My Love, Enlighten me

Loren Taylor was silent after listening to Gloria Taylor’s suggestion.

After a while, he shook his head, “No.”

When Grandpa Taylor decided to move abroad, he said that if there was no problem, he would spend the rest of his life abroad.

“Dad, we’re in a bad situation right now. You know better than I do that a brand image is important in this industry. Everything happened during this period of time has been a big blow to our company—”

Before she could finished, Loren Taylor interrupted her, “How’s your relationship with Kenny Clarke?”

“I don’t know about Gloria’s relationship with Kenny Clarke, but she surely gets along well with Leon Clarke. Today, they had lunch together and he kissed her in public.”

Anne Taylor turned to Gloria Taylor with a smiling face, “Am I right?”

Gloria Taylor didn’t even bat an eye on Anne Taylor. She looked at her father and said, “Well, our relationship is fine. That’s all.”

She didn’t know why she lied.

Loren Taylor frowned, “Gloria, Kenny Clarke is your husband. How could you—”

Gloria Taylor knew he mentioned Kenny Clarke, but she was tired with his nagging.

She interrupted him, “Do you want Kenny to help you like last time? There is no way for that. If our company continues like this, people will take over our company. I might as well sell my shares if it still worth money.”

Loren Taylor’s face got ugly, “Gloria, you’re crazy!”

“I’m afraid that I’m not the only one who wants to sell the shares. I’m afraid other shareholders have the same idea as I do. It’s better to find a generous buyer than to keep the Taylor Company’s share rot in my hand.”

Gloria Taylor’s words were so harsh that it pierced him right in the heart.

Loren Taylor was so furious. He raised his fingers to Gloria Taylor and snapped, “How dare you!”

“Why not? The shares of my possession is legal. I can sell and buy it as I wish.”
