NovelOnlineChapter 0246 I was tired, but I couldn't fall asleep even as tears streamed down my cheeks from exhaustion.
Early the next morning, I brought a small suitcase withand moved into Yasmine's home.
She comforted me, saying that I was just going through a rough patch and that things would slowly get better.
In truth, another reason I had moved in with Yasmine was because I wanted to avoid Pete. What happened yesterday was just awkward, and I hadn't figured out how I was supposed to face him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was scared he would cback to findafter being sent home, so I decided to leave. Yasmine didn't have a boyfriend, so it's not like I would be interrupting or disturbing her.
In fact, Yasmine was thrilled to see me. She said that she could not let my emotions continue to consme. But, in reality, she just wanted free labor, so she started makingdo swork. Yasmine had to source most of the cases within the law firm herself.
Because she had to run an entire law firm herself, she began bringingto a lot of gatherings with professionals, hoping we would be able to leave an impression on them.
Silas had managed the law firm well and had built a professional team. But after everything went down, the company had taken a hit! Additionally, connections in the industry were crucial. So, Yasmine began to struggle.
I was willing to help her, and I had to help her. I wanted to see Jay Caldwell & Co. return to its original glory. But things never really proceeded as planned.
While we were on our way to a private event, Yasmine's expression was slightly sullen. She looked like she had just eaten a piece of shit.
"The legal consultation collaboration we agreed upon with a certain social media platform two days ago has fallen through." Well then. That piece of news was ever shittier than I had expected it to be Yasmine's hands were clenched tightly into fists as her eyes turned red.
"Nicholas is crossing the line! Did he really think it was easy for us to get that collaboration? "Does he not know how much of a diva that director was? He kept insisting that you were prettier than him and kept looking down on you! He even gave you a hard tduring dinner! "You've always carried yourself with dignity and had never given into him before: However, you had to bend to that bastard's will and drink with him during that dinner! "To make that stupid diva happy, you even had to make a fool out of yourself and purposely fall to dirty your face.
"We finally got him to agree to collaborate with us, but Nicholas has fucked it all up with a few words. I'm so pissed." I blinked and tried to think of another way.
"Why don't I find tto ask him to reconsider after our dinner tonight? There's a possibility that this isn't Nicholas' doing, and they might be willing to reconsider." "Reconsider my ass!" Yasmine could read the situation clearly. "This isn't the first tsuch a thing has happened. The first time, halready sabotaged our first ve negotiation with a lifestyle service platform.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The second time, he contacted the person in charge of one of the social media platforms I had been talking with and made them reject us. The third time..." Yasmine was furious, and her voice continued to rise after each sentence.
In the end, she decided to stop and said, "We've been attending numerous meetings and gatherings for the past month, but have we scored a single. contract or collaboration? them pewne anon oe twice than 1 mot be able to brush it off as a cederver fut there has tappened repeatedly (her than Nicholys, who could posedy have mach a bag nece over the market? E was depressing to go from being confident and hopeful to being rejected m sorry keep causing trouble for the company Yasmine rolled her eyes at me.
"Don't say such things to me. I don't even know where I'd be working if it weren't for you. At least I'm able to Work hard for myself. Also, I don't blyou for anything. It's that bastard's fault" Nicholas' company had nothing to do with my profession. The Hawk Corporation also had its own legal department. There was no need for him: to snatch those small collaborations from us.
However, he did open a law firm for Jasmine. It was called Jassy Associates He had offered a large salary to attract many lawyers from the industry Then, he gave all the collaborations he had sabotaged and gave them to Jasmine Jasmine didn't even need to do a thing as someone would manage the law firm for her. He was doing all these as if to prove that whatever I had to work hard for, Jasmine would be able to obtain it easily.
I looked out the car window and remained silent
Nicholas wantedto be miserable, and I accepted the fact that he was targeting me. But I couldn't accept the fact that he was also targeting Jay Caldwell & Co. because of me.
He had threatenedbefore, but those had always been empty words. He had never truly done anything to the people beside me. But after everything. he was done being nice. I could only console Yasmine and say, "Don't worry. I'll think of another way.
