Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV: 

"Charles, I need to go back as soon as possible.I’m really sorry."

I looked into his eyes with tears in mine.

"It’s fine.We’ll have other chances to go on vacation together in the future."

Charles cupped my cheek and gently caressed it to comfort me.

Just then, my phone rang.It was Victoria, the public relations manager.

"Miss Wilson, something has happened in the company.There’s a group of people causing trouble at the west coast construction site this morning.Our sécurity guards were unable to stop them!" Victoria said anxiously.

I tightened my grip on the phone.

A growing sense of uneasiness washed over me.

"How could that happen? Have you found out who’s behind it?"

Naturally, a large-scale, organized riot like this one was premeditated.

"Just like we’ve agreed upon, we’ll pay fifty percent of the cost of construction this month, and the balance will be paid before the first quarter of next year.However, the contractor changed their mind all of a sudden.They instigated the workers to come to the site to demand their salary, and they even made a scene in the city hall."

Victoria paused for a moment before she continued, "Miss Wilson, the government has issued an order to our company that we should pay for all our debts.If the situation gets any worse, it could spiral out of our control.Unfortunately, we don’t have any extra funds in our account to pay these debts."

"I see."

I maintained my composure and didn’t allow anyone to notice my inhibition.

"If there’s no better way, inform all the departments to suspend payment for this month’s bills.Figure out a way to delay payment until next month.And as for these rallyists, let’s go talk to them."

"Miss Wilson, I’m certain that Adam is behind this.Those who took the lead during the rally are from the engineering team.I’m afraid it’s useless to reason with them," replied Victoria.

I leaned against the backseat of the car, feeling powerless and weary, ‘Adam is already a drowning dog, fleeing to wherever he can.

How in the world did he manage to make the Wilson Group suffer in such a short amount of time? It seems that I’ve underestimated him again"

During the end of every year, funds would always be extremely tight.

The Wilson Group had a lot of debts and liabilities to pay.

Our company was like a ship, sailing across the turbulent seas.

And now, the ship’s hull had been breached and water was slowly pouring in.

If I were to fail in patching up the breach as soon as possible, the Wilson Group would be as good as doomed.

We didn’t have any extra funds to pay for our debts, and we also had to pay off a loan next month.

If we failed to pay for that loan on time, the bank would probably stop loaning us any money.

And if such a thing were to occur, the Wilson Group would go bankrupt.

Once I’d been forced into that desperate situation, Adam could easily take over the company.

Needless to say, it was a well-thought-out plan! "What’s your opinion on this, Victoria?"

"These people are hooligans.Using civilized means to deal with them will be useless.I think we’ll have to use force to subdue them," she replied.

"I’m sorry, but that’s not a good solution.If things take a turn for the worse, all of the work we’ve done will ha in vain," I countered.

"But…"
