After the meeting finished, Gloria was about to leave but then was stopped by Loren's secretary.
The secretary nodded slightly. "Gloria, the president asked you to come over and see him."
"What did he want with me?" Gloria asked, strolling out of the room.
The secretary remembered that when Loren had asked her to look for Gloria last time, Gloria was very uncooperative, as Gloria went away directly. The secretary put out her hand, grabbing Gloria's arm, while the secretary's voice sounded helpless. "Miss, please, just go to meet him. The president even didn't rest last night..."
"Then let go of me..." Gloria had planned to go, too, as she wanted to see Loren in distress.
She had to admit that actually, she was pretty bad. When they reached Loren's office, the secretary knocked on the door, saying. "Mr. Taylor, Gloria is here."
As she spoke, she opened the door for Gloria and respectfully made a gesture of inviting her in.
"Thank you." Gloria smiled at Loren's secretary, walked in, and Gloria closed the door behind her.
Loren raised his head from behind his desk, smiling gently. "Gloria, you're here, and have you had breakfast?"
There were several breakfast boxes on the desk with the vaguely familiar logo from a nearby restaurant.
"I've had my breakfast. Dad, what do you want with me?" Gloria sat down opposite him, looking serious.
Loren's face did look haggard, and she could see that he had not slept all night. He shook his head, looking a little worn. "As you know, something serious has happened to our company. The colleagues from the Public Relations Department had a busy night yesterday, but they didn't get any good results, while someone went to our specialty store yesterday and smashed it up..."
After all, no one could mess with Clarke's.
When Loren saw that Gloria did not understand him at all, his face changed a little, his voice became serious, and he said directly without being in a roundabout way. "What you have said is secondary, as now the most important thing is to keep our company running. You just ask Kenny to speak up for our company, because then the Taylor's Group will be able to get through this."
Gloria's eyes lit up. "Is that enough?"
Loren thought he had persuaded Gloria, so he nodded quickly, saying. "Yes, that's enough."
But soon, Gloria's face grew pale, looking a little frightened. "He gave me a Black Card which was cheated out of me by the kidnappers. I haven't dared to tell him so far, and if he'd known about it, he wouldn't have let me off..."
