Lola smiled awkwardly, “Scot, I’m sorry, but I’m busy today.”
Lola was very indifferent to him today, with a sense of inexplicable alienation.
Scott could feel it, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he had to give up.
“Well, I’ll come for you when you have time.
After Scott left, Ethan looked at Lola with a serious expression, and Lola did the same.
“Ethan, I saw Dominick. Lola’s tone was neutral, but she couldn’t hide her melancholy.
Ethan was slightly stunned. “You saw Dominick? Where is he? I was planning to kick his ass!
“What did he say? Did he bully you? He’s such a bastard. I want to have a showdown with him!”
Lola was slightly stunned and thought, ‘When did Ethan become so impulsive?”
“Ethan, calm down for a moment. I need to tell you something.
Ethan’s rage subsided immediately upon hearing these words. He turned around and sat back in his chair.
“What’s it?”
Lola was confused about Ethan’s reaction and wondered if it had something to do with Dominick
“Dominick told me that the contract is perfect and it will be very beneficial to our company.”
Ethan looked stern. So, are you suggesting that we continue working with him?”
Lola shook her head. “No, Dominick has admitted the recording was genuine. Although he said he had no choice, I still find it hard to accept the truth
“If there’s no trust between us, I think we shouldn’t work together
And this time, Dominick gave her a different feeling.
She thought, ‘Is this how Dominick looks like in the workplace?!
Lola thought about what Dominick had said to her in the conference room and felt a chill down her spine.
“Since you’ve made up your mind, I support you. We won’t work with him! I never planned to work with someone like. Dominick!”
Lola was still worried. “But…Dominick said that if I don’t work with him, our company will face a great crisis.”
Suddenly, Ethan slammed his hand on the table. “Dominick saw through this?! That’s outrageous! He actually used this to threaten you!”
Ethan’s reaction was affirming Dominick’s words.
“So, what Dominick said is true? If I give up this collaboration, our company will go bankrupt?”
Lola didn’t expect to face such a serious problem just after taking over the Lewis Group.
Reluctantly, Ethan nodded. “Yes, that’s right,
“Our other projects are all stagnant. If we collaborate with the Leroy Group, it would be a lifeline for us. The profits from this collaboration can help other projects to move forward.
“But it doesn’t matter. Even if our company goes bankrupt, I won’t let Dominick have his way! Layla, don’t worry. Our family doesn’t rely on this company for income. We have other businesses. We don’t need this company!”
Ethan’s words were radical and passionate.
Although Ethan said it didn’t matter, Lola couldn’t let the company go bankrupt.
She used to be clueless about work matters, but after so many days of hard work, she has learned a lot.
She didn’t want the company to collapse under her management. From the very beginning, she had been determined to lead it to greater success.
“Our company had been running smoothly just a few days ago, and now the crisis has come? Hasn’t the Lewis Group always been in a stable development?” Lola couldn’t understand why the Lewis Group suddenly declined, and even many projects were forced to stop.
Ethan avoided Lola’s gaze and sat back in his chair. “It’s not your fault. It has happened before. Maybe the previous problem was not resolved properly, so it deteriorated.
Lola lowered her eyes, filled with worry and self–blame.
Although Ethan said it had nothing to do with her, Lola couldn’t ignore the fact that the group encountered such a crisis just after she took over.
What was worse was that Ethan didn’t have a solution either. She thought, Is watching it fall all that I can do?”
Lola wasn’t sure what went wrong, but she knew she couldn’t just sit around and do nothing.
“Ethan, I want to give it a try. I can’t let the Lewis Group be ruined under my leadership.”
Lola’s reaction was different from what Ethan imagined, and he became a little anxious, but he held back. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Layla, I’ve already told you that it has nothing to do with you. And what do you plan to do? The situation is already clear. We are really powerless to turn it around.”
Lola
was
stubborn. She returned to her seat and took out all the contracts.
“I’m going to call all our partners. If someone would help us solve the problem, it will also benefit their companies. Win–win cooperation, they shouldn’t refuse.”
Ethan frowned, “Um…don’t rush. I’ll go out and make a call to ask if my friends can help.”
He didn’t wait for Lola’s response and hurriedly ran out.
“Dominick, have we gone too far? Layla feels really guilty now!”
Ethan made a phone call to Dominick.
Dominick was calmer. “Don’t be nervous. Lola has recovered physically, and she should experience the ruthless side of this world. We protected her too much, which may not necessarily be a good thing for her.”
Ethan agreed with this view. Spoiling her was also harming her.
“And one more thing. I followed your advice and tried to exaggerate the seriousness of the consequences. But Layla still doesn’t intend to work with you. She’s planning to contact our other partners. Be prepared. Otherwise, we’ll be exposed!”
Ethan was playing his role–heartedly.
The Lewis Group’s other projects were running smoothly and were only facing minor problems. Ethan could handle them.
“Got it,” Dominick replied in a deep voice.
Lola was still waiting for Ethan’s message. She couldn’t wait and asked as soon as he returned to the office.
“Ethan, how’s it? Can your friend help?”
Ethan looked helpless. “They couldn’t do anything
ther. They said the Lewis Group is such a giant, and they are powerless.”
