The siblings looked around and saw a handsome man in white clothes and a hat. He was holding a gold club, and then he bent over a little and swung it. He swayed as the club swung ahead.
âGood swing, Mr. York!â said Flynn. It was a genuine praise, however.
Benjamin turned back and told Janie, âTheyâre here.â
Janie was wearing a blue short skirt, and she smiled. âGood. Theyâre getting it for what they did to Emma.
âLetâs go.â Benjamin handed the golf club to his assistant and turned around, and Janie followed him quickly.
They came to the parasol, and Flynn quickly shook hands with Benjamin.
âSit.â Benjamin took a seat.
Janie was standing right behind him.
Evelyn smiled at her sheepishly. âItâs been a while, Janie.â
âWeâre not friends, really.â Janie smiled.
Evelyn felt a little embarrassed, but she couldnât make any retorts.
Flynn said politely, âMr. York, this decision came on such short notice. Why did you suddenly do this to us?â
âItâs business. Things change in the blink of an eye.â Benjamin smiled. âItâs normal.â
âBut at least tell us what we did wrong. We can improve.â
âYou guys did well. Thereâs nothing to improve. My company just wants to move in a direction you guys canât help with.â
âYou cut off all supplies to our company and snatched the Rykersâ market share, and youâre willing to pay for the breach of contract. This is no coincidence. Something happened.â
âNot at all. This is just a strategic change,â said Benjamin. âIf you have any trouble with it, you might have to handle it yourself.â
âMay I please ask you to rescind your decision?â asked Flynn. âJust resuming the supply of herbs to us will be more than plenty.â
âNot at the moment,â said Benjamin. âI have a better prospective partner. I see no reason not to work with them.â
âUmâ¦â Just when Flynn was about to say something, his phone rang. It was from the presidentâs office. He shivered and took the call. âDad.â
âWhat is Evelyn doing?â Paul roared. âItâs only been an hour, and we lost everything we had in Struyria!â
Flynn said, âIâm talking to Adelmarâs boss right now. Weâll come to a solution.â
âAdelmarâs not the only problem here!â roared aul. âA few of our partners are canceling their contract too!â
âWhat?â Flynn froze, and beads of sweat poured forth from his forehead.
Evelyn heard that, and she turned pale, and she sweated buckets.
âGet Evelyn on the phone!â growled Paul.
Flynn frowned and handed the phone to Evelyn.
With trembling hands, Evelyn took the phone. âDad,â she whispered.
âDo not call me that!â said Paul angrily. âDo you have any idea how much youâve cost us?â
Evelyn shivered from her fatherâs anger, and she felt her eardrums explode, so she put some distance between her and the phone.
âWho did you cross this time?â Paul roared. âI just handed business over to you, and you brought it down in a single hour! Who the f*ck did you cross? I donât f*cking care. Just go on your knees and beg for their forgiveness! Suck a d*ck or two if you have to!â
âDadâ¦â
Paul hung up in anger, and Evelyn plopped down on her seat, deflated.
