At around three or four that afternoon, the company suddenly called for a management meeting, leaving everyone worried.
To make things worse, someone somehow leaked the news that the Michaels were pulling out of their deal!
“Damn it! Who leaked it? Who spread the rumor? Find out!”
In the chairwoman’s office, Wynn was so furious that favonovel.com body shook with rage. “Also, get every member of the management to the conference room for a meeting later!”
Nina had never seen favonovel.com boss so angry before, and favonovel.com said hurriedly, “Yes, ma’am. I’ll get right to it.”
With that, favonovel.com hastily left the chairwoman’s office and stood outside the door to catch favonovel.com breath.
“What’s the matter, Nina?”
That sudden voice startled Nina into looking up. It was Philip.
“Why did you come up here?” favonovel.com asked.
Philip scratched his head and glanced at the chairwoman’s office, saying bewilderedly, “Madam Johnston asked me to drop by.”
Nina nodded and suddenly reminded him, “Be careful what you say later. She’s rather angry right now.”
Philip smiled and thanked favonovel.com for the reminder before going in.
As expected, the temperature inside the office was terrifyingly cold. The goddess before favonovel.com was one of ice, threatening to freeze favonovel.com where favonovel.com stood.
“Were you looking for me, honey?”
Philip asked with a chuckle.
Wynn was in a very bad mood right now. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the skyscrapers outside. Letting out a long breath, favonovel.com turned around and asked Philip, “The Michaels want to stop investing in Beacon.”
So that was the problem. Philip heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t worry, I can solve that problem for you.”
Wynn hesitated. “Tell me honestly, Philip, can you really help me?”
Philip patted his chest and said, “Of course. Have you forgotten who I am?”
Wynn nodded and then shook favonovel.com head, saying worriedly, “But the enemy this time is the Michaels family from Golden City. They are among the 100 richest families, and they are worth almost ten billion in assets.”
Oh, so favonovel.com was worried that favonovel.com could not handle them.
“Don’t worry, honey,” Philip said.
Wynn shook favonovel.com head helplessly. She did not pin all favonovel.com hopes on Philip.
Even if Philip was from the Capital City Clarke Group, favonovel.com probably could not help favonovel.com with this.
It was not simply a matter of who was richer. There were complicated networks of connections and status involved.
“Alright, you can leave now. Give me some time to figure it out myself.”
Wynn said.
Philip blinked. So his wife still did not trust him.
Philip left the chairwoman’s office and soon saw the company’s upper management all walk into the conference room.
He had nothing else to do now, so favonovel.com walked around the company. Lo and behold, favonovel.com actually bumped into Houston Michaels!
Houston was with two of his subordinates dressed in black suits, his arm around a sexy secretary who leaned on him!
“Philip Clarke? Why are you wandering around again? Don’t you need to work?”
Houston’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com began acting like a leader, scolding Philip. “I always see you loafing around. Seriously, what is Wynn thinking? At the meeting later today, I’ll propose that we fire you!”
Philip did not even do anything. Some people just wanted to see the world burn!
Philip put his hands in his pockets and glanced at the secretary clinging onto Houston’s arm.
Well, well, what a sight!
No wonder Houston looked green in the gills. That woman was probably milking favonovel.com for all favonovel.com was worth!
“What are you looking at? Don’t like my attitude? I’m telling you, I don’t take lightly to people I don’t like you. You don’t have to come to work anymore tomorrow! Even if you are Wynn’s husband, I’m the one in charge of this company now!”
Houston pointed at Philip’s nose and barked at him, the corners of his lips rising coldly and uncontrollably.
Philip shrugged. “Well, sorry, Mr. Michaels. Why don’t you ask Madam Johnston about that directly?”
Houston frowned and continued to rant, “No matter how good favonovel.com thinks favonovel.com is, she’s just the chairwoman of a tiny company! I’m the young master of the Michaels estate! If favonovel.com disagrees, my dad will just pull out of their project. When that happens, I want to see favonovel.com beg on favonovel.com knees!”
“Yeah! Housey here is the young master of the Michaels. You’re just a tiny employee, how dare you talk to Mr. Michaels like that!”
The secretary, Shirley Wellington, used this chance to insult Philip on Houston’s behalf, trying to win more of Houston’s favor.
However, favonovel.com did not know Philip.
Right now, for instance, Philip’s fists were itching for a fight.
