Chapter 961 Emergency Meeting "This is the contract you signed. It hasn't been two days and Hardy Group already wants to terminate it," Miranda stated.
Cecilia didn't pay her any heed, engrossed in perusing the contents of the contract termination.
Surprisingly, Hardy Group was willing to pay Orion Corporation triple the breach penalty just to break the contract.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why would Ms. Hardy engage in such a loss-making business?" "Who knows? All I know is that we're forced to terminate our contract. What about the goods in the warehouse? They all have a shelf life, you know." Miranda was in charge of food sales, and Hardy Group was one of the top buyers in Tudela. If they terminated the contract, all the stock from Orion Corporation would go to waste. Although there was compensation for breach of contract that would prevent immediate losses, losing a partner like Hardy Group would inevitably lead to greater setbacks for Orion Corporation in the long run.
"Did you say anything negative about the company to Aubree?" Miranda demanded.
Her voice was quite loud, drawing the attention of many employees nearby.
Everyone was curious. Miranda and Cecilia were considered relatives. One served as a secretary while the other was a manager. And now, they were at odds with each other. It seems the never ends in wealthy families. Cecilia couldn't help but chuckle at Miranda's words. "If I said anything detrimental to the company, why would Ms. Hardy agree to sign a contract with me? Does she have so much money that she doesn't know what to do with it, choosing to pay triple the penalty fee just to toy with us?" Cecilia couldn't fathom how a woman like Miranda managed to beca department manager. She never seems to think before she talks.
Miranda was so intent on targeting Cecilia that she didn't stop to consider whether what she was saying made any sense.
"You don't need to explain anything to me. I'll be calling an emergency meeting soon. Brace yourself for the criticism." With that, she snatched back the termination contract and stormed off, her high heels. clicking angrily against the floor.
Cecilia didn't want to wash her hands of the matter either; after all, she had handled this contract herself.
She decided to give Aubree a call.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe call connected swiftly. Aubree's tone remained friendly. "Ceci, did you call to askabout the contract termination?" "Yes, Ms. Hardy, could you perhaps clarify the actual reason?" Cecilia inquired.
Aubree didn't hide anything, "You're my friend now, and friends should help each other. But you should understand, as the CEO of Hardy Group, I naturally have to consider the company's interests. To you the truth, the reason we chose to terminate the contract was because we found a better option- ian Thau affound a much maen affaedahla han Orion C jon and arran agreed to sign a ten-year contract with us." Imminence Corporation again? After learning the reason, Cecilia made ssmall talk with Aubrée before hanging up the phone. Meanwhile, Miranda had summoned the senior management, preparing to cause trouble for Cecilia.
Cecilia was unfazed. When Jessica called her to the conference room excitedly, she did so immediately. Everyone wore grim expressions during the meeting, thinking about how to shirk their responsibilities. Nicholas was there, too. "Let's all figure out a solution to this issue with Hardy Group."
Finding a company similar to Hardy Group was simply impossible at that time. Even the smaller businesses were of no use; even combined, they couldn't compete with Hardy Group.
Miranda scoffed. "Mr. Rainsworth, shouldn't we be asking ywhy Hardy. Group decided to terminate the contract with us first?" Her gaze fell upon Cecilia as she asked, "Ms. Smith, the contract signing went so smoothly. Could there be any issues?" Without wasting any time, Cecilia pulled out her phone and played the recording of her call with Aubree earlier.
"To tell you the truth, the reason we chose to terminate the contract was because we found a better option -Imminence Corporation. They offered a much more affordable price than Orion Corporation and even agreed to sign a ten-year contract with us." X
