"What?! The Adelmar Group just terminated their contract with us?"
"How can this be?! The Adelmar Group is our biggest supplier!"
"They're willing to pay the rescission fee?!"
"How did we get on the Adelmar Group's bad books?!"
"Investigate it immediately!"
After ending the call, Flynn's expression had completely darkened, with sweat beading on his forehead.
Abel smiled.
He didn't have to guess to know this was the work of a single phone call from the little lady in the break room.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Abel asked, feigning ignorance.
Flynn wiped off the sweat on his forehead, "It's the Adelmar Group. They're suddenly terminating their contract with us. They're even willing to pay the high rescission fee."
Abel continued the act, "How can this be?"
Evelyn was also shocked, "That's right, Flynn. How did this happen? Won't we have to pause the production of all our pharmaceuticals then?"
Flynn said, "We still have some of the raw materials in the warehouse, but we need to convince the Adelmar Group to work with us again. They're the only supplier that can satisfy the Murphy Group's needs. We're not able to partner with other suppliers for this."
"So what should we do now?"
Evelyn was also feeling anxious. She had just taken over the business here in Struyria, and now they were having trouble with their biggest partner.
Was someone just intentionally sabotaging her?
As the two siblings tried to figure out how to handle the situation, Abel's phone started ringing.
The number belonged to a landline that he wasn't familiar with.
However, he still picked up immediately.
There was a magnetism in his deep voice as he asked, "This is the Ryker Group. Who am I speaking to?"
The person on the other line was loud. He said, "Mr. Ryker. I am the business manager for the Adelmar Group. You can call me Kent."
The Adelmar Group's business manager?
Abel couldn't help sneaking a glance at the break room.
"Hello, Mr. Kent. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"The Adelmar Group is willing to supply the Ryker Group with biopharmaceuticals at six percentage points below the market price."
