Beyond the Divorce
Blow a Gasket Everyone present avoided Atlasâs piercing gaze, afraid he might single them out.
I turned to Eloise and said, âMs. Eloise, as Ms. Harmonyâs manager, why donât you share your thoughts?
Weâre all eager to hear your opinion.â
Eloise hesitated. âI think itâs quiteâ¦.downâtoâearth?â
âThis is pure garbage!â The designer, Steven, chimed in. He was straightforward and didnât care about the consequences. âThis kind of decor is terrible. Do you understand it, or are you just making a mess here?
âMr. Atlas, are you trying to tarnish ATL Empireâs reputation? Who here would buy a house if it was decorated like this? Itâs a joke!â
Steven was truly fearless enough to criticize Atlas directly. Everyone secretly glanced at Atlas to see his reaction.
Then, the photographer mustered the courage to speak up. âIâm sorry, but I canât photograph something.
like this. I have to be responsible for my work!â
The others maintained a cautious attitude, exchanging glances and not daring to speak.
âDownâtoâearth? It looks like a grocery store! What do you take ATL Empire for?â Steven was going all out.
âThe Design Division is worldârenowned, but you want us to put this in a promotional video? What a joke!â
Harmonyâs face turned red, then white the next second. There were glistening beads of sweat on the bridge of her nose.
She gulped, âIâIs this what I asked for? I meantâ¦
Hana interjected, âMs. Harmony, you signed and confirmed this. Everyone heard and saw you confirm it in person!â
Harmony glanced at Atlas. She turned to me once she realized Atlas wasnât even looking at her.
âChloe, you⦠you set me up!â
Well, didnât I say that Harmony lacked brains? How could she accuse me at a time like this?
Nick immediately slammed the table. âNonsensel Seeing that the moment had arrived, I couldnât let the opportunity slip away.
âMs. Harmony, how do you explain this?â I sat up straight, looking at Harmony. âI rushed here without lunch, all because your team called me for this meeting. How can you say I set you up?â
Eloise suddenly stood up. âChloe, donât play dumb. This is all part of your plan. Otherwise, why would your ask us to go to the showroom?â
âWhat a joke. If we didnât go to the showroom, would everyone here see clearly what you want to change? Whoâs being evasive here?â I stood my ground, refusing to back down.
Carolâs rage surprised me. She said, âIf not for Ms. Chloeâs decision to go to the showroom, would you all have done so well today? Changes like this waste Tanum Corporationâs and the project teamâs time. Do you think these are places where you can do whatever you want?
âWe only came up with this after you visited the site. Otherwise, who knew how much longer you wouldâve argued? In the end, youâd push the blame onto us.
âOur furnishings and decor follow international trends. If you are still unhappy, ATL Empire should hire at better designer for Ms. Harmony!â
Carolâs aura was dominant, and her words flowed like a torrent. I saw Atlasâs eyes turn to me again.
at Suddenly, his brows twitched. I looked at him calmly. âMr. Atlas, the decision is yours. If you want to send us a letter, weâll cooperate!â
I unapologetically passed the ball to Atlas. Everyone watched the tense atmosphere, too scared to breathe, awaiting Atlasâs stance.
Atlas stared at me as he spoke decisively. âNo need!â
