Lindsey frowned, her expression growing more troubled.
Juliet worried she had upset her boss with her words and quickly tried to make amends.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
“I’m sorry, Lindsey… I didn’t mean to say that.
”
Lindsey regarded Juliet for a moment, her expression softening, a faint smile ying at the corners of her mouth.
“It’s okay.
Thanks for being upfront with me.
Don’t stress.
Thepany won’t go under.
I’ll take care of it.
Just focus on your tasks.
”
Juliet felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Indeed, Lindsey had that kind of influence.
With Lindsey in charge, she seemed to navigate any challenge with ease.
“I will, Lindsey!” Juliet nodded, reassured.
Once Lindsey was back in her office, she reached out to Nancy.
Nancy had just arrived at the office and immediately answered her phone.
But she was caught off guard by Lindsey’s unusually somber tone.
“Nancy,e to my office.
”
Nancy’s hand stiffened around the phone.
ncing up, she noticed the closed door to Lindsey’s office.
Was Lindsey already here?
Looking over at Juliet, Nancy pieced things together.
Juliet was not one to keep secrets, and she likely had shared recent events with
Lindsey.
With a nervous gulp, Nancy steeled herself and walked in.
Upon entering, she found Lindsey behind her desk, deep in thought, her brow furrowed in concentration.
Nancy couldn’t keep any secrets buried anymore.
She dashed forward, yelling out, “Linds, I owe you an apology for keeping thepany’s matters under wraps.
But I did it for your sake, to ensure you got some proper rest.
You’re a real workhorse, you know.
Knowing about all these partners wanting to scrap the deals would’ve surely sent you into a tailspin, even in your sickbed.
I was afraid it’d be too much for you to bear, so I…”

“I get it.
”
Lindsey’s response, oddlyposed, caught Nancy off guard for a moment
.
Lindsey lifted her head.
Her pallid face and lifeless eyes spoke volumes.
There was no trace of reproach in her voice.
Instead, she was rather serene.
“Round up all the previous contracts.
If they’re keen on scrapping, we’ll put up a fight.
” Lindsey rose from her chair and stood at eye level with Nancy.
But at that moment, Nancy felt like Lindsey towered over her.
She gazed at Lindsey wide-eyed.
“Linds, you mean…”
“Ourpany might be fresh off the block, but that doesn’t mean we roll over.
ording to the contract terms, if they want out and it’s not our fault, they cough up an extra termination fee, no less than what they signed on for.
”
“I’ve mentioned that,” Nancy said.
“But their excuses run the gamut.
Some im our artists aren’t up to snuff, others say there’s too much negativity swirling, and there are even whispers about your conduct.
They have aundry list of reasons.
”
At Nancy’s words, Lindsey’s lips curled, a hint of a sneer forming.
“Fine! Add defamation to the list.
”
Then she met Nancy’s gaze and dered, “Let them know.
They should expect a letter from our legal team.
