Arielle was the ambassador of Soir Coffee. Back when the advertisement was first released, it became a trending topic.
Clearly, people would recognize her.
Arielle had no intention of causing trouble. “I'll stay in the car.” She reminded him, “Be careful. I saw a few men with baseball bats in their hands.”
“Okay,” came Carter's reply. He then left.
As he was clad in an expensive suit and obviously stood out from the others, his appearance immediately attracted the protesters' gazes.
“Hey! Stop right there!” someone hollered.
In the blink of an eye, Carter was surrounded.
As those protesters couldn't enter Nightshire Group's building since it was guarded by burly bodyguards, they decided to stop any employee they happened to see.
The leader demanded, “Who are you? Do you work in Nightshire Group as an executive?”
Carter adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and shook his head. “I don't work here. I'm Nightshire Group's business partner. After hearing about Soir Coffee's recent negative incidents, I want to dissolve our contract.”
The leader immediately flashed a satisfied grin. He handed his baseball bat to someone else before stepping forward to shake Carter's hand.
“Oh, we're on the same side. Did I scare you?” Carter nodded. “To be honest, yes.” “Sorry about that,” the man responded with a smile. “You're making the right decision by canceling your collaboration with Nightshire Group. We're planning on blowing the matter up and making their share price hit rock bottom. You should hurry and dissolve your contract now!"
Carter's expression froze for a split second.
Make the share price hit rock bottom? This is clearly a part of a bigger scheme!
He couldn't stop himself from saying, “We're on the same side, so I should remind you that the police might arrest you for causing a scene here.”
