As soon as Avery pointed at the woman, the woman quickly dropped to her knees and began to apologize to Avery and Jeremy. "I'm so sorry for my behavior! I didn't know you were telling the truth," the woman pleaded, her voice filled with regret.Avery's anger was clear as she scolded the woman, her voice full of frustration and disgust. "Listen to yourself! You accused innocent people of lying just to feed your own ego," Avery snapped, her words sharp and unforgiving. "You don't deserve my forgiveness and I wish I could punish you and this nosy crowd who don't know how to mind their own business," Avery yelled, pointing her finger at the crowd, who looked scared and started to disperse, fearing that Jeremy might punish them too.The Boss approached Jeremy with a look of remorse on his face. "Please accept my deepest apologies for the behavior of my staff. It will never happen again," he said, bowing his head in contrition.Avery's anger remained unabated. "The fact that it happened at
After finally arriving in the United Kingdom, Jeremy headed for the meeting with the foreign clients because he couldn't miss it. He asked the person who was sent by Jefferson to take his family to the hotel while he rushed off to the meeting. He was late because of a delay at the airport, and he didn't like being late or having problems because of other people's mistakes. That was why he let Avery punish the woman who caused the delay.Jeremy was already two hours late for the meeting, so he knew he had to hurry. Jeremy understood that the foreign client had likely tried to reach him during the flight, but his phone was turned off due to the flight regulations.As the car came to a stop in the parking lot of an impressive skyscraper, Jeremy could deduce that the foreign clients were likely one of the most important companies in the United Kingdom, based on the prominence of their building.As soon as he stepped out of the car, a man who seemed to have been waiting for Jeremy's arri
"Now, Mr. Nathaniel, you need to give us good reasons why we should keep working with you. If you can't, we'll have to go with Mr. James," The CEO said.Mr. James gave a small laugh. "I've been in this business for a long time, and I'm very good at what I do," he said to Jeremy. He was indirectly telling Jeremy that he was better than him.Jeremy felt insulted by the men's attempts to belittle his abilities. The fact that Blue Silver wouldn't be affected by losing these partners made him even angrier. The only reason he was willing to endure their insults was for his father. He didn't want his father to be upset when he got better and found out that one of his oldest partners had left."I understand your hesitation," he said, his voice firm but respectful. "But I can assure you that Blue Silver is not only the most experienced in this industry, but also the most innovative. We are always on the forefront of new technologies, which means we can offer you the best solutions for your b
“This was not our agreement!” The boardroom erupted in commotion as Mr. James pounded the table with his fists, venting his rage with every crash. The CEO, visibly irritated by the outburst, spoke with a thunderous tone. "I don't understand. What was our agreement?" he demanded, his voice resounding throughout the room. Mr. James shouted, his voice quivering with indignation. "You promised me that you would be partnering with my company! That's why I canceled all of my other agreements with other companies. You lied to me!" The CEO sighed in exasperation, his expression turning dark with annoyance. "No, I never told you that," he countered, his voice steady and firm. "I clearly stated that we had multiple partners and that we would choose the best among them. You must have misunderstood me." The conversation quickly devolved into a heated argument, with Mr. James continuing to press the CEO for answers, while the rest of the board watched on with mounting tension. "You're trying to
As the thunderous echoes of Mr. James's departure faded into silence, the CEO cleared his throat and addressed the board, his voice a model of calm and composure. "Now that the matter of Mr. James is behind us, we can finally move forward," he said, his eyes scanning the faces of the other board members. "I am pleased to announce that we will be maintaining our partnership with the Nathaniel family."Jeremy, seated at the table, nodded slowly, a smile stretching across his face, although a hint of unease flickered in his eyes. he was a bit worried with how James had stared at him before leaving. Jeremy's smile broadened, the nervousness in his eyes hidden by a mask of confidence. "We appreciate your trust in us," he said, his voice sincere and humble. "You won't regret your decision. You have my word on that."The other board members nodded in agreement, their expressions a mix of approval and relief. The decision had been made, and now it was time to move forward. But even as the bo
Avery smiled at her husband, ignoring the ringing phone. She was in a blissful moment with him, and nothing could ruin it. She turned to Jeremy and asked, "When can we start our project?" She was excited and eager to begin. Jeremy's smile was warm and genuine as he replied, "We can start as soon as we get home." When the phone rang again, Jeremy turned to Avery and suggested, "You should answer it. The caller seems persistent." Avery nodded and agreed, "Yes, it could be something important. I'll pick up, but I don't want anything interfering with our vacation." She walked over to the phone and picked it up, but the line had already gone dead. "Hmm, that's strange," Avery said, furrowing her brow. She put the phone back down and turned to Jeremy with a shrug. "Looks like whoever it was hung up. I'm sure it wasn't anything important. Now, let's get back to our plans. We don't want to waste any more of our precious vacation time." Just as Avery was about to leave, the phone rang yet
A sense of dread hung heavy in the air, like a cloud of poison gas threatening to suffocate them both."What was that all about?" Avery asked, her voice shaky. "Who are these people? And what contract?"Jeremy turned to face her, his expression grim. "I don't know," he admitted, the words feeling like lead in his throat. "But we're going to find out."The phone rang again, its shrill ring cutting through the tension like a scream. Jeremy's hand hovered over the phone, hesitant to answer, but knowing he had to.With a deep breath, Jeremy pressed the phone to his ear."Hello?" he said, his voice guarded."We're watching you," the robotic voice hissed, the sound of it like nails on a chalkboard. "And we know that your wife is carrying the heir to the Nathaniel fortune. If you don't want any harm to come to her or your children, you'll do exactly as we say."The line went dead again, leaving Jeremy and Avery standing in stunned silence. Their world had just been upended, the safety they h
Jeremy's jaw clenched in determination, the information he had just received had only served to fuel his curiosity.He knew he had heard about the company before but he couldn't place his fingers on how he got to know about it. His mind was racing hard, causing his brows to draw together as he tried to wrap his head around the seemingly puzzle.Just like a flash; after about ten minutes of brainstorming, he was hit. It began to fall in place how he heard about it. His eyes sparkled at the glimpse of understanding, which snapped him off his thoughts, "Kaiden!" He blurted out.His furrow deepened. Somewhere deep within him, he knew it was linked to the Kaiden family, but he wasn't certain about it.At that instant, he turned back inside, his strides long and purposeful, straight to the desk where he had left his laptop.His hands moved like a robot on the keyboard as he sought for informations concerning his findings. He sought for informations about Mr. James, since he wasn't certain a
