"I can understand it as for your age," said Angela.

The implication was that he was too old to hear her.

Mr. Shaw was speechless.

"You must know why I'm here. So I'll just say it directly," said Angela, "How can a big company like the Smith Group default on the retainage?"

Hearing it, Mr. Shaw sighed, "I know it's not good for our reputation. But we have a few problems in our liquidity recently, so we have difficulty in repaying the money immediately.

"In spite of my bad personal relationship with Miss Smith, the Smith Group can't avoid cooperating with the Chante Group. Don't you worry that it will affect the cooperation between the two Groups?" said Angela in a slightly louder voice.

Mr. Shaw said with a wry smile, "As you say, the two Groups have been cooperating for many years. I never want to damage it."

"But we just happened to have a few problems in our liquidity recently. So there will be a delay in the repayment, but I promise we'll finally repay it."

"There's only a few days of delay and we'll even pay the high penalty and interest. So the Chante Group suffers none and even gets more. How enviable!"

What he said was all about how much the Chante Group would get.

As far as Salim knew, Angela had a good relationship with Raya and Sean. So he looked unfriendly to her.

"As you keep on saying the Smith Group had money problem, how do you participate in the project this time? As far as I know, this project needs far more than 160 million."

Angela had no idea what project the two Groups were competing for and how much money that project really needed. She just wanted to induce Mr. Shaw to tell the truth by saying so.

Stunned for a moment, Mr. Shaw sighed heavily, "Miss Chante, as you just start out in the workplace, there are too many things you don't know."

"Brothers out afterwards. Every single amount of our liquidity is budgeted in advance and I have no right to transfer the budget for other projects."

"Wouldn't the whole company be in a mess if all the budgets for other projects are transferred to the one that has problems?"

As it was the first day Angela began to work, she did know little about it. As a result, she had no idea whether Mr. Shaw was lying to her and it was not the right moment to discuss with Adams, so she was speechless at the moment.

But it would be more difficult to see Mr. Shaw next time if she let him go at the moment.

Seeing that Angela and Mr. Shaw kept talking, Salim said impatiently, "Have you finished? If you are not going to the restaurant, I'm going myself!"

"Sorry, I'm going now," said Mr. Shaw with an obsequious smile and said to Angela apologetically, "Sorry, Miss Chante. I have to go now."

Saying that, he left with Salim directly before Angela could stop them.

Before they left, Salim even snorted at Angela triumphantly.

Angela was speechless.

"Do you have any unpleasant circumstance with Salim?" asked Adams as he stepped forward.
