Chapter 248
Jolie was doubtful it would work, but she did as Loraine said. But to her surprise, it worked!
As soon as the agent heard that Loraine was requesting help, he immediately changed his tone and said that he would inform Mr. T immediately.
“It worked! He’s going to put us in contact with Mr. T!”
Jolie was joyful as she rushed into the office, just in time for
Loraine’s phone to ring.
Loraine gestured for Jolie to keep quiet as she picked up the call.
The intimate, charming voice of a man carried through the receiver.
“Why didn’t you just call me yourself? You know that you don’t have to contact me through my agent. We’re closer than that.”
In their meeting, Loraine calmed the team members’ nerves temporarily by promising Mr. T could pull through on the project.
However, as time went by, they hadn’t heard anything on his arrival, and Nichol was down Loraine’s neck, trying to take the project. It had everyone feeling uneasy.
Nichol put pressure on Loraine again and asked her to use the original plan of Bryant Group. He even invited Klein to attend the meeting to back him up.
“Mr. Moore, Loraine’s design has caused too much negative press and waste of time and money. She’s still too stubborn to let go of her impossible design, which is dragging the entire project down!”
Klein couldn’t deny his statement, and turned to Loraine.
“Miss Torres, I appreciate your design, but he’s right. Since the project is unable to be continued, I suggest we adjust and go with
Bryant Group’s design.”
“Exactly! This project is flushing money down the drain every day that we have to delay. We can’t afford it!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Plus, there’s nothing inherently wrong with Bryant Group’s design.”
Employees from Universe Group felt the pressure as Bryant Group took the opportunity to press Loraine to give in.
Although Bryant Group and Universe Group were in a cooperative relationship now, they would still competitors once this project was finished. They were eager to see failure from their opponents.
Loraine spoke quickly as she felt that Klein was about to promote
Nichol to be the project leader.
“Mr. Moore, I’ve invited someone to work with us that can solve the problem we’re facing. Construction will go smoothly from here on out.”
“Impossible! How could you find someone to solve the problem so quickly?” Nichol was skeptical.
