Chapter 349

him that we’re signing the deal with someone else?”Confused, Yulia asked.Naomi was about to say something when an angry voice barked from outside the door.“Are you telling me this hollow shell of a company is screwing with us, Silverton Corporation?“Oh, the nerve!”With that, a balding man in his forties barged into the room.It was Miles.A young man of a towering build followed right behind him. The extra-large suit was not quite a good fit for the man as it was bursting at the seams.He appeared to be Miles’ personal bodyguard.Turning her gaze to Miles, Naomi was about to stop him when Miles put his hands out and shoved her out of the way.He then swaggered his way to the sofa in the reception area to sit down.Pursing her lips, Yulia tried to keep her cool and asked, “Mr. Silverton, what are you trying to do? Not only had you barged into my office, but you were also rude to my employee.”“What do I want?”Miles let out a cold scoff. “Yulia Sue, I should be asking you the same question.”“This morning, Kareem Fashion made a public announcement, seeking for partnership.“I backed out on two projects that were about to launch and crossed two of my oldest clients so I could pool together sufficient funds for your anti-blemish cream project.“What did I get in the end?
