My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 208

"There are still some things I haven't dealt with. The payroll and training lists have yet to be completed." Yvette Jordan couldn't leave like this. She had given her life's efforts to the company, so how could she just leave like that?

Dread frowned and asked, "How many days do you need?"

He was going to find someone to take over the company. It would probably get him 300,000 to 500,000 dollars.

"Four days." Yvette sighed. She didn't know how to tell this to Chuck Cannon.

"Four days? Is that enough?"

Dread suddenly sneered. He planned to let Yvette deal with these and at least pay the salaries of the employees. He wouldn't want anything unexpected to happen.

He snickered, "Do you want me to give you a few more days? You just have to accompany me once and I'll give you all the time you need. What do you say?"

Yvette said nothing but just stared at him sharply. Dread felt uncomfortable and quickly snorted, "Four days it is then! I'll come back in four days and you'd better transfer the company's ownership to me properly. If you still mope around here after it's done, don't blame me for throwing you out by force! Come on!"

Dread left with his men.

Yvette sat down and stared blankly at her office. She had sat here for ages, but now everything seemed different since the company was no longer hers. She struggled to hold back her tears. She thought to herself, "It's alright if the company is gone, I could still make money and open another one. It's fine, it's not a big deal ..."

However, no amount of comforting was enough to stop her tears from flowing. She was extremely upset. The company's business has just gotten better recently but none of it mattered anymore since it was no longer hers.

She wiped away her tears and really wanted to call Chuck, but she just couldn't bring herself to call him. She was about to tuck her phone away when she noticed a message from the 'baller' transferring another 700,000 dollars to her.

Yvette sighed. She needed money to process the employee's payroll, so she had no choice to accept the money. She hesitated but soon accepted the money. However, she made sure to return 600,000 dollars back to him. Now that she had lost her company, so she didn't need so much money.

She sent a message to the 'baller' telling him that she would pay him the money back in a month.

100,000 dollars plus 500,000 dollars was a total of 600,000 dollars of debt. Yvette felt bitter for owing so much money. She definitely had to plan properly in a month or she would never be able to return the money.

She also had another problem. How was she supposed to tell Chuck?

Yvette was sullen. In fact, she really wanted Chuck to come over and ask him to help her solve this issue. However, she already told him last night that she would solve it herself. If Chuck came over, he would definitely be disappointed by her. Yvette did not dare to take that risk.

She took a deep breath and called in all the staff.

Then, she started telling them the inevitable truth, "I'm really sorry, there's been some problems in the company. Everyone, please finish up your work in four days and I'll pay your salaries accordingly."

As soon as she said that, all the staff were surprised! It was too hard to understand!

"What? Director Jordan, wasn't the company doing well recently? How could there be a problem?"

"Yes, Director Jordan, what's wrong with the company?"

"A personal problem," Yvette admitted, feeling even more resentful. Just yesterday, she was doing things in the company confidently, but in just 24 hours the company's ownership had changed. It was as though she was going on a terrible roller coaster that left her depressed and anxious for the future.

"Alas! I didn't expect that working here will soon become a memory. It's been three years..." An employee sighed.

"Yeah, it's too sudden. Director Jordan, since the company is gone, what are you planning to do next? Are you gonna start another business elsewhere?"

"We'll follow you wherever you go, Director Jordan."

"That's right, I'll follow you."

The staffs expressed their opinions one after another. Yvette was moved, but how would she have the money to start another company now? Once she paid their salaries, she would only be left with around 10 to 20 thousand dollars. What could she even do with it?
