Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 300

“What happened?” I asked Jeremy in a whisper.

Out of all the people in the room, I felt like Jeremy seemed most ready to talk to me and to update me on what was going on. Jeremy turned to me before heaving a sigh.

“The numbers came in regarding the donations and let’s just say that they’re not great…” Jeremy disclosed with a distressed look on his face.

“But I thought…” I murmured before trailing off.

“The other stats are fine. Views and all that. The initial scoring isn’t bad either but donations are very flat…” Jeremy said before urging me to take a seat next to him.

I did just that and then he turned his laptop screen my way to show me the report that was opened on the screen. My eyes quickly scanned the report before stopping at the chart that showed the donation amount. Just as Jeremy had just told me, the chart was pretty much flat and that was a big problem.

“Do we know why?” I asked as I felt my brows knit together in a deep frown.

“Not yet. Julianna and everyone is trying to figure it out but…” Jeremy replied before ending with a sigh.

I didn’t even dare look in Ace’s direction because I didn’t want to see any signs of stress on his face. There were countless possibilities as to why the donation figures may not pick up. The worst part was that it may or may not be directly related to the commercial. We could have the best commercial possible but the donations may still not pour in. There were just too many external factors that influenced the amount of donations such as macroeconomic factors and other factors that directly and indirect affected people’s disposable income. In that sense, it just felt so useless for us to try to fix this problem. We could spend so much time diagnosing it and fixing it but still come up against a wall with no clear results at all.

“This is not good…” I mumbled more to myself than to Jeremy.

“You’re right. This is indeed not good…” Jeremy replied sadly in agreement.

“There’s still time, though. Is there a chance that donations will start pouring in later on?” I asked while still daring to hope.

“That’s not usually how it works. Usually, the highest amount of donations would pour in on the first or next few days from the launch. Basically, the logic is that people who would donate would donate since the beginning. If they don’t donate then they probably won’t donate anything all the way until the end of the campaign,” Jeremy explained.

I stared at the flat graph on the screen while thinking that what he said made a lot of sense. Those who saw the commercial and wanted to make contributions to the campaign would have done it already. Seeing the commercial a second or third time probably won’t change or sway their decision much if at all.

“What do you think Ace will do?” I asked in wonder.

“I have no clue to be honest. He’s aware of the issue already but he hasn’t said anything yet. Julianna on the hand is going crazy with her team over there in that corner…” Jeremy said while pointing his index figure to a corner of the war room.
