Lowe's Pharmaceutical had a factory in the outskirts of Edoland, which was also the production department of the company.
For the next few days, Miranda practically lived there, personally supervising the production process.
Finally, after several days of hard work, they had produced their first batch of drugs. However, Miranda couldn't help feeling uneasy about it.
Standing in the warehouse among piles and piles of freshly-made drugs that had just come off the assembly line, Miranda furrowed her brows tightly together.
Sonny still hadn't shown up yet. In fact, when she tried to call him today he didn't even answer his phone.
"Should we continue with production?" The factory manager asked while standing beside her.
"Let's slow down for now," replied Miranda with a serious expression on her face.
The next moment she turned to look at Lachlan who was standing by her side with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
These past few days as "assistant CEO", he always followed around wherever she went without anything else to do but watch over things.
"What are we supposed to do? You said we should keep producing! But Sonny hasn't returned yet and our sales channels aren't open!" complained Miranda.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Sonny.
"It's okay! If he doesn't come, someone else will. We might need to keep producing these drugs, we can't stop," Lachlan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Miranda looked at him skeptically. The factory manager and several warehouse workers also expressed doubt.
"Hahaha, I can't believe what I just heard!"
At that moment, a playful laugh echoed through the room. Romeo and Eliza walked in with a group of people.
"Willis, are you trying to kill my niece? Still producing drugs? And complaining about not losing enough?" Eliza said sarcastically.
"What are you doing here?" Miranda asked coldly upon seeing them. She felt an uneasy feeling in her heart as she noticed the Lowe's Pharmaceutical executives following behind them - the same ones who threatened to resign or take leave last time.
Romeo sneered. In the next moment, he pointed at the drugs piled up in the warehouse and turned to the executives behind him. "Take a look! You didn't want to resign early, did you? Well, now that our pharmaceutical company is going down, I wonder what you'll do?"
"Hahaha," he continued. "I checked and found out that it cost nearly 1 million dollar to produce this batch of drugs. That's almost equivalent to our monthly revenue. If we can't sell them, we'll be in debt!"
Eliza chimed in with a smirk on her face, "You guys believed Lachlan when he said there would be billions of orders for the company? He's just a useless guy! Don't you know that?"
The executives' faces turned uncertain.
"Ms. Lowe," Macy asked hesitantly, "can we sell these drugs?"
Miranda struggled for an answer before finally saying, "Our marketing department has been working hard but it's not enough."
"Our funds are running low because of this production too," added the financial manager with a sigh.
To be honest, if Lachlan hadn't exposed their dirty secrets earlier on one by one they would have left already.
