The Collins Group and the Brown Group
The crowd fell silent again.
Everyone looked at Claude, waiting for his answer, but he was in a dilemma.
Claude didn‘t want Gloria to take charge of the project, and he didn‘t want her to work with Jordy either.
In this case, should he work with the Brown Group? But what about the Collins Group?
Claude opened his mouth to speak, but for a moment he paused.
Ted smiled, “We have to ask Gloria about this.”
Howard immediately retorted; “We must look at the bigger picture. Gloria is one of us and she should
do her job. Why listen to her?”
Ted said in disapproval, “You don‘t know how important she is. If she doesn‘t want to do this job, are
you sure you can come up with a perfect solution?”
The meeting ended on a bad note.
Claude couldn‘t just give orders. He had to talk to his followers privately.
Just after the meeting, Ted called Gloria.
Gloria was resting at home, but she couldn‘t sleep thinking of what had happened to Bryson. She heard
her phone buzz and picked it up.
“Ted?”
“Gloria, you‘ve got the news, right? Mr. Collins sent his assistant over today. He wants to work with
you.”
Gloria froze for a moment.He‘s pretty quick. I‘ve been taking care of Bryson and don‘t know what
Harold‘s been up
“Ted, what do you mean…?”
Ted smiled, “I‘d like to see what you think. Who do you want to work with?”
Gloria said with a faint smile, “Of course I‘d like to work with the Brown Group if I could.”
“Hahaha, that‘s what I was thinking. But Mr. White is in a bind. He thought he could send someone else
there to work with Jordy, but he didn‘t think Jordy wanted you.”
Gloria sneered and then whispered, “What did he say today?”
Technically, Gloria would have more contact with Jordy if she worked with him. Of course, Angela and
Claude would not like to see that happen.
Her cooperation with Jonathan seemed a sure thing.
“He hasn‘t decided yet. He may want to replace you.”
Gloria didn‘t say anything.
Ted asked, “Do you have a minute? Come to my office. I have an important mission for you.”
Gloria‘s eyes flashed. “Sorry, Ted. My friend was in a car accident, and I just took three days off.”
“Oh, I see. It‘s not something urgent anyway. Come and see me when you‘re done,” Ted said casually
“Okay.”
Their conversation ended. Gloria put the phone down and closed her eyes.
She had to take a rest, though it was hard to sleep.
Gloria‘s absence didn‘t cause uproar in the White Group.
The president of the Collins Group and the president of the Brown Group both knew that Gloria took
days off because of her childhood sweetheart.
Gloria even stayed up all night for him.
Both Jordy and Jonathan seemed to be in a bad mood today.
..
The mood in the Collins Group was subdued, and everyone hardly dared to breathe.
And the Brown Group…
Everything was going along well except for the meeting. People all thought Mr. Brown was very strict.
He didn‘t approve any plans. All were going to be revised. They felt bad, but as his employees, they
had to work overtime for revision.
With his eyes closed, Jonathan looked as though he was isolated from the chaotic world.
But…
The phone rang.
