Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 1561: Adding Insult to Injury
Back at the company, Bauer handed the contract directly to Eliazar.
Eliazar couldn't help a sigh of relief and, after scanning the contract, immediately called Mark to inform him.
"Prince, Chris has signed it."
"Very good."
Marcos felt no emotion, but said, "Eliazar, you've done a great job."
Eliazar said, "It was my job."
"The next thing is for you to take it easy on Chris's company, after all, we at the Leoz Group are now his shareholders, we can't afford to do business at a loss." "Prince, I understand."
"Inform me immediately if there is anything."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Marcos' lips curved into a cold smile, the drama ahead was going to get more and more exciting.
With this injection of funds, Chris's company's situation gradually stabilized.
Chris exhaled a long sigh of relief, his heart finally in place.
"Now that the company is stable, can we go back to J-town?" asked Linda timidly.
During this period of time, she had seen how busy Chris was, and hadn't mentioned going back to J-City for fear it would affect his mood.
But now that things were settled, she wanted to hurry back.
Chris reached out and clasped her hand in his arms, "These past few days have been hard on you. I've asked my assistant to book a flight for tonight."
At that, he slowly narrowed his eyes, "It's time to go back and take care of the branch."
Linda smiled at this, "Good."
The next day, the couple arrived in J-Town. Chris didn't linger a moment and went straight to the office for a senior management meeting.
"What's the situation in the company now, which one of you will tell me?" Chris's stern look swept over everyone present.
"Most of the staff has been pacified, but there are still some who are making noise about resigning."
"Lack of funds has caused all previous projects to come to a standstill, and the partners are asking the company to compensate them for the losses incurred during this period."
...
As I listened to them report one by one on the situation during this period, Chris's face grew darker.
The situation at the branch was much more serious than he had imagined.
But, fortunately, the foreign headquarters stabilized and he was able to fix the mess without worry.
Rawlins heard he was back and immediately came to his door with wine.
"Congratulations, you've finally made it through this crisis." Rawlins was all smiles, apparently as always.
But Chris's attitude was noticeably colder: "Yes, the crisis is over, but hearts are cold."
Rawlins hadn't expected him to be so blunt, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
The two men stared at each other, saying nothing.
It was a long time before Rawlins laughed again, "Chris, you have to understand my difficulties, and I'd love to help you, but I also have to be considerate of The Chavez family." "Let's not bring up the past." Chris lowered his head and pouted the corners of his lips.
Rawlins' eyes twinkled slightly, "Fine. I brought the wine specifically to congratulate you on getting through this."
At that, Chris looked at the wine he had brought and raised an eyebrow, "It sure is good wine, thanks."
"We're friends, why be so polite?" Rawlins smiled and moved to open the wine.
"Wait." Chris stopped him, "I can't afford to drink wine that good. You should take it home, I have some meetings to attend and I don't have time for you."
Rawlins was stunned, reacted quickly and smiled, "Okay, then we'll meet again some other time."
"Fine, I won't fire you."
Rawlins smiled, said nothing and left with his wine.
As he left Chris's company, Rawlins had a grim expression on his face and a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He was no fool and could clearly sense Chris's aloofness and indifference.
This was fine, since he couldn't be an ally, there was no point in giving Chris a piece of the market.
As soon as he returned to the company, he ordered all the market share he had given Chris to be taken away.
Chris already had a lot of problems to solve, and this added to his problems, and the losses were especially devastating.
Now that the Bartram Group was in power, Chris could no longer compete with Rawlins and had to swallow his anger. Leoz Group.
"Prince, it's only been a month of back and forth and the Rawlins alliance is split, now he and Chris will never work together again." Alfredo told Marcos, who was not at all surprised.
Alfredo finished his report and said admiringly, "Prince, you are truly extraordinary, you have turned them against each other with ease." Marcos' voice was light: "It's not that I'm good, it's just that they don't trust each other very much, they all have their personal agenda". To be more precise, they were both ambitious people who did not want to subordinate themselves to each other.
As soon as one of them got into trouble, the other would undoubtedly want to take the opportunity to reap the rewards.
He had simply seized this point.
"In any case, you're still the same thunderous Mr. Alvaro you were, you haven't changed a bit."
Alfredo couldn't remember how many times he had uttered such an exclamation since Marcos had regained his memory.
"By the way, tonight you have to go to dinner with the president of the bank." Alfredo suddenly thought of the evening's itinerary.
Marcos frowned and said quietly, "Leave it. I'm going home tonight to be with Paulina."
All this time, he had been too busy with Chris and the Rawlins to spend time with her and the baby.
But Paulina was understanding and had never complained, instead telling him to work hard and not worry about home.
All the more reason for her to feel guilty.
Now that she had achieved her goal, it was time to make time for her.
Alfredo smiled, "Okay, I'll go make another appointment with the president."
After all, Marcos left the office at the right time.
When the secretaries saw that he had finished working on time, they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
How could the president leave work so early today?
"No need to work late tonight, let's all go home."
Perhaps because he was going home to keep Paulina company, Marcos was in a good mood.
The secretaries cheered as soon as they heard him.
Marcos stepped into the elevator, watched the numbers go down, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile. Tonight would be a good night to spend with Paulina.
