Rammos won’t know that he would cause such a mess once he refused to meet Braelynn. He didn’t mean to stand Braelynn up. In the last two meetings, he had something urgent to do last minute. He felt sorry for that. He had planned to meet Braelynn today, but he had to meet Emily first because of the matter of Callum and Emily. That’s why he had to put the appointment with Braelynn aside.
Rammos knew that it wasn’t a good decision. He apologized to Braelynn on phone. He didn’t plan to stand Braelynn up, but he didn’t know that no one could stand it three times. Moreover, he had helped Azalea before, which made Valeria misunderstand him.
Rammos put aside the meeting with Braelynn and immediately made an appointment with Emily. They met in a cafe.
Emily was there when Rammos arrived. He pushed the door open with an apologetic look. “Hello, Ms. Poland! Sorry, I’m late!”
“It’s okay, Mr. Smith. You’re not late. I arrived early!” Emily smiled and invited Rammos to sit down. “What to drink?”
“Green tea! Thank you!”
Emily helped Rammos to order the tea. The waiter closed the door and went out after sending the drinks. Emily asked, “Mr. Smith, what can I do for you?”
Rammos dared not to be arrogant in front of Emily. He immediately nodded and said, “Yes, Ms. Poland, the main reason I asked you out is to talk about Azalea. I have told your words to Mr. Floyd about Azalea.”
“What did he say?”
“Mr. Floyd has never refused but agreed to all your requests. He will let the Floyd family’s company take over Azalea’s acting career. With the intervention of the Floyd family, Azalea will soon return to her past status and even go up to the next level in the entertainment industry. He agreed to accept her as his daughter too. However, in my opinion, this is not that suitable. I would like to talk to you privately on this topic. Ms. Poland, do you need Mr. Floyd to recognize Azalea as his daughter now? Are there any other alternatives?”
Rammos paused for a moment. “You know that Fandrey and Deborah are now living in mainland. It’s easy to find out the relationship between you and Azalea. If Mr. Floyd recognized Azalea as his sworn daughter, the elders will inquire about it. I’m afraid that they will create trouble for you and cause inconvenience to your life after they know the relationship between Azalea and you.”
“I see!” This was the same as what Emily worried about. Everyone knew her relationship with Azalea. If Deborah knew about this matter, she would definitely come to her for trouble.
Therefore, she had to reconsider the matter of recognising Azalea as Mr. Floyd’s sworn daughter.
Rammos saw that Emily hesitated. He continued to say, “Mr. Floyd has never refused your requirements, and he always agreed to all your requests. However, I don’t think it’s appropriate for this time, so I’m privately looking for you to talk about this matter. Can you change to other alternatives? We can support Azalea, give her a lot of resources and make her popular all over the world, but you have to think about it carefully. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t change your mind. Anyway, Mr. Floyd will never refuse your request.”
Emily was silent for a while. “You are right. I’m too naive! This matter can’t be so imprudent. Ignore my request on recognising her as a sworn daughter, but please give a lot of support to Azalea’s career, Mr. Smith!”
Seeing Emily withdraw her thoughts, Rammos breathed a sigh of relief. “Then do as we planned. I will tell Mr. Floyd about this.”
After dealing with Emily, Rammos was relieved and returned happily. He hummed a tune and drove back to the hotel. When he got out of the car and entered the elevator, his assistant called him. “Mr. Smith, our cooperation with Hattelo Group has been cancelled!”
Rammos thought that he heard wrongly. “When did it happen?”
“Just now, Richard’s assistant called us and said that our proposal on the project is not sincere, so there is no need to continue the cooperation.”
“How is this possible?” Rammos asked subconsciously, “Richard read the proposal before, and there is no objection from him. Why did he change his mind all of a sudden?”
The assistant will never know the reason. “I don’t know. I feel that things are very abrupt as well. Mr. Smith, what should we do now?”
“I’m already back. Let’s talk about it when when we meet!”
Rammos’s good mood soon disappeared without a trace. The elevator stopped. Rammos quickly got out of the elevator and went straight to his room.
The assistant was relieved seeing Rammos come back. “Mr. Smith, what should we do now? Would you like to ask Richard through a call?”
“That’s the only way.” Rammos sat down and asked the assistant carefully about the details. He could not find out the reason, so he could only call Richard and ask.
Rammos couldn’t get through the phone, and he became inexplicably anxious. “Is Richard not picking up my call? So there is no chance for changes in this matter? It shouldn’t be like this?”
The assistant didn’t know what to do either. He was just an assistant. Rammos would make decisions in all important events. If Rammos had no way, he won’t have any clues too.
He and Rammos stared at each other for a while. The assistant’s phone rang. He glanced at the phone display and told Rammos, “It’s from Lamont.”
Rammos was annoyed by Richard’s refusal to answer the phone. He said impatiently, “Just pick it up. Why are you telling me?”
The assistant answered and said respectfully, “Hello, President Saunders!”
Lamont was the vice president of Archer, who was in charge of many important things. He did not talk nonsense with Rammos’s assistant and said, “I called you because I could not get through Rammos, that’s why I call you. I just saw the bid made by your company. What are they? That is too insincere. The bid is two points higher than normal. What do you mean? Do you think the Saunders family is a fool?”
“We don’t mean it, Mr. Saunders. Recently, the number of raw materials has risen, so we…”
“This is not the reason. It’s because you don’t want to do business, right? I think you’ve been too conceited recently. Do you think you can do anything with Callum’s support? Let me tell you, here is B City, not New York. Even in New York, we don’t pay for this trick! Without sincere cooperation, there is no need to continue. Let’s end this matter here!” Lamont hung up after he finished speaking.
Rammos’s assistant was confused. “This… Mr. Saunders, Mr. Saunders, please listen to me, no…”
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and the assistant’s forehead was sweating. What day was it today? How could there be so many things that happened out of expectation?
The assistant looked at Rammos with a helpless face. “Mr. Smith, what’s going on? Everything was fine yesterday. Why did this happen all of a sudden?”
