When Evadne found out from Alvin that Ada had left the fashion show early, she hurried to the underground parking lot with Jason.
By then, Ada was already looking tired, sitting in her nanny car.
Just as the car door was about to close, a pair of pristine hands grabbed the door and pushed it open with force!
"Miss Ada, I get it, you're pissed off after seeing the trending topic. Hell, I'm pissed too, because the photos were leaked by someone else. We at K Orld Hotel had no idea!"
Evadne, who had rushed over, was out of breath with sweat pouring down her forehead.
Ada was smiling at Evadne. With her rich acting experience, she had a good control over her expressions and emotions.
She didn't lose her temper, but simply said, "Ms. Evadne, we have a contract, so I know you guys might really be in the dark. I believe you're a person of principles, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten Mr. Alvin's approval."
After Ada said this, Jason's eyes lit up. He thought there might be a chance to salvage the situation.
However, Ada's next words were like a bucket of cold water thrown over him and Evadne.
"But you can't deny, K Orld Hotel has serious problems with confidentiality, and as the general manager, you can't shirk your responsibilities.
This time it was the wedding setup that got leaked, next time it could be client information. K Orld Hotel's management has undeniable oversight issues, which led to today's incident. Am I right, Ms. Evadne?"
Ugh, this woman was so difficult to deal with. Her attitude changed just like that!
Jason was flushed. He really wanted to defend Evadne!
He could take any harsh words, even a beating, but he couldn't stand others questioning Evadne. He couldn't bear to see the girl he'd always cared for being wronged!
Evadne raised her hand to stop Jason, took a deep breath, and admitted her mistake with grace.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ada, this incident is indeed due to our management issues. We let someone with ill intentions in and that person leaked the wedding setup. As the hotel manager, I am responsible."
"Ms. Evadne." Jason's eyes were red and he clenched his fists in anger.
"Ms. Evadne, the fact that you admitted your mistake is already better than many managers. But no matter the reason, you guys violated the contract, so I can only act according to the contract and end the cooperation with K Orld Hotel. Otherwise, there would be no point in us signing a contract, right?"
With a slight smile, Ada signaled her agent to close the door.
"Miss Ada, please wait a moment!"
Evadne took the box from Jason and handed it to Ada, her tone firm yet polite, "You chose to terminate our cooperation, and I understand your decision. Even though we can't work together now, our friendship still exists. I've prepared the dessert you wanted last time. I came here today to give it to you, please accept it."
Ada looked at the box for a few seconds but didn't take it. She just said, "Ms. Evadne, I really appreciate your kindness. If we have a chance to work together again, I'll accept it."
Evadne bit her lip hard, watching as the nanny car drove away.
"Ada rejecting your gift is a public humiliation to you! This is too much!" Jason said angrily, but he was powerless against her.
After all, it was their fault.
"I can understand why she did this. I don't consider it a humiliation. After all, our cooperation is over, and she has no reason to accept my gift. She's getting married soon and with this happening now, she must be troubled. After all, she still needs to find another hotel." Evadne took a deep breath and calmed her emotions, "Even if Ada no longer works with us, I can't just let this slide. What we need to do now is to find the traitor who betrayed me, who betrayed us."
"You're talking about a traitor?" Jason asked in surprise, "You suspect the problem lies with our own people? Isn't it Glynnis who's messing things up behind the scenes?"
"Even if Glynnis is causing trouble, without someone inside colluding with her, she wouldn't succeed. So, we first need to ensure internal stability." Evadne's eyes sparkled with determination, "It seems someone is plotting against me. I'll show them I'm not to be messed with!"
