The CEO's Lovely Twins

Chapter 294 One Week Is Impossible

The alarm by the bed was ringing nonstop, so Hayden reached her hand out and pushed randomly, but

it didn’t stop. She then opened eyes and found out that it was still middle of the night and it was three

o’clock in the morning.

She then realized that it was the phone’s buzzing.

“President Downey, there is an accident in the warehouse.”

Dante’s words were echoing in Hayden’s ear on the way she went to the warehouse. There was still

burning fire when Joseph drove Hayden to the warehouse. Two firefighting trucks were combating the

fire and fire fighters tried to use huge volumes of water to contain the fire. But it didn’t seem to be

working.

“What happened?”

Hayden immediately saw Dante right after she got off the car. He looked dirty and seemed that he’d

just run out of the fire scene.

“I checked the inventory and left at eight o’clock. Then I asked Freddie to check this batch of products

again last tonight, but he called one hour ago and said there was a fire. We didn’t know the cause of

the fire yet, but we are definitely not the one to blame.”

“What’s the point of saying that?”

Holding her forehead, Hayden was nearly out of breath.

Amid panicking, she just blurted out, “We’re one week till the deadline! I told you that we should deliver

these products today to avoid any unpredicted troubles, but you just had to send them back to the

warehouse! Why were you so paranoid!”

Dante’s eyes were filled with redness, but he just lowered his head and didn’t respond to Hayden’s

yelling.

Joseph can’t bear to watch anymore and stopped Hayden, “Stay calm. The fire hasn’t been put out yet.

We don’t know what happened. It’s useless to yell at him. we should think some solutions.”

“What solutions? We’re done for!”

Hayden was pretty agitated and yelled at Joseph. She then furiously kicked the cardboard box next to

her aside.

This was Green Lemon’s first order and got off on a rocky start. They were finally about to close the

deal, but this fire just happened suddenly.

Hayden thought that this was definitely a man-made disaster.

She was afraid that something like this would happen before, so she proposed they should send this

first batch to the West Group, but Dante insisted on sending all of the products together. Then this

accident happened.

Anna also got the call and rushed to the warehouse. Exchanging eye look, Anna and Joseph each

guarded one side and separated Hayden and Dante so they can have room to cool off.

Though Dante didn’t say anything, he was also furious inside.

He quit his last job because his former supervisor didn’t believe in him and wanted to blame him for

something that he had never done. Now, he encountered a similar situation and felt terrible.

“Calm down first.”

Bringing Hayden back to the car, Joseph took off his jacket and covered her shoulder. “It’s not that

terrible.”

“Is it? But I think it’s absolutely awful. I’m not competent enough to manage the whole Group. I should Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

have just run Green Lemon myself, but I throw everything to Dante.” Hayden was pretty devastated

and muttered the whole sentence with her head burying in the knee.

Looking at her stricken figure, Joseph took a deep breath and then said, “We have two solutions now.

The first is that we lose money to save our commercial credit. We can negotiate with the West Group to

see if we can postpone half a month to deliver the products, but we have to pay at least 50% of penalty.

So we would lose a pretty hefty of money on this deal.”

“The worst scenario would be we lose all the money and can’t still buy back our credit.” Clenching her

fist, Hayden said, “Franklin must be waiting for the time which we lose both the money and credit, so he

can acquire the company.”

“We would use the second solution then.” Joseph said calmly. “We have one week till the due day.

Dante said that this warehouse only stored half of our products and the other half was in the secondary

factory. So we can pay high price to activate all the factories in Nanking to deliver this half of products

within a week.”

“One week? It’s impossible.”

“Nothing is impossible. It all depends on the human effort.” Hayden’s agitated mood was slowly

smoothened by Joseph’s firm eyes.

The fire was finally put out by the daybreak. Joseph had two technicians to wait for the news onsite and

asked other people to leave.

Hayden called an emergency meeting at the company the first thing in the morning and sent different

people to all the secondary factories in Nanking to negotiate all the orders. She was pretty busy the

whole time and didn’t get the time to speak to Dante when she met him.

“Dante, President Downey was just panicking. She didn’t really mean to blame you. Don’t think too

much of it.”

Standing in the pantry, Anna consoled Dante.

Dante’s face was tanned by the sizzling sun and people really can’t see his look.

They suddenly heard a conversation when they were about to leave, “Well, I think it’s probably people

within the company who started the fire. Don’t you hear that our company is about to be acquired by ST

Group? But President Downey didn’t agree and was negotiating with St Group.”

“Within the company? Who it can be? Cut the nonsense.”

“Well, it can only be the person who got to the site first.”

Hearing their words, Anna glanced at Dante nervously, then she was pulled back when she was about

to step out.

“What? Designer Burke? It can’t be.” Then people outside started discussing heatedly.

“Why it can’t be? Don’t you guys know his past experience? You know he was fired before because he

did such treacherous behavior. He was living in the company and was working hard, but President

Downey didn’t even offer him a place to live. Don’t you see why?”

The person who was talking acted like she knew everything.

“Don’t you guys know he lives in the company? That break room in the designer office is filled with his

stuff. He must choose to leave if the West Group offers him something.”

“Well, I’m afraid that the West Group wouldn’t be able to offer what I want.”

Dante’s loud and clear voice came from the pantry.

People immediately got nervous and were avoiding his eyes.

“I’m living in the company because I have to expedite my work on the designer contest. As for the

inferior treatment that President Downey offered me, I’m really curious what kind of treatment all the

top designers in the Nanking are having.”

Dante glanced at the crowd indifferently and said, “The Peony Mansion in the Summer Road is the

place that President Downey assigned me. You can google its square meter price yourself. Sure, the

West Group can offer me this kind of villa, but I’m afraid that its new president doesn’t have the power

to grant that much of money.”

All people stayed silent.

They all knew Summer Road’s house had the highest price in all Nanking and people wouldn’t be able

to buy a Republic Mansion even you got the money.

“Why are you all circling around Dante?”

Dressed in a dark green suede windbreaker and wide-leg trousers, Hayden asked briskly. Then she

stood still and said, “I don’t want to hire people who are nosy and dreaming about living in a mansion.”
