Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 15

“By the way, Uncle James, you guys can’t take this table!” Charlie said suddenly.

“Why not?” James asked.

“This table is reserved for the employees of our company who perform well. If you guys take this table, they won’t have a place to sit then!”

“W-Well… We will take that table at the front then…” James said.

“You guys better don’t get too close to Grandpa, in case he gets angry when he sees all of you.”

James asked anxiously, “Where should we sit then?”

“Over there!” Charlie pointed at a table situated near the exit which looked extremely shabby. It was specially reserved for the hotel staff.

James and his family were dumbfounded when they heard Charlie. After all, they were still the immediate family members of the Cunninghams but now, they were asked to sit at the same table with the workers of the hotel. Were they actually less important than even the employees of the company?

“W-What have we actually done wrong to suffer something like this…” Helen couldn’t help but cover her face and started sobbing.

At that juncture, Eric Cunningham was heading their way. “James, you guys are here,” Eric greeted them in a cold tone.

“Dad!” James and Helen immediately rose to their feet and greeted Eric in an apprehensive tone that came with a slight trace of excitement.

Eric had been giving them a cold shoulder over the years and this was his first time taking the initiative to talk to them. Nodding at them, Eric said, “Since you all are here, do come over and take a seat. I have something to discuss with y’all!”

James and Helen glanced at each other with excitement written all over their faces. Was Old Master Cunningham finally going to assign some important tasks to them? They followed Eric to the main table where several other guests were sitting. One of them was a fat man with a huge belly who constantly wore a lascivious expression. His eyes were brimming with lewdness when he caught sight of Sasha.

Sasha looked shaken to see the man. Her pace came to a halt and she nearly wanted to walk away from the table immediately. Eric walked toward the chubby man and took a seat next to him before he said with a smile, “James, let me introduce Mr. Clayton Sampson from Carlson Group; he’s the person-in-charge of the purchasing department of the company.”

The eyes of James and Helen lit up with hope immediately at the mention of Carlson Group, which was a large corporation in the healthcare industry in Eastcliff. It was also a major business partner of the company owned by the Cunninghams. In other words, the Cunninghams had the fate of their venture held in the hands of Clayton.

“Mr. Sampson, it’s my honor to meet you!” James greeted him with a bow.

“Likewise!” While Clayton was taking a puff off a cigar with an arrogant demeanor, his eyes were glued on Sasha.

“The progress of the project we’re having with Carlson Group this time hasn’t been satisfactory.” In a slightly frigid voice, Eric continued, “Sasha has been the one in charge of the plan which is worth over 50 million. According to Mr. Sampson, Sasha hasn’t been taking the program very seriously. What’s wrong with it?”

James immediately turned to look at Sasha, who held her head low and kept mum with her face red while she gritted her teeth. “What’s going on?” James confronted his daughter in a hushed tone.

“H-He asked me to go on a holiday trip with him…” Sasha muttered.

An icy glint shone in Matthew’s eyes immediately. This Mr. Sampson clearly deserves some punishment!
