Chapter 1583Stella sat in her office, listening to the person in charge venting his frustrations.
"Ms. Hall, we’ve been working with The Velvet for so many years, and we always provide you with the highest-quality, top-notchmaterials, even on credit. We wouldn't have asked for the payment if we didn't need the money so urgently.
“We're all running a business, and trust is essential. However, what you've done is simply unfair to us!"Stella pushed a cup toward him and said in a gentle tone, “ Mr. Burton, have some water first."novelbin
After he took the cup, Stella said, "I'm completely unaware of the situation you're describing. Mr. Poole has always beenresponsible for purchasing raw materials, and | can't just believe everything you said without listening to him. Please wait amoment, and I'll call Mr. Poole to come here. Then, we'll talk about it, okay?”
Of course, Sam was up for the confrontation, "I've tried talking to him, but nothing worked out. That's why | came to you."Stella nodded, "Understood. I'll get him over right away."
Chris had taken a day off, claiming he would attend a meeting at his child's school, but he was actually out shopping with hissecret lover.
His secret lover took the fall for him and was even fired. So, he had to compensate and repay her. He had made some moneyfrom exploiting the company recently, so he purposely took a leave to spend some time with her.
When Stella called, Chris was shopping in a luxurious clothing store with his secret lover. He frowned, excused himself from hissecret lover, and answered the call outside.
“Hello, Ms. Hall.”
"Mr. Poole, come to the store right now. There's something | need to talk to you about."
“Now? Ms. Hall, I'm having a meeting with my child's teacher right now. Can we talk over the phone instead?" Chris replied."It'll be difficult for us to discuss this over the phone. Please come back to the store now."
Chris felt like something bad had happened, so he said no, "I really can't leave right now. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"
Stella fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Isn't Mrs. Poole a housewife? Can't she attend the meeting on your behalf? I'llspeak to her if you have difficulty talking to her."
His heart sank a little, and he quickly said, "I'll call her now and come back to the store in a while."
Chris was anxious as he called his wife while making his way back to The Velvet. He said, "If | don't call you within an hour, callDarcie and have her come to The Velvet."
His wife was chatting with her friends and was taken aback upon hearing what Chris said, "What's going on?"
"Don't ask so many questions; just do as | say."
Chris hung up the phone right after saying that. He figured that something must have gone wrong. However, he kept hisaccounts clean and had his own staff make all the purchases. He could not figure out what was the mistake he made.
When Chris arrived at Stella's office, he saw the person in charge, Sam Burton. He felt nervous but kept a calm face anywaywhile greeting Sam, "Mr. Burton, what brought you to our store today?"
Sam scoffed, "Since you're not going to settle the bill, | have no choice but to turn to your boss."
"What are you talking about? I've already settled all the payments on the spot when | collected the materials. I've told you that itwasn't my staff who made those orders you claim, and you insisted | pay. You're simply being unreasonable."
Sam immediately burned with anger, "You only paid for the materials you collected yourself, but not the ones picked up by yourstaff. The orders consisted of all top-grade materials. Do you think I'd make such a mistake on stock worth a hundred million?"
