A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 93
A Life Debt Repaid
Gary Bryant, the head of the sales department, rushed into Cordyâs office just then, clearly agitated.
âMs. Sachsâ¦â
As Cordy lowered her phone to look at him, he cried, âWhat should we do, Ms. Sachs? Every customer is now demanding a refund and the physical retail stores are crowded with them. All malls nationwide are also complaining to us, demanding that we produce a solution.â
âMs. Sachs!â Tim Hardy, the head of purchasing, soon rushed inside as well. âWe have multiple suppliers demanding payment, or they would sue!â
âMs. Sachs, our customer service department is really falling apart. The lines are all busy, and none of the customers are listening to usâ¦â
Cordy pursed her lips as she looked at her anxious executives. âIâll hold a meeting in ten minutes.
Everyone must be there-I will be presenting a comprehensive solution to this crisis. You all may go now.â
âYes, Ms. Sachs,â they replied, and left despite their worry.
If this situation continued and their autumn collection failed to sell at all, Starstream Groupâs finances would start to stall and they would face bankruptcy in the long run.
Cordy continued to scroll through the news and noticed that Zoe was affected by the scandal, since she was the brand ambassador of Starstream Fashion.
There were people flaming her on Twitter for taking just any job-for being willing to do anything just for the money.
All at once, she was caught in the eye of the storm, with people taking to boycotting any project she was involved in.
Given the immense repercussions, she called Zoe, who soon answered. âHey, Cordy.â
âIâm sorry. I didnât expect this to hurt you so much,â Cordy said earnestly. âAnyway, you can announce through the official channels that youâre severing your endorsement deal with us. You will have my full cooperation in getting you through this PR crisis.â
âWho do you take me for, Cordy Sachs? A turncoat who doesnât care about loyalty?â Zoe snapped, a little angry just then. âI know you were set up, and donât worry-I can hold my own. I have so many fans, and I wonât miss those bandwagoners. Just focus on getting through this PR crisis yourself, and call me if you need me. Iâm ready to help anytime.â
Cordy was actually stunned.
At the moment, everyone was only too eager to cut ties with her, while a public figure like Zoe would be affected worse than most!
âAlso, my dear brother just called me-â
âItâs time for your scene, Zoe!â someone called out from the other end.
âSorry, I have to go, I still have some scenes to shoot. Anyway, just focus on your own end. Donât mind me.â
With that, Zoe quickly hung up.
Even so, Cordy was more or less emotional.
When one was alone and helpless, a single voice of support offered great warmth.
She rose to her feet then, but her phone rang again before she could head to the conference room.
When she saw the caller ID showing Johnâs name, she was left with a myriad of emotions.
She had no idea why he would call her now, since they had not been in touch for a while.
Still, she hesitated for a moment before answering it.
Both of them were silent for seconds.
âI have a meeting,â Cordy eventually said, convinced that they had nothing to talk about.
There were times when explanations would never trump hearsay, just as she was not actually obliged to offer one.
