After sending away the ‘nephew’, Selena ran into the bathroom and heaved. When she was done, she saw Jude waiting for her at the door.
“Do you think your plan is going to work?”
Selena drank a cup of water to soothe her nausea. “It will work. I won’t lose any money from that offer. Those who come to me after him would only be offered 1.2 times or at the market price. As for those who come too late, they could only sell their shares at half of the market price. Even if they refuse to sell, they have no choice because what awaits them is termination. At that time, they won’t even have a secure position in the company. In their many years of employment, they knew very well how much money they took under the table in different dealings. If I decide to dig into each of their wrongdoings, not only would they not profit from it, they would be sentenced to prison!”
Jude crossed her arms and looked knowingly at Selena. “All businessmen are crafty, and you’re no exception. You’re getting more calculative by the day—”
Suddenly, Jude was overwhelmed by a wave of nausea, and she went into the bathroom to vomit right after Selena came out.
The two took turns to puke, effectively taking over the bathroom.
After Jude was done and emerged from the bathroom, Selena gave her a look. “Jude, you should go home. I’m fine.”
“You’re fine? You don’t seem so. Too many things have been happening. Thank God JNS Corporation has its president now, so you can relax a little on that front. But what about Fowler Corporation and Empire Group? You’re a pregnant woman, but you have so many issues to deal with. You’re carrying a baby while taking care of three children. Stop acting like you are fine!”
Jude was only putting Selena down because she wanted her friend to rest.
“As another pregnant woman who gets morning sickness all the time, you’re not of much help to me.”
“I…” Jude had nothing to say to that. Apart from providing moral support, she felt that she was useless. The most she could do was to help Selena babysit the children.
“How dare you complain about me!” Jude playfully jabbed at Selena’s chest.
