Larry looked up and stared ahead, feeling torn about what he should do.
He knew the attendees would all be prominent figures, but more importantly, he knew the party organizer was not one to be trifled with.
Forget it. I'll just go.
“Alright. Got it,” Larry replied plainly before continuing with his work.
It was clear that Larry wasn't in a mood to talk, so Della left the office without saying anything else.
“Hey, Ms. Duff. You're here!” Caspian greeted when he bumped into Della in the corridor.
“Caspian, don't forget to remind Larry about the party tonight,” Della replied curtly before continuing on her way.
Caspian cocked his head in confusion at Della's retreating figure. Party? What party? Why haven't I heard of this before?
“Larry, I heard there's a party tonight... “ Caspian exclaimed as soon as he stepped into the office.
Larry was still far from enthused about the party as he hummed in response.
He had absolutely no desire to attend, but judging by the current state of Norton Corporation, this networking opportunity might just be what they needed.
“How's the investigation coming along?” Larry asked.
“I found out that the business partners who
terminated the contract had spoken to Jake beforehand.”
Larry clenched his fists tightly upon hearing that, his eyes ablaze with anger. I knew it! It wqₛ all Jake's doing!
“What should we do next, Larry?” Caspian added.
“I'm going to have a good chat with those business partners,” Larry replied with an air of steely determination.
Through sheer hard work and getting partnerships with prominent domestic enterprises, Larry had managed to scale Norton Corporation to greater heights. But all his efforts were so easily destroyed when Jake decided to meddle in it.
Jake, you're indeed a vicious man!
“Track down every one of those business partners and send me their locations!” Larry ordered.
Caspian immediately did as instructed, and before long, Larry had all the information he needed.
The very people Larry was hunting down were all in a private room of the hotel, chatting away excitedly.
“How do you think Larry would try to resolve this issue?”
“Ha! Who knows?”
