Regret Came Too Late

The project coordinator took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Grace has sold hundreds of thousands of pounds of apples in Northbrook. The CEO of Henderson Group has also set his sights on several places in Northbrook and decided to develop tourism there.

"Ms. Alice, we initially had two spots in Southbrook that were shortlisted, but you've spoiled the farmers with the million dollars you offered them. They thought Henderson Group was unimaginably rich, so they demanded ten million dollars for the two spots.

"Henderson Group rejected it, and now, the two spots in Southbrook have been excluded from the development zone."

Alice could tell that the project coordinator was blaming her, but she didn't get angry. She just pretended to lean weakly against the side. "I'm sorry. I originally thought of using that sum of money to reduce everyone's losses, not cause them to breach their agreement with Grace. I never thought this would fuel their greed."

She sounded very innocent, but upon careful recollection, she had indeed never explicitly instructed those people to break their contract with Grace when she offered them a million dollars.

She was simply skilled at linguistic manipulation and would never say anything that could be detrimental to herself. This way, she could easily disengage herself from the problems.

The project coordinator was at a loss for words. Now, there were problems with the apples from Southbrook while the apples from Northbrook were getting better.

Moreover, the CEO had taken an interest in Northbrook. It was hard for Southbrook to go and beg them to return, especially when the farmers wouldn't budge without being offered ten million dollars.

"Ms. Lambert, please go back. The farmers have become even more agitated ever since you came. Our small place can't accommodate such a big shot like you."

This remark was quite blunt. Alice's expression changed several times, but she still didn't lose her cool. She just smiled apologetically.
