Something I Need You to Do
Yvonne grinned. Her eyes were taunting Claude‘s pointless struggle.
No one argued with Claude again, and the meeting was dismissed.
Gloria didn‘t move until the others went out.
Angela came up and grabbed her arm. “There is something I want to ask you.”
Gloria turned around, scanned the conference room equipped with cameras, and smiled. “You want to
do it here?”
Angela gritted her teeth and said without loosening her grip, “Come with me.”
Gloria pulled out her arm and snorted in a voice only audible to the two of them, “Cousin, I have a lot of
work to do. Two of the five clients you gave me haven‘t struck a deal with me yet. Since you‘re
suspended, I don‘t think you can give me instructions anymore. We can talk after my shift is over.”
Without another look at the furious woman, Gloria headed toward her office.
Angela was pissed off.
Bitch! I own this company, remember?
She gnashed her teeth. Everyone was laughing at her today. Ashamed of her suspension, she was
unwilling to stay in the office for another second.
Words would spread. That vindictive woman would let everyone know that she overruled the case.
If things went on like this, Gloria‘s dream of working with the Brown Group would come true.
Anger got the better of Angela. After getting into the car, she gave her father a call.
“Angela?” Claude was back in his office.
Angela‘s brows were locked in a frown as she asked, “Is this a convenient time for you to talk?”
“I know what you‘re going to say, but we have to keep the partnership.”
Angela sulked, “What do you mean by that?”
Claude didn‘t give a direct answer.
Angela forced the words out of her gritted teeth. “Don‘t tell me that there is no solution. Are you going
to just let Gloria work with Jonathan? Given the capability of that man, he will make the case a big win.
Are you aware of the consequences?”
“Gloria will climb up the corporate ladder! She will have a sày and even get a promotion! Dad, our job is
to kick her out of the company, and you‘re helping her rise! Even if you want benefits, you should make
sure that she poses no threat to us!”
Claude gave a helpless laugh. “Now you‘re like a burnt child dreading the fire.”
“Argh.”
“It’s okay, sweetheart, don‘t worry about it. Gloria‘s shares are in my hands, and she has nothing. Even
if she rose to the top, without any shares, she could not become a decision–maker. What are you afraid
of?”
Angela chewed over his words and no longer dreaded Gloria that much. However, the uneasy feeling
lingered.
“Gloria‘s biting was unavailable. If this kind of thing happens again, remember to tell me beforehand
instead of keeping it to yourself. You‘re still callow, alright?”
Angela gritted her teeth. “I didn‘t expect Gloria to play such a dirty trick. You should pay attention to
those who are always against you. I can see that they‘re supporting Gloria. It will affect us.”
“I know.” Claude was livid and planned to hang up the phone when something occurred to him. He then
said in a serious tone, “By the way, there is something I need you to do.”
