Isla's jaw dropped at how unbelievable it was.
"Oh, my God! What's going on? Did you contact the people of this newspaper and ask them to withdraw the report?" Isla asked, with only the slightest pause to show her hesitation.
Sheryl shook her head, and she looked just as shocked. "I didn't. I learned about it the same time as you did."
"Then who'd be so nice to solve this problem for us?" It was suspicious, but even as she wracked her brains, she still couldn't figure out who would help them to solve this problem.
Sheryl's eyes fell on the video again, and she couldn't help but remember the events of the other night.
It was unexpected that she would meet Charles and make him misunderstand the relationship between her and Damian. Was it him?
No. It was impossible. It couldn't be him. After what happened that night, he'd definitely hate her, which made it impossible for him to help her because he wouldn't forget.
"Could it be... Damian?" Isla suddenly cried out. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"It can't be him. He just came back from abroad, so he wouldn't have that much influence," Sheryl explained.
There was a pause before Isla nodded in agreement. It made sense that it couldn't be Damian. "But this report is about you and Damian. If it wasn't him, who else would it be?"
After some lengthy discussions, in the end, they still didn't have an answer. Then, Phoebe pushed open the door.
"Excuse me, Miss Xia and Miss Zhao." Phoebe gave each of them a nod. "Miss Xia, Mr. Li from WEC is waiting for you in the meeting room as appointed."
"Okay. I'll be there soon," Sheryl replied and waved her off.
After Phoebe left, Isla turned to Sheryl and looked completely confused. "WEC? Is that Westy Eary Cray from America? It's the favorite of every large company in China! Everyone's fighting to work with them. When did you get in touch with them?"
"They found me. They said they liked the advertisement plans of our company and would like to cooperate with us." Honestly speaking, Sheryl was just as puzzled. She didn't expect she would have an opportunity to work with such a great company. It was almost impossible, but now it was truly possible.
Isla was excited after she heard what Sheryl said. "Who cares about the reason?! It's a stroke of luck! There are so many companies who want their cooperation, but they chose us! Sheryl, take the opportunity! Do you want me to go with you?"
"What do you think?" Sheryl returned the question to her.
Isla stuck her tongue out and said in embarrassment, "You know how bad my spoken English is. If I go with you, I don't think I'd be any help, so..."
"You have to go with me." It was easy to see that Isla didn't want to go because she was feeling lazy. Isla stopped being a workaholic when she married and had a child, so Sheryl had to keep an eye on her to make sure she went to work instead of staying home all the time.
"But..." Isla desperately tried to look for another excuse, so she wouldn't have to go.
"No buts. Hurry up. Just sit down and don't say a word. Your beauty will do the talking." Sheryl shot to her feet and walked out of the office.
Knowing that she was left with no choice, Isla followed after her unwillingly because she knew that she had to help Sheryl and win this customer.
In the meeting room
Two tall men stood by the windows and were talking to each other by the time Sheryl and Isla came to the meeting room door.
