"What? What did you say?" Kyron looked confused. What's with my reputation? What's the problem? What's going on?
Before Kyron could react, he received another call and immediately plastered a smile on his face. "Hi there, how can I help you?"
The person from the other end of the phone said something similar, "Mr. Wandrie. Due to the bad reputation of your company, the Goldstein Corporation would have to terminate all the contracts with you."
What? Another company wants to terminate their contract because of our reputation? What on earth is happening?
In the next few minutes, Kyron had received at least ten calls in one shot. All of them expressed
their intention to stop working with his company.
"The Cloudin Group wishes to end our business partnership with you due to your company's bad reputation."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wandrie, but the Veraston Group has decided to terminate all our contracts with you as your company's reputation is at stake."
Kyron went on and answered several more calls. Finally, he exploded. "Are you calling to tell me your company wants to cut ties with us too?"
"Nope."
Kyron froze for a moment and instantly apologized, "I'm so sorry. I've overreacted earlier..."
"I call to find out if you wish to sign up for our insurance package to protect your company against any reputational damage."
Are you kidding me? Anger swept over, and Kyron instantly threw his phone to the ground. The color drained out of his face, and he shot daggers at Fabian.
Did he do all this to my company? How is it possible? He's just a young man! No way. It can't be him. I must have offended someone influential, and he's doing this to punish me.
