Thump!
Larry lost it and pounded the wall behind him.
D*mn it! Who's behind all this!
“Larry.” Caspian walked into the office with distress written all over his face.
“What's wrong?” Larry went back to signing documents.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I'm fine.”
“Well, erm—” Caspian was hesitant.
“Spill it!”
“Few of our partners terminated their contracts with us.” Caspian's head drooped as he reported.
Those words got Larry's attention. He couldn't hide his nerves any further.
What the hell is happening?First, Della, and now this.
“And what was their reason?”
Larry stopped what he was doing and sat very still, waiting for a reply.
“It's erm—"
“Just say it!”
“Erm, they said that since you're already with Della, you won't be needing their support anymore. They also said that they're planning to retire soon.” Caspian shuddered.
This is outright bullsh*t! Larry tilted his head towards one side and fell into deep thoughts.
Something's fishy.lt started with some partners calling to end their dealings with Norton Corporation, and then I was drugged and caught on camera. Now, more partners are terminating their contracts with us. It's like someone is orchestrating a show.Who's the mastermind behind this? Larry frowned in confusion and anger.
“Larry, have you been messing with the wrong people lately?”
Not that I know of. I was buzzing like a bee: working overtime, burning the midnight oil, entertaining partners, etc. I didn't even have time for myself, let alone messing with the wrong crowd.
