Chapter 43 - Cancellation Cooperation
All the employees smiled happily when Viola finally agreed to their deal with a fifteen percent profit. Everyone applauded and felt happy because they could finally end the meeting that didn't end easily.
After the meeting ended that day, Bryan left immediately. Viola still followed Bryan.
"Ah, I feel that with the end of the fifteen percent profit deal, just having dinner isn't enough," Viola said, surprising Bryan.
"What do you mean?" Bryan asked again with an annoyed face.
"I said it's not enough if you just pay me back with dinner. "I... want more than that," Viola said with a flirtatious smile.
Bryan snorted in annoyance and immediately left Viola without saying anything.
"Why are you silent? I'm serious," Viola said again and followed Bryan to his room.
"Go away, no more deals. It's all over, I want to rest," Bryan said, pushing Viola away with a hard shove.
An angry Viola immediately looked at someone who had followed them. He had a camera in his hand, ready to take pictures of them. Apparently, he was a paparazzi that Viola had accidentally hired.
Viola also unbuttoned her shirt and let her underwear show. He left quickly and held Bryan's bedroom door open. Bryan remained silent and looked at Viola with annoyance.
The paparazzi immediately captured this rare moment. He was even very excited when Bryan held Viola's hand and happily took a picture of her.
"What are you doing?" he asked. His right hand held Viola's arm, ready to move it. But Viola held on to her body.
"So what? I... just want to accompany you at night. Is... that just not allowed?" Viola asked, teasing Bryan again. It was clear that Bryan was getting angrier and angrier.
"You're disgusting, you know?" Bryan said, lowering his voice so the others wouldn't hear, but he wanted Viola to know that what he was doing was becoming disgusting to Bryan.
"No!" Viola replied firmly. He moved his body closer.
"How can there be a woman like you? You... really have no shame?"
"You yourself, how can you continue to reject me? Tell me why," Viola asked.
Bryan smiled wryly. He was at a loss for words. Does Viola really not know. Or pretending not to know. Doesn't Viola know that he is married and can't decide to sleep with another woman besides his wife.
"Are you baiting me on purpose? I... already have a wife. So stop teasing me," Bryan replied, making Viola sick to hear this reason that didn't make any sense.
How could that be, just because he was married and had a wife. Men like Bryan resisted her charms. Even Viola was sure that she was much better than the wife Bryan was proud of.
"I wonder how you can survive with only one woman? What does this woman have?" snorted Viola, annoyed.
"She's not just a woman, she's my heart, she's my life!" muttered Bryan.
Viola was stunned to see Bryan's face, which immediately softened as he praised Kayana. How much Kayana means in his life. Even Viola was no match for him. So all the teasing and seduction Viola had done didn't make Bryan flinch in the slightest.
Viola became bolder, wrapping her hands around Bryan's neck and pressing her body against his.
Bryan stared in surprise at Viola's exaggerated attitude. The paparazzi present cheered this very rare and expensive scene. He immediately captured the moment with his camera.
"You've gone too far Viola, you're sick!" Bryan shouted and tried to free Viola's body from his. But Viola became bolder and brought her face closer to Bryan's.
"I love you, Bryan," Viola said seductively.
Enough! Or I cancel. Our cooperation! Bryan threatened fearlessly, completely overwhelmed by Viola's incessant teasing.
"Don't refuse it, just accept it. I... won't make you regret it," Viola said, completely ignoring Bryan's threat. Bryan picked up his cell phone and called John.
"Cancel all our contracts today!" Bryan said giving orders in a very angry tone of voice. He immediately turned off his cell phone and shoved Viola hard.
Viola was stunned. He almost fell if he didn't hold his body against Bryan's bedroom door.
"Why are you being so stubborn?" Viola asked, not accepting to be treated like this.
"Not me, but you. You already know that your attitude is wrong. But you insist on making me fall into your trap? "Don't expect me to be easy to find, Viola," Bryan said, pulling Viola away from the front door of his room.
"Where are you going? I'm not done talking yet!" Viola asked angrily.
But Bryan didn't answer and went into his room. He even closed the bedroom door loudly just as Viola was about to enter.
"Argh!" Viola screamed hysterically, not accepting to be treated like this.
"Just watch, I... will pay you back Bryan," Viola whispered vengefully.
Bryan grabbed his cell phone as it rang on the floor. He read John's name on the screen. Without thinking, Bryan immediately answered the call.
"John, did you do what I asked?" Bryan asked. He took a sitting position on his bed, unbuttoning his shirt which was choking his neck and making it hard to breathe.
"President, is what I heard true? I think you said the wrong thing," John asked and Bryan took a deep breath.
"Yes," Bryan replied carelessly.
"It's worth millions of dollars, how could you do such a thing?" John asked in disbelief at hearing something so amazing.
"I can count."
"You're wasting your time negotiating 2x24 hours without stopping."
"I know," Bryan replied, looking at the pile of cooperation documents he had completed so far.
"I just hope the reason is worth it," John said again, hoping that his assessment of Bryan was never wrong.
"Very, very worth it," Bryan replied confidently.
"Okay, I'll do it. Are you going straight home?"
"Yes, get the plane ready to take off tomorrow morning," Bryan said.
"Okay," John said and immediately ended the call. When he heard Bryan's answer, he knew that all his worries had been for nothing.
Bryan sighed, letting go of a job worth millions of dollars is not easy. In fact, he had wasted valuable time that he could have used to be with Angeline.
But instead of betraying Angeline and causing an uproar throughout the country. Bryan did not want to continue the collaboration and decided to end it immediately. Until he remembered something.
"GOOD GOD! These paparazzi, they need to be dealt with!"
