Josef also had a bad temper. He became angry as well after being scolded by Milo.
“This was never my fault. You shouldn’t blame me.” Josef put his hands in his pockets, and his polite attitude was gone.
Milo was so angry that he took a few deep breaths. “I shouldn’t have promised General Perkins in the first place. I actually did business with trash like you!”
Ferran also sensed something was wrong and suddenly figured out that Josef had used them to deal with Mr. MacMillan.
Josef shook his head and said, “I think you should stay calm instead of being judgmental.”
“First, I started delivering the medicine early in the morning. Mr. MacMillan came over to mess with us and blocked out cars…”
“Secondly, as a small business owner, I can’t deal with a provincial director. He could shut down my company in the blink of an eye… Besides, I seem to have asked someone to inform your hospital that the delivery of these medicines might be delayed, and you also agreed.”
Milo couldn’t help frowning.
He sneered and said, “You just don’t want to admit your mistake, do you? Is it so hard to admit your ignorance?”
Josef touched his chin and smiled helplessly. “If you have to put the blame on me, I can’t say anything else. Whatever you say.”
Milo’s face darkened, and he said, ”After this batch of medicine is delivered, we will terminate the cooperation immediately!”
Milo felt very annoyed that Josef had taken advantage of him. Besides, Josef had delayed too long by waiting for them to come over and deal with this matter, which made Milo very angry.
“Mr. Wordsworth, calm down. We are indeed not to blame for this matter. Mr. Evans probably was a bit negligent, but we did not deliberately delay your medicine…” Bjorne noticed that they were about to quarrel and immediately came forward to persuade Milo.
Milo said, “I know it’s not your fault. I’m only dissatisfied with his attitude. Doesn’t he know the importance of medicine? People will die if the medicines can’t arrive in time!”
Bjorne hurriedly winked at Josef. She knew that Josef was a stubborn man.
If someone could persuade him patiently and slowly, Josef might give in and admit his mistakes. However, shouting and cursing didn’t seem to work, and Josef would even slap their faces.
Josef said calmly, “Of course, I know. But who is to blame for allowing Mr. MacMillan to do such a thing and let him become a director? I might be able to solve it this time with my ability, but what about next time? What if someone more powerful than Mr. MacMillan comes to trouble me? What if we’re not Poly Pharmaceutical? What if this batch of medicine is for some other hospital instead of yours?”
Josef’s words were straight to the point. Indeed. The truth was Josef hadn’t done anything wrong. Besides, if Milo had to find someone to blame, it should be the one who let Mr. MacMillan come to power.
Milo heard Josef’s words and didn’t refute him immediately but pondered in silence.
After a long time, Milo sighed slowly and said, “I finally know why General Perkins helped you. Your thoughts are very consistent…”
Josef smiled and said, “Maybe it was my mistake as well. I should have communicated with you earlier.”
Seeing Josef’s sudden change in attitude, Milo couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly and say in a hateful voice, “Stubborn brat!”
Josef shrugged, but he was not angry.
Milo said, “I’ll forgive you this time. But if this happens again, I hope you will contact me immediately and don’t make us come over to find you!”
