Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2211

Sylvie bolted awake from her sleep, her eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light, finding Gabriel by her side.

Gabriel gently rubbed her face, "Wakey, wakey, someone's looking for you!"

"Mmm!" Sylvie mumbled, snuggling closer into his embrace for a moment before sitting up. She straightened her clothes and headed towards her desk.

"Come in!"

Milanda cautiously entered, casting a quick glance at Gabriel before approaching Sylvie, hesitatingly saying, "Boss, the folks from Glory Group rang up, wanting to discuss a partnership."

Sylvie had blocked Baron's number—his attempts to reach out were futile, so he had his people contact Milanda instead.

Milanda was oblivious to the strife between her boss and Baron, but she had heard enough about Baron to suspect his intentions weren't pure.

Fully awake now, Sylvie's expression turned icy, "Tell them the deal's off. They can look elsewhere!"

"Right!" Milanda nodded briskly and left.

Sylvie turned to Gabriel, a smirk playing on her lips, "Some people just don't learn until it's too late!"

Gabriel looked up, "Then let's send them a clear message!"

Milanda's message irked Baron, and soon after, Sylvie's company faced retaliation.

Within an hour, three companies that had long-term collaborations with them called to cancel their partnerships.

The business manager sensed something was off, did some digging, and discovered it was Glory Group pressuring them to cut ties with Sylvie's company.

Though Baron's operations were mediocre, his powerful connections and ruthless behavior meant most preferred to avoid crossing him.

Milanda rushed back to report to Sylvie, who remained unfazed, "Let them do what they want. Just follow the standard procedure for cancellations."

Milanda, struggling to control her anger, replied sharply, "Mr. Barlow, it's best to leave some bridges unburned. Don't push too hard!"

Baron's voice oozed with manipulation, "All Sylvie needs to do is agree to a partnership, and I'll have those companies come crawling back. I'll even refer more clients to you. It's her choice."

Milanda replied coldly, "I'll let her know. Goodbye."

After hanging up, Sylvie spoke up, "You don't have to entertain him. If he calls again, just ignore it."

Milanda, concerned, said, "But we've lost four clients just this afternoon. If this continues, it'll cause panic among the staff!"

Sylvie reassured her, "Why worry? As long as I pay them on time, what's there to be afraid of?"

As they were talking, Lydia from the public relations department knocked and entered, "Boss, I think I should meet Mr. Barlow."

Sylvie raised an eyebrow, "What?"
