章 27: BOD of Acacia
Terror began to grip Mr. Smith's entire body.
He felt as if a snake coiled around his body and was trying to suffocate him.
Mr. Smith: [Mr. Ross, revenge against me]
He just felt his entire brain going blank.
Mr. Smith: "James, why is Mr. Ross taking revenge on me."
Smith asked James in a trembling voice.
James could feel the fear in Smith's voice even across the phone.
James: "Mr. Smith, it has something to do with the time he spent at Acacia."
[I don't know what would be his reaction when he finds out that his son is the reason why he offended Mr. Ross]
"While Mr. Ross was working at Acacia, he was suppressed by an employee at Acacia."
"He lost many opportunities because of that employee's suppression."
Mr. Smith: "Who is that employee?"
"Is he still an employee of Acacia."
James: "Yes, Mr. Smith, he is still an employee at Acacia."
"Also, I do not have that ability to remove him."
Mr. Smith: "Huh. You cannot remove him..."
The tone of Mr. Smith kept on changing.
He seemed to have begun to lose his voice.
James: [It seems he has begun to realize who it is]
Mr. Smith: "James, the one who suppressed Mr. Ross."
"It can't be my son, right."
Smith waited for James to tell him that it was not his son who offended Mr. Ross.
However, not everything goes as we hope it to.
James: "Mr. Smith, although I did want to say this, your son suppressed Mr. Ross."
"Mr. Smith"
"Mr. Smith"
"Mr. Smith, can you hear me"
[It seems that he cannot hear me]
[Or he might have dropped the phone]
[Anyways, I think I should hang up]
"Mr. Smith, I should hang up now."
"I need to submit a report of this meeting to the company and the Board."
"I cannot waste any time now."
Speaking up to this, James immediately hangs up.
Mr. Smith: "Waitt…"
James: [Thank God I was fast enough. If I waited for another moment, he would have definitely dragged me into it]
[Sorry, but I cannot afford to lose my position because of you]
After making a few sarcastic comments about Mr. Smith, James began to work on the report.
Although he used it as an excuse to get away from Smith however it was something that he actually needed to do.
...…
Soon after Mr. Smith got the news of Mr. Ross's upcoming revenge from James, he fell into a panic.
It was only after his secretary saw him in a panic that she woke him up.
Secretary: "Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith, please wake up."
She shook Mr. Smith a few times before he snapped out.
Mr. Smith looked at the face of his secretary and realized that she was calling him.
Secretary: "Mr. Smith, please have a glass of water."
She gave him a glass of water and then stood aside.
She understood her position.
She knew that whatever the reason that he fell into a panic, she was unworthy of learning about it.
Instead, if she tried to know it, regardless of the consequences.
She might find out some things that she was never meant to know.
It is said that 'Sometimes the less you know, the safer you are.'
...…
At the same time, as Mr. Smith overcame his panic, James's report about the meeting reached the desk of every board member, including Mr. Smith.
At the same time, because of some small moves by James, the news of the suppression of Mr. Ross by Mr. Smith's son went viral.
It was so popular that even the secretaries of various board members found out about it.
Subsequently, it was brought o the attention of the Board members themselves.
They contacted him to find out its authenticity and its impact.
After all, with their means, they can find specific details in a short amount of time, and contacting me to find out the authenticity can only mean that they verified the news.
Now they want to know what Mr. Ross's attitude toward Acacia is.
They needed to be sure.
Although the meeting between James and Mr. Ross was successful.
But it does not mean that Mr. Ross is against Acacia.
They have seen many ways in which an extremely successful deal signed by a company becomes the reason for its downfall.
Although some people might argue that it happened because the other signing party was malicious and used the big deal to dig a pit for the other company.
But who can tell if Mr. Ross is sincere in signing the business deal or is he malicious and wants to destroy them?
After signing this contract, they knew that if Mr. Ross decided, then destroying Acacia was not hard.
All he needs to do is have someone delay our liquid cash flow and Acacia, which will be unable to complete the contract and go bankrupt.
