He eventually spoke once more while Jessie watched him, “Mr. Wickam, I was the one who went too
far this time. I… I’m truly sorry for what has happened.” The elder cusped his hands, “In doing so, I
hope you pardon Linda.”
Norman lowered his gaze.
The father was controlling his growing wrath with his stakeholder.
Gareth replied calmly as he sent a disinterested glance, “We can cooperate, but there will be conditions
imposed.”
Jessie quickly expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Sir. Do name them.”
Norman bowed slightly while not intending to add any opinions over the matter.
Gareth stated firmly, “Firstly, revenue. Wickam’s income will increase by 10%, and the time limit is
tentatively set for one year to achieve this.” The steely-eyed man raised two fingers, “Secondly, Elisa

Norman,”!!!”
This was mentioned during the previous meeting.
Even though they have a lengthy history of working together, business matters might sometimes fray
some nerves.
Nobody can sever their differed agendas.
What if Gareth had predicted that this is the Benett Group’s most significant concession?
Knowing the man, he knew that Norman would stand opposed to Elisa out of a sea of people. He knew
Elisa would stand to gain with the Wickam’s.
Yet…The Wickam’s score a loss in their books. Elisa stands as a recoup between forgiven
transgressions and mislaying strategies. The fire from the onslaught of public hatred has changed the
game.
With the possibility of confronting Elisa, Jessie and Norman waved a white flag. They’ve gained a
chance for redemption, and they can’t risk having her on their wrong side. Norman’s exponent
observed him and paused. The truth stands that she has no power over the matter.
Norman breathed a sigh and nodded, “Alright, young man. You have my utmost gratitude for giving my
wife a chance!”
The deadline was tentatively established —one year. The Wickam’s were advised to follow the strategy
for at least a year or more. While that was happening, they had to find ways to convince Mrs. Wickam
of her forgiveness and be open to a continuing partnership.
So…
I’m bounded by these circumstances.
Jessie dispensed a sigh of relief. With that note, Gareth calmly declared, “Thomas, you will head to
Linda’s and finalize these two conditions. If there is nothing else, this meeting is adjourned.”

nothing else to say.
Obediently, Norman and Jessie said their farewells and departed.
The moment they were seated in the car, Norman exploded. The elder flung his hands, “Are you
satisfied?”
Jessie glared at him, “Do not point your finger at me! I did what I could to salvage the situation!” She
lighted a cigarette, “Instead of acting like a complete buffoon, I negotiated. You absolute moron.”
“Jessie Green! Have some respect!”
“Respect?” The lady scoffed, “Respect is a two-way street, my friend. Why are you acting like you hold
the sole authority over your precious company? She tossed away her high heels, “But you have one
thing right, everyone will shun the Benett Group, for now. Accepting your actions in the company’s
downfall is the first step. Next is to come to terms with what 10% means for the company, and Elisa.”
