“Z?” Josiah called out to him several times. “Z? Are you there?”
Marcus snapped himself back to reality and cleared his throat.
Josiah chuckled and said, “Well, I finally understand what they mean by ‘losing in your own thoughts’.
Even though I’m not there, I can imagine you staring at your wife right now.”
Marcus said with a grim voice, “Josiah, if you’re asking for a beating, you can just let me know. You
don’t have to remind me so euphemistically.”
Josiah let out a few dry laughs. He knew that Marcus was going to enjoy the rest of the day with his
wife, so he hastily ended the call.
The next day, Linda ran into Yelena at an open-air western restaurant below the Jenner Building.
”Ms. Jenner.” Linda smiled at her and pulled out a termination contract. “We’ve already talked to your
secretary, so we just need your signature. Please sign your name here!”
Yelena’s expression was already dark, and her face was even more contorted by her rage.
The Jenner Group had become a laughingstock in the business world after the man from Asperia
swindled her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilliam could not hold his head up whenever he went, so he took his anger out on Yelena. Not only did
he reprimand her severely in the board meeting, but he also took away a few of her profitable projects.
When they were at home, she needed to be very careful so that she would not get him angry again.
At present, even Bowfast had taken the opportunity to cut ties with the Jenner Group like other
companies did.
Yelena gnashed her teeth and looked at Linda, who was smiling at her. She grabbed the pen tightly
and signed her name on the contract.
“Thank you,” Linda said with a smile on her face after checking through the contract. “If nothing goes
wrong, you’ll receive a formal termination letter from us within three days. Thank you for your
cooperation, Ms. Jenner. Let me buy you a meal this time.”
“That’s not necessary.” Yelena crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “I still can pay for my
own meal. I’m not that poor yet.”
“This is what I should be doing,” Linda said as she went to settle the bill. When she returned, she
offered Yelena a smile and prepared to leave.
However, Yelena’s sharp voice rang out behind her. “Is there no one else in Bowfast anymore? How
can they send someone insignificant like you to sign an important contract such as this one?”
Linda stopped in her tracks.
“You really are such a poser!” Yelena harrumphed coldly. “I remember you guys weren’t like this when
you asked and begged me for cooperation.”
Linda took a deep breath.
She knew that Yelena was someone very difficult to deal with, but she did not expect her to be so
difficult. She had fallen low enough, yet she still refused to admit that it was her fault and had to make a
few sarcastic remarks.
That being said, Linda was not a pushover either.
She turned around, whipped up the biggest smile on her face, and said, “Ms. Jenner, it’s two different
situations.
“We’ve received our lesson as well this time. We must check the… What is it called again? Oh yeah,
the intelligence level of our partner! After all, there’s no way we can continue to work together with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomeone who can’t differentiate right from wrong and get cheated out of a few million dollars.”
Yelena’s face sank, and she stared at her fixedly.
“Besides, we must let the chairman know who we’re working with before signing the contract. As far as
I know, your father didn’t know about it when you were trying to strike a deal with Bowfest, right?
“Well, if I’m not mistaken, it’s the chairman who has the final say in everything in the Jenner Group. I
guess you don’t have any right to make any decision, right, Ms. Jenner?”
“Are you done talking?“ Yelena smacked the table hard, causing the forks and spoons to clink with
each other.
Linda looked at her coldly. At the very least, she managed to help Cordelia get her revenge.
Suddenly, the expression on Yelena’s face changed. Her anger ebbed away and was replaced by a
triumphant smile.
She snorted and said, “Linda, look over there.”
Linda was stunned and turned around. Two girls were talking happily while eating ice cream under a
sunshade not far away.
The sky was blue, and the trees looked like green umbrellas behind them. Even the flowers around
them were in full bloom.
