Female Novel
Chapter 499 No Public Apology
By 6 pm, all senior management of Cross Group still hadn't left the office as they had to stay back for
another emergency meeting regarding their credibility crisis.
The admins all reprimanded Nathan for his actions today. He could've easily solved this crisis by
making Melanie their brand ambassador and pay her the 200 million endorsement fees.
But Nathan had to be so full of himself and refuse to let Melanie be their brand ambassador. They
thought it was his boastful attitude that offended Melanie and caused this crisis.
Seeing how the management reprimanded Nathan, Penny bit her lips and spoke up for him. "It is my
stance to not make such a problematic celebrity our brand ambassador. It has nothing to do with Mr.
Cross' actions."
One of the senior admins retorted, "President Smith, now Melanie's fans are spreading malicious
rumors everywhere and our stock price has dropped so much that 7 thousand million evaporated within
a day."
"If the new chairman is to question about this, who's going to be held accountable?"
Penny held her head high. "Me. If the new chairman is to question this, I'll take full responsibility for
this, even if I get fired from my position."
Since Penny had said that, the rest fell silent and dared not reprimand further.
Scanning the row of admins, Penny finally asked, "Now the most important matter is to settle this
credibility crisis as soon as possible. Any suggestions from the floor?"
One manager voiced out, "Since the perpetrators are Melanie's fans, and it stems from our refusal to
endorse Melanie, then we should make Melanie our brand ambassador to settle this.”
Someone asserted immediately, "Yes, President Smith. 200 million may be a huge sum, but it's worth it.novelbin
This is how business works, anyway. We cannot be too stingy when it comes to money."
The others nodded their heads in agreement. Making Melanie the brand ambassador was definitely the
best way out of their crisis now, despite the incredibly pricey endorsement fees.
Although Penny refused to make such an immoral celebrity their ambassador, she was no longer the
boss of Cross Group to make final calls.
She only had 20% of the company shares, while 70% of the shares were in the hands of the
mysterious chairman who never appeared in public.
Although the chairman gave her the full authority to make all decisions in concern of Cross Group, she
knew that every decision she made would affect the company and impact the investments of their
investors.
Hence, she could feel herself wavering in her stance, and was tempted to compromise with Melanie's
threats and make her their ambassador.
The poor president turned to Nathan helplessly, only to find him slacking on his seat and dozing off
soundly.
This dude! Come on, it's a f**king crisis! How could he even have the mood to fall asleep in such a
desperate situation!
"Nathan! Nathan!"
Penny raised her voice and called out to him twice, and only then did Nathan woke up from his sleep.
He looked around the meeting room, only to be met with gazes of disgust by the senior management.
"What's wrong, honey?" he asked dumbfounded.
Penny replied in frustration, "You said you can make Melanie apologize publicly and restore our
reputation. But now, not only did Melanie refuse to apologize; she even made things worse for us, and
7 thousand million of our share price has evaporated in a day. Now, what should we do now?"
Nathan frowned. "She hasn't apologize yet?"
Penny and Jenny couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.
Nathan checked his watch; it was almost 7 pm.
Time to regret her actions?
What does he mean by that?
Nathan took the remote controller and switched on the TV. Read at Drаmanovеls.coм
It was 7 pm sharp now, and the news broadcast started right on time.
Penny and the senior management stared wide-eyed at the TV news.
