Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301

“If the alternative is for you to insult me, then yes.”

“Brave.” he scoffed. “Do you know what will happen if you leave like that?”

“I can just give up.”

“It’s not just you. Your company will be dragged into this. I will spread the word about your responsibility, but I will only attack your company, not you. Yes, Riverdale has many companies, but I think I can take down any company’s reputation easily. You come from a wealthy family, so of course you can make ends meet without having to work, but what about your peers? They will be laid off or perhaps take a pay cut, and the company could even face bankruptcy. Won’t you feel guilty?

I remembered what President Smith said earlier about how everything could change before the contracts were signed. Could Eric decide not to buy President Smith’s company because of this? President Smith was kind to me, so I couldn’t drag him into this. Thinking about it, I lowered my tone a bit. “But you started it. Why would they blame me for this?”

“Why not? If you had calmed down and taken my advice instead of arguing, your company would not have lost business. We would still be working together, they would keep their jobs and wages, and the company would not go out of business.”

“Are you blaming me for everything you do? Why should I be quiet then? I’m telling them the truth! I will let them know you are abusing your power.”

“Do you think they’ll listen? They’ll just blame you for being hot-headed. Am I abusing my power? That’s how society works, honey. Even if I am doing this, what can you do?”

“You b*star!” I looked at him with hate. “What do you want?”

“An apology,” he replied.

“Why? I didn’t do anything wrong.” Damn. I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I apologize?

“The customer is always right, so you are always wrong. Especially when you argued with me,” Eric said matter-of-factly.

“So what if I apologize? Would you drop my case? Would you keep Jolene out of the bidding?” Just my luck. He took it out on me because he was upset. Even if I fell, I would drag Jolene with me.
