No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 572

I believe you know when to yield and when not.”Norman was tongue-tied. These people are driving me to the corner!Jessie uttered calmly, “The meetup this time is extremely important. It might be hard for you to lay down your dignity and apologize to them, so I’ll accompany you to Wickam Group to negotiate with them.”From the surface, it seemed as if Jessie was looking out for Norman, but in fact, she intended to supervise him lest the negotiation was ruined again due to his ego.Surprisingly, the shareholders unanimously agreed to Jessie’s suggestion. Jessie was a core member of James’ allies, so her words carried weight.On the other hand, Norman’s allies were worried that Norman would back out, so it was desirable to have someone as sharp-tongued as Jessie to keep an eye on him.Norman asked with a darkened face, “Any objections?”There was no response. Everyone acquiesced to the proposal.Norman’s resentment was accentuated, but he still spoke up coldly, “Alright then. Miss Green and I will head over to Wickam Group three days later.”“Three days later?” Jessie scoffed. “Mr. Chairman, do you think we can afford to drag on another three days, given the current situation?”Norman was dumbfounded. He needed some time to be mentally prepared and observe the situation. If they were to go today directly, he would be utterly ashamed!James nodded in agreement. “Yeah, three days later is too late.

However, all this while, he had been portraying himself to be less capable than Elisa’s father. In the past, he would even deprecate himself to gain popularity. But now, he couldn’t refute it in any way due to his ego.Norman inhaled deeply as he knew he couldn’t possibly defend himself in this situation. Everyone stared at him and waited for his response.With his face reddened, he uttered solemnly, “Go ahead and make the necessary arrangements, Miss Green.”“Sure.” Jessie nodded in satisfaction.Eventually, Norman had to give an explanation regarding the incident this time. However, due to his high self-esteem, he couldn’t possibly give an explanation for all that had happened now. So, he could only provide a statement after a period of cooling down. Meanwhile, everyone was focused on resolving the plight and didn’t bother to continue criticizing him.…Elisa was resting in her room when her phone rang all of a sudden.“Hi, Mr. Markee.” She picked up the call.James smiled gently and replied, “Hey Elisa, how are you feeling?”“I’m fine. Please don’t worry about me.” Elisa answered in a soft voice.James hummed in response and asked,
