Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 61

The atmosphere was dismal for a moment.

After a while, Jason recomposed himself and spoke once more. "Mr. Reed, thet's not right. Lina's previous results were indeed mediocre. But now, training her is our main priority. I believe that in time, she will definitely rise to stardom."

"If she is truly so great, where has she been for the past few years?"

August went straight to the point again.

The smile on Jason's face froze up while the other executives traded looks.

...

Gwenda pinched her thigh hard, desperately trying not to laugh.

August then said casually, "It's not that I don't want to give you guys the endorsement, but if I really did find a third-rate artist to endorse our new product, it would surely reduce the qualification of the product as a whole. If by then, sales of the product is affected by this, I will have a hard time explaining to the company shareholders."

August was quite frank, and there was a hint of disdain in his words.

Hearing that, the executives looked a tad embarrassed.

Finally, Jason spoke again, using his last resort. "Mr. Reed, could you please think about it? Even if you don't care about us, could you reconsider it for Mr. Evans' sake?"

They brought out Benson Evans as their trump card.

August burst out laughing. "If for my uncle's sake, then should he not come to me in person about this?"

Jason was struck speechless.

It was common knowledge that the Reeds had a falling out with the Evanses over the latter's eldest daughter, Gwenda.

If Benson could really lower himself enough to talk with August, they would not have been sent in his stead in the first place!

This was so frustrating...

Thus, the meal proceeded with great disquiet.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the dining table in another private room was also very dismal.

...

A few CEOs originally intended to curry favour with Olivier today. But seeing the look on his face, they turned their attention to Otto instead.

"Mr. Roux, a toast to you, if you don't mind."

"Ah, okay."
