Chapter 424 She fiddled with the doll with her fingers, sighed, and said, “Tell me, where did that young man go?” Across her, the wooden doll stared back with a smile.
Nathaniel called Eloise as soon as he got home, but both of his calls were declined. Seeing this, he assumed that it must be inconvenient for her to pick up his calls, so he dared not to call again. However, he was too agitated to sit still and turned on his computer to look at that day’s sales data and check the situation online.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe saw that the sales were still declining, and although the rate of product returns had decreased, there were still many applications for it.
Nathaniel had already released a statement, so he could not retract it. Now, the only matter he could focus on was to deliberately slow down the after sales process and try to minimize the losses while he rebuilds his reputation.
At the stime, new staff were being recruited to speed up the processes in the laboratory. Nathaniel planned to launch a few new products to replace the tarnished ones without prioritizing quality. In his mind, it is only through introducing new fragrances that the company could continue to strive.
He spun around in his chair restlessly more than 20 times, and his phone finally rang. As soon as he heard this, he instantly grabbed his phone like his life depended on it. When he picked it up and saw that it was indeed a call from Eloise, he quickly picked it up. “Mom!” “Shut up!” A stern voice was heard from the other end of the phone. It was evident that whoever that voice belonged to was trying to keep things under cover.
Nathaniel was stunned for a moment before he quickly returned to his senses. Then, he called out again, “Ms. Neville...” “It seems like you're getting too comfortable with me. You've been overstepping your boundaries too much. Who told you that you could callany tyou want?! Do you not remember what I've said before?!” It was obvious that Eloise was fuming, although she was trying her best to keep her voice down.
“I...” Nathaniel couldn‘t defend himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEloise had mentioned several times that he should not call her out of the blue. Instead, he should leave a message for her to reply at her convenience. She also said only to call her Ms. Neville to avoid being caught.
This was what the two had agreed on. However, Eloise’s attitude toward him had softened a lot recently. She would advise him, and the two would meet up more frequently. That caused him to forget her rules as he let his guard down and called her mom.
Seeing that it was his fault, Nathaniel couldn't refute it and continued to listen earnestly.
“I'm sorry, Ms. Neville. I've made a mistake,” he apologized once she was done.
On the other hand, Eloise seemed calmer after a few deep breaths and her sudden outburst. “Okay, now, let's get down to business.” “To be honest, | feel on edge. | feel like Lily has more dirt on me. Is she waiting forto retaliate?” Although everything was going smoothly at the moment, the uneasiness in Nathaniel’s heart continued to grow. Lily had yet to make a move, yet Nathaniel had a terrible suspicion.
“Lily? What does this have to do with her? Did you go and look for her?!” Eloise asked in surprise.
She had been very occupied the past two days and paid no attention to online news. Naturally, because she had no idea about the trending hot topic, she was baffled to hear Lily's nbeing mentioned.
