Lewis thought it would be a good idea to meet with the CEO of the Barrett Group to discuss their upcoming partnership.
The guard nodded in response. "Yes, I'm sure of it."
"So, buddy, could you please cut me some slack? I just want to have a brief chat with Mr. Barrett. Our two companies are about to collaborate, and I've only met Mr. Gomez so far. I haven't had the chance to meet Mr. Barrett yet."
Terry interjected cautiously, "It seems they have urgent matters to handle today, so it might not be the best time for you to meet with him.
"Mr. Bowen, perhaps it would be best if you leave for now. After all, Mr. Barrett prefers not to be disturbed in such situations. We wouldn't want to leave a negative impression on him, you know?"
Upon hearing this, Lewis couldn't help but recall the recent discussions at the company headquarters regarding the potential termination of their partnership.
Concerned about making a negative impression on Mr. Barrett, Lewis quickly replied, "That's fine, I won't disturb him then. But could you please let Mr. Hopkins know that I stopped by?"
Terry nodded in response. As he watched Lewis depart, he breathed a sigh of relief. Who could have predicted that Timothy would personally visit Nord City?
After all, he had previously shown little interest in the affairs of the branch office.
Certainly, Timothy's sudden appearance in Nord City at this critical juncture was unexpected, and to add to the complexity, he became aware of the collaboration with the Bowen family.
Hopefully, with Ralph being his uncle, Timothy would kindly choose to overlook the situation.
Half an hour later, Timothy emerged from the room with a stern expression. "I refuse to proceed with this partnership with the Bowen family. Without my authorization, the finance department will not release any funds.
"If you insist on going ahead with the Bowens, it will be entirely your decision. You'll have to fund it yourself and bear the full consequences."
