“Is there a problem?” Aurelia asked.
“Ms. Simmons, why are the people here saying that the venue has been booked? They said we’re not allowed inside.”
“That’s impossible. I’ve paid the deposit, and this place is ours for the next week.”
“Well… Why don’t you cand take a look?” The technician sounded hesitant.
“Alright, I’ll be there in a bit.”
Aurelia hung up the phone, sought permission from the director to leave, and then took a taxi to the
venue.
This was a relatively open event hall located in the hotel’s backyard.
The venue wasn’t luxurious, but its exceptional environment was relaxing.
When Aurelia was planning for One Technology, she immediately thought of this place.
Standing here again, she still felt she had made the right choice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, upon entering the banquet hall, tensions had already risen between two parties.
“You’ve taken the deposit, so why are you stopping us from entering? It’s such a hot day. Are you really just going to make us stand under the sun?” the technician questioned.
The manager replied, “I’ve already told you that the deposit is only for reserving the venue for the day of the event, not for the entire week. We haven’t reached the settlement stage, and we have the right to decide how to use the hall this week.”
The technician was sweating profusely and found it difficult to argue with the manager’s choice of
words.
Aurelia quickly approached and placed a bag of cold bottles of water in the technician’s hands.
“It’s hot out here. Step aside with everyone and have a drink. I’ll handle the discussion with them.”
“Alright, alright. They’re simply unreasonable!” The technician took the bag and led the team to the
corridor.
Aurelia stepped forward and said, “Sir, we had already agreed before that we have the right to use the venue for the entire week, and we’ve paid the money accordingly.”
“Ms. Simmons, we did agree on that, but we’ve only received the deposit. We haven’t received the full venue fee, so the right to decide is still in our hands.”
The manager smiled but wore a smug look as though he was certain that Aurelia could not do anything to him.

Aurelia pursed her lips and said, “Let’s go to the finance department to settle the payment then.”
The manager shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but our business is exceptionally good this week. Apart from you, we have reservations almost every day. Therefore, I’m afraid we can’t allow you to enter in advance.”
“But we discussed this during the contract negotiation.”
“But you haven’t paid yet,” the manager pointed out.
Aurelia frowned.
“Most events require a deposit first, followed by thirty percent upon entry, and the final payment after the event. Are you suggesting we have to pay the entire amount upfront?”
The manager shrugged, not wanting to explain.
“But there has never been an event that wanted to enter a week in advance. Since you haven’t paid, we rented out the venue. There’s nothing unreasonable about it.”
She immediately realized that the hotel manager was breaking the previous agreement.
There weren’t many people who cto this hotel for events in the first place.
It was Aurelia who introduced a few clients to this place.
After sdecorations, the event went well and Aurelia went on to continue to collaborate with this hotel.
They immediately reached an agreement concerning One Technologies’ opening ceremony and Aurelia conveyed the demands she received from the founder of One Technologies.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConsidering that One Technologies’ products required testing, preparation had to be done ahead of time.
Experts would cin to test the products.
This could showcase the products while attracting customers in the most straightforward manner.
The manager agreed to all demands and even suggested that they could just pay all the fees once the event ended.
Yet, he went back on his words and kept saying that it was Aurelia who failed to pay.
This was entirely against the unspoken rules in the industry.
Aurelia felt a headache coming.
There was another week before the event was supposed to start and she could not afford to mess it up.
Trying her best to maintain her composure, she said, “Who booked the venue for the week, then? I’ll talk with them directly.”

The manager hesitated.
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible. His fiancé is ill and he is with her in the hospital right now. It may
be rude to intrude.”
“Givehis number, then. I’ll call him right now,” Aurelia said sternly.
The manager was still hesitant.
Just then, a voice sounded behind Aurelia. “Who wants to see me?”
