Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 368

Kyle Jenkins entered Edward Landor’s office and placed the documents on has boss’s desk before starting on his daily report. “The response to the goods that arrived yesterday was good. Many customers signed long-term partnerships with our company after that Most of them are renovation companies, there are also construction companies.”

Edward’s furniture store spanned tens of thousands of square feet with just one brand and carried mid to high-end items. He wanted to conquer the Athana market by offering products for all price ranges to satisfy customer requirements at all levels.

The Wilson family and the Roberts family had never dabbled in this trade. Therefore, Edward had a head start in the business

Edward glanced at the report Kyle handed to him. He casually pushed his glasses up with his index finger and flipped through it. “We must watch the goods closely for the next few days. It’s only the beginning, and we can’t make any mistakes at this juncture. Otherwise, both our sales and reputation will immediately be affected. It will be difficult to rebuild our reputation again.

Kyle thought Edward wanted him to go to the pier every day. He immediately replied. “Tll keep an eye on the goods and take a look later. A batch of goods is arriving at noon and another in the afternoon today.”

Edward nodded and placed the documents on the table. “You can stay in the office. I’ll go take a look.”

Kyle was puzzled, but he soon understood what Edward meant. “All right, boss.”

It was almost six in the afternoon at the pier.

A lot more people joined the dance exercise today. Almost 25 people turned up, nearly doubling the number yesterday. Rose Roberts led the dance exercise as usual.

She swayed her slender waist while waving her hands in the air like water snakes and dancing to the beat of the music. The crowd was excited, they shouted the dance sequence while swaying to the rhythm. The atmosphere was energetic and lively.

Rose moved vigorously as the leader in the dance exercise.

Edward’s car glided to the side of the open space. He could see the activities outside, including every detail, when he rolled down the window. He parked his car in an empty lot soon after,

Edward exited the car, took a cigarette, and held it between his hips. It was already past six in the afternoon, and the goods had arrived. Unlike his usual efficient self. Edward stood by the side of the car and smoked calmly.

He looked emotionless under his glasses, and a thin mist of smoke lingered around his well-defined face.

At this moment, Frank Roberts came out of his office to watch the dance exercise and saw how Edward fixed his gaze on his sister. His glare was like a sharp knife darting at Edward. When he saw Rose dancing away without a care, Frank had the sudden urge to drag his sister back into his office.

That was indeed what Frank did the next moment. However, before he could say anything. Edward nodded politely at him and walked to the loading area.

Frank held his tongue and did not say anything. He suddenly thought of Ava Turner, who did not reply to his message for a day. It had been 24 hours. Frank initially thought she was busy at work. However, the longer the time gap, the more he felt something was amiss.

“Rose, come here, Frank shouted at his sister.

The lackeys stopped when they heard Frank calling out, thinking their boss disapproved of their activity. Then, they heard Frank’s voice again. “The rest of you continue.”

The lackeys were puzzled and took it as permission from Frank. They wondered if he felt they needed training to do their jobs better,

Rose panted and asked, “What? Are you going to compliment me?”

Frank did not beat around the bush. “Did you contact Baby Ava today?”

Frank, who had never felt uneasy in life or unnerving in fights, looked flustered at this moment. He did not believe he could feel this way
