At ease, Ms. Downey stood up from the chair steadily and smoothed her clothes out. She lifted her chin when her eyes rested upon Franklin, which shown a sense of arrogance.
“If you have any doubts, just come with Mr. Wright and me. We can go together to the warehouse of Joann Group and check the products. You will believe what I have said the moment you see it by yourself. And I’m afraid that the foundry which cost you a lot will be a total waste.”
***
The warehouse of Joann Group lies in the southern suburbs of the city. Obviously, Franklin didn’t believe in her words at all, so he followed Ms. Downey to the warehouse.
Dante was right there, personally directing the workers to carry the products. “ This way, this way. And remember to separate the male ones from the female’s. Don’t mix them, so that it will be easy for them to get the products,” Dante said.
Some designers who were under Dante and 100 percent trusted by Dante were also there, helping to carry the products in person.
Mr. Wright gave the delivery note to the secretary beside him after he had checked the products. He smiled at Ms. Downey and said to his secretary, “All right. Give these papers to the accounts and ask them to pay the balance to Green Lemon Clothing as soon as possible.” Ms. Downey smiled, shook hands with Mr. Wright and said to him, “Thank you very much Mr. Wright. And I hope that we could have a good cooperation.”
“Ms. Downey, you are such an honest partner that I really look forward to have further cooperation with you.” Mr. Wright stopped smiling, glanced at Franklin and said to Ms. Downey, “Ms. Downey, I still have some things to deal with, so I have to go now. Let’s make it next time to celebrate it together.”
“Mr. Wright. You are welcome.” “...”
Franklin kept standing still at the gate of the warehouse after Mr. Wright left. He asked angrily, “How did you do that? Which foundry did you find?”
“And then? Are you going to rent it?” Ms. Downey replied him, staring at him with her crossed and smiling aggressively. Then she kept saying, “But, Mr. Wright, it is meaningless for you to do so now. Do not waste your money.”
Franklin clenched his fists so hard that people around him could hear the sound coming from his finger joints. He hung on to his anger and said, “Ms. Downey, ST Group will take over Downey Group sooner or later. It’s just a matter of time. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch”
“Well, I am awaiting. Franklin, you just do whatever you want.”
Franklin was irritated when he noticed that Ms. Downey cared nothing about what he had said. He clenched his fists and left the warehouse at a great pace.
‘Viola is right. Ms. Downey is really shrewd and difficult to tackle. Moreover, Joseph is always there to help her. I am so negligent.’ Franklin thought.
After Franklin left, Ms. Downey turned round, stopped Dante and said to him, “All right. Stop doing that. There are workers Tell the team members we will have dinner together tonight. Everyone has been working hard recently.”
Dante clapped his hands and gave a glance at Franklin’s far back with worry. He asked, “Now that we have found evidence that he deliberately caused the fire, why not report him?”
Following Dante’s gaze, Ms. Downey glanced in the distance. Franklin had already got in the car and left, with the car becoming a spot and then gradually disappearing.
She said, “Joseph said we will get even with them for the new crime and old crime. Leave them together. Take our time. ”
The fire in the warehouse was a coincidence. Although many sources confirmed that the fire was naturally caused by the aging circuit and the dry weather. But Ms. Downey did not believe it. Her sixth sense told her that this incident was related to Franklin.
