James, without time to get home for a change of clothes, was summoned to the hospital by Lance.
In the VIP ward, Lance learned of the business’ recent profit loss of $2 billion and trashed the place in a fit of rage.
Money was not the main cause of his outburst.
Most importantly, the negative press halted the company’s new venture in Sentania, and the many government bodies looking into the Iverson Group’s finances and credentials were a huge blow to the company.
“Settle down, Dad. Getting angry won’t do you any good.”
James looked haggard with his greasy hair and stubble. He barely had his voice. “We can always make more money, but if we don’t handle this mess right, the effect on our family will...”
“We can always make more money? Easy for you to say!”
Standing on a pile of mess, Lance huffed furiously. “It’s not just $3 billion we’re talking about. The suspension of the project abroad will cost us close to $10 billion. What can you do to recuperate the loss?”
James froze.
“Don’t panic, Dad.”
The voice, though mellow, made James’ heart sink.
Christopher stepped into the ward, his refined face bearing no worries. He kept a smile on his face. “Don’t worry about the project in Sentania. I have a plan to take care of it.”
“You do, Chris?” Lance was shocked.
James pulled a blank face, but he snuck a dirty look at Christopher and had some choice words for him, which James kept to himself.
To James, Christopher was nothing more than a bootlicker.
“I might have been living abroad for the past few years, but I kept myself busy and established some connections, Dad.”
Christopher approached Lance and patted his back. “Don’t forget that I lived in Sentania for 15 years. I can call a few favors to get the go-ahead for our project. This is a little something I can do for you.”
