“Larry needs our help? The Larry?”
“I know right? How is that possible?”
People gossiped among themselves and looked at each other in disbelief.
“I believe all of you wouldn't want to stay in a small company forever, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to be under the tutelage of that mentor, who's nowhere near as good as he's made out to be,” Larry continued to convince the designers, “If you're willing to join me, I can provide you the best platform...”
He was never afraid of rejection because he knew these designers were ambitious men with big dreams.
“I'm in!” suddenly, a designer stood up and
exclaimed.
“Count me in!” Another one responded.
Soon, all the designers had unanimously agreed to work for Larry.
“But I want to remind all of you to keep this secret.” A hard glint flashed across Larry's eyes. “I don't want people to know that I'm venturing into the fashion industry, so I hope all of you will not tell anyone about it.”
All the designers understood his concern and agreed to keep it a secret.
With that, Larry's partnership with these designers began.
Larry continued his work at the Norton Corporation during the day and focused on his fashion company at night.
As days went by, Della wondered what Larry was busy with. She decided to visit the Norton Corporation to check on him. Coincidentally, Caspian was not around.
Meanwhile, Larry was lying on the couch in his office while staring out of the window.
Della observed him from a distance and heaved a sigh of relief. She believed Larry had yet to figure out a solution to the problem.
“Larry.” Della knocked on the door and came in.
“Yes?” Larry kept his eyes shut. He did not feel like entertaining this woman.
How can he be so calm? The Norton Corporation is on the verge of bankruptcy, yet he still has time to take a nap? Della sat beside him and stared at his face.
What a handsome man! But too bad...
