âThe lunch was my idea. Yulia has nothing to do with this,â Skylar said calmly, placing his fork on the table.Yvonne guffawed. âDo you intend to ask us to leave Yulia alone? Who do you think you are? Yulia should beg for our forgiveness herself.ââWhoâs asking for forgiveness?â Skylar smirked.âThereâs no need to lie,â Yvonne said arrogantly. She had no idea how the morning event had turned out. As a result, she assumed Yulia had asked Skylar to seek her assistance in calming the rowdy crowd.Before Skylar could reply, Yvonne continued, âSince you called for this meeting, you must have known that I paid those people to cause trouble. Yulia always thinks that sheâs so capable. I wanted her to know what it feels like to be unable to argue your way out. How dare she steal my position! I swear to make her life a living hell!â The woman became increasingly agitated as she spoke about Yuliaâs misdeeds.Harry stood up and warned, âDonât blame us for being cruel, Skylar. Yulia must kneel and apologize to my girlfriend if she is to save Kareem Fashion. She must also inform Old Mr. Sue that she wishes to resign as Managing Director and CEO of the company.â He then walked Yvonne out of the room, adding arrogantly just before stepping out the door, âWe have stated our terms clearly. You can think about the offer.âSkylar leisurely took a spoonful of his food before saying, âYou should be getting a call soon.â âWhat do you mean?â Harry and Yvonne looked at the man, puzzled, not knowing what he meant.A familiar ringtone rang out of Harryâs pocket. He took out his phone and saw it was a call from a key client.Harry took the call calmly. âMr. Lange, good afternoon. Do you want to go over the specifics of our contract?âMr. Lange abruptly cut Harry off, âShut up! Thereâs no need for further discussion.ââWhat exactly do you mean, Mr. Lange?â Harryâs face darkened as he had a bad feeling.âIt means Iâm terminating all business dealings with your company,â Mr. Lange announced flatly.âMr.
Lange, Iâ¦â Before Harry could probe further, Mr. Lange ended the call. He could not reach the man anymore because he had been blacklisted.Harry frowned as he tried to figure out what was going on.
Mr. Lange was one of their most important customers, purchasing nearly thirty percent of the companyâs products and accounting for nearly a third of the companyâs profit. Even though Mr. Langeâs withdrawal would not cause the company to fail, it would have a significant impact on profits.âWhatâs wrong, Honey? You look terrible,â Yvonne asked with concern.Before Harry could explain, his phone rang again. His heart skipped a beat when he saw that it was another of the companyâs important clients.The client stated, âWe will no longer purchase your companyâs products in the future. It is not necessary to request a contract renewal. I will pay you the early termination bonus. Good luck.â
