Shirley was sitting behind her office desk and was in the midst of thinking how to contact Garrick, but instead, she saw the two enter without knocking.
She scrunched her eyebrows together. "Don't you two know how to knock?"
Jayden and Shawn looked at each other and ignored her question.
"You guys gave me one week and it's not even been a week yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Long ago, Veronica had told her that the best way to deal with Jayden and Shawn was to be firm with them, so she remembered that.
Hence, she closed her file and put on a serious act. "Instead of wasting your time here talking nonsense, why don't you use the time to train with your teammates? Don't embarrass the company by losing the game after I find you a sponsor."
Those words poked directly at Jayden and Shawn's soft spot, which rendered them dumbfounded.
"Sure. Judging from your words, I see you're confident that you can succeed. Jay and I will be waiting for your good news, then." With rolling eyes, Shawn then turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Jayden did not say anything; he coldly glanced at her and followed Shawn.
After the office was back to being silent, Shirley resignedly leaned against her office chair and heaved out a long breath while feeling stressed.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The phone on the table began to ring, so she picked it up and looked at it. On the screen were Skyler's name and number.
Just one look at it was enough to make her decline the call immediately.
He had been constantly calling her since last night, but when she recalled how he had degraded her back at Philwind Hotel's Rose Lounge, she could not help but feel angry. Therefore, she did not pick up any of his calls.
After the call ended, he phoned again, but she hung up without any hesitance once again.
The silence only remained for a while before the phone rang again.
Frustrated, Shirley did not even look at the screen when she picked up the call and placed it beside her ear before roaring, "Skyler Robins, don't you have anything to do? Why do you keep calling me?"
