The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 46

“Jason, what’s going on with the collaboration project? Garrett Harding from the Larson Group called me in person.”

It was the chairman of the group of companies he worked for, demanding an explanation.

Jason was rooted to the spot. Why would Garrett call over something so trivial? Was there something he didn’t know?

“Don’t worry, sir. I will fix the problems and handle it well.”

But the chairman already sounded furious. “What the hell are you going to fix, huh? Do you think you still have something to handle after this? Let me ask you one question—did you or did you not let your girlfriend stick her nose into our business with the Larson Group?”

The chairman’s question shocked Jason. He walked to the sofa and slumped down, feeling helpless.

“Sir, please listen to my explanation. I did ask my girlfriend to evaluate the design drafts. But…”

He had involved Cassie in the decision-making process, just to please her, thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, he didn’t expect the chairman of the company to find out about it. Jason broke into a cold sweat and didn’t dare to deny his mistake.

“Jason, how could you make a mistake at this critical moment? After a lot of hard work, our company has finally managed to collaborate with the Larson Group. Don’t you know the design resources of the Larson Group have been outstanding in recent years? I had planned to take advantage of the collaboration this time to develop the Color Company into a domestic preeminent modest luxury brand. We can’t make any mistakes. Do you understand?” The chairman was furious.

Jason took a deep breath and said, “Please give me one last chance. I will undo all the mistakes.”

“What can you do? I saw the design drafts the Larson Group had submitted. The first design was obviously better, but your girlfriend rejected it. Pleasing your girlfriend had clouded your decision. You were stupid. Our collaboration with the Larson Group is more important than anything else. How dare you allow her to make the decision?”

The chairman reprimanded Jason. Jason bit his lip and didn’t dare to retort. All he could do was apologize over and over again. After all, it was indeed his fault.

“I’m sorry, sir. It’s all my fault. I was too stupid… What has the Larson Group decided?”

Jason had an inkling the chairman wouldn’t easily let go of him because of the magnitude of his mistake.

The chairman was so angry that he shouted, “They asked us to deal with it and get back to them by the end of the day. The Larson Group is not to be trifled with. I don’t know if Mr. Larson himself has heard about it or not. I’ve already told Mr. Harding that you should be demoted first for putting us in such a situation.”

With that, the chairman hung up the phone.

Jason clenched the phone, gritting his teeth.

Reaching his current position hadn’t been easy. He had worked hard day and night. Now, he had lost everything he had worked hard to achieve just because of a woman.

Cassie was sitting aside, dumbfounded.

The chairman had been practically screaming over the phone, and she had heard every word of their conversation.

Jason was getting demoted.

“Did you hear that? You idiot, what did you do in the Larson Group today? How did you offend Garrett?” Jason was so furious that he slammed the phone on the table.
