NovelEnglishWithout a second to lose, Yulia immediately shouted at Naomi on the other side of the door, “Enter.”
Pushing the door open, Naomi walked into the room.
“Ms. Yulia, Mr. Silverton of Silverton Corporation would like to see you.”
“Miles?”
Yulia was stumped at first, but her mind flew back to the list Naomi had given her. Miles Silverton was
on it.
“Didn’t you call to inform him that we’re signing the deal with someone else?”
Confused, Yulia asked.
Naomi was about to say something when an angry voice barked from outside the door.
“Are you telling me this hollow shell of a company is screwing with us, Silverton Corporation?
“Oh, the nerve!”
With that, a balding man in his forties barged into the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was Miles.
A young man of a towering build followed right behind him. The extra-large suit was not quite a good fit
for the man as it was bursting at the seams.
He appeared to be Miles’ personal bodyguard.
Turning her gaze to Miles, Naomi was about to stop him when Miles put his hands out and shoved her
out of the way.
He then swaggered his way to the sofa in the reception area to sit down.
Pursing her lips, Yulia tried to keep her cool and asked, “Mr. Silverton, what are you trying to do? Not
only had you barged into my office, but you were also rude to my employee.”
“What do I want?”
Miles let out a cold scoff. “Yulia Sue, I should be asking you the same question.”
“This morning, Kareem Fashion made a public announcement, seeking for partnership.
“I backed out on two projects that were about to launch and crossed two of my oldest clients so I could
pool together sufficient funds for your anti-blemish cream project.
“What did I get in the end? You told your assistant to call me and tell me that you’ve found someone
else.
“That’s so soon. Don’t you at least have the decency to tell it to my face? Are you trying to play me?”
Miles’ remarks only made Yulia and Skylar want to laugh.
Indeed, Yulia instructed Naomi to make a public announcement this morning that Kareem Fashion was
interested in looking for a business partner.
Nevertheless, nothing was promised or set in stone to Silverton Corporation.
It was Miles’ problem for whatever trade-off he made to fight for partnership over the anti-blemish
cream project. What did it have to do with Yulia?
He should have expected the outcome when he backed out of other deals.
Why was a CEO living in his own fantasy?
Yulia said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Silverton. We have found a business partner. It’s Mr. Cullen, Jay Cullen of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCloudtopia Riverside. It’s a company that has always dabbled in skincare products. I personally think
he’s a better candidate than you to partake in the project.”
Miles scoffed and snapped back, “What? Are you trying to intimidate me with Jay? I’m not scared of
him!
“Since you’re admitting to playing favorites, I’ll cut to the chase.
Shaking his leg in glee, Miles added, “You’ve done me dirty, Yulia. You have two choices.
“Either ditch Jay and partner up with Silverton Corporation, or hand over the formula of the anti-blemish
cream to make up for my canceled projects.”
He put his feet on the coffee table and arrogantly uttered, “You have one minute to reconsider. Tick
tock.”
Skylar and Yulia scowled.
It appeared that Miles was not living in a fantasy. He had a hidden agenda, and it was to blackmail.
Skylar snorted and raised his brow at Miles before uttering, “Mr. Silverton, we won’t consider either
choice.
“But you have two choices.”
A chilling glint alighted in Skylar’s eyes.
“Either get out of here, or I’ll make you!”
