“Miss Gray, so you’re here. It’s truly an honor for Windstead Square to have you grace us with your presence. I am Barett Holbrook, the CEO of Windstead Square, and this is my vice president, Barry Cooper. Here are our business cards.”
Both the CEO and vice president respectfully handed their business cards to Lily Gray after seeing her.
Lily calmly took them and nodded, “Mr. Holbrook, Mr. Cooper.”
From the beginning to the end, she didn’t even stand up, sitting there without any burden, bearing the courteous greetings of the two CEOs.
Instead of getting annoyed by Lily’s big-star behavior, the two CEOs only had deeper smiles on their faces.
As a joke, they wouldn’t dare be angry with the person whom the big shot called and asked them to take care of.
Moreover, the tone of voice on the phone just now, when they thought about it, made Mr. Holbrook fearful.
Just by listening to the voice, they could detect the chill and grumpiness in it. If they didn’t know how to seize the opportunity to please Miss Gray and make up for their impression in the heart of that big shot, their position as the CEO of Windstead Square might be in danger.
Thinking of this, Mr. Holbrook didn’t dare to slack off any longer and immediately scolded the salesperson at the side who was still dumbfounded, “Who among you is in charge of this place!”
“It’s… It’s me.” Mr. Collins was completely dumbstruck, seeing the two CEOs flattering Lily Gray, his heart had long gone cold.
“So it’s you.” Mr. Holbrook’s eyes were cold and merciless as he looked at Mr. Collins, and his gaze fell on the name tag on Mr. Collins’ chest, “Surname Zhang, it’s really you…”
If it were any other time, being named by the CEO of Windstead Square would have made Mr. Collins ecstatic. But now, he would rather not have the name Zhang at all.
While he was still frightened, Mr. Holbrook’s cold voice came over.
“The service at this store is too poor, damaging the image of our group. Our group has decided not to cooperate with your brand anymore. Starting from today, we will give you three days to clear your stock, and three days later, we will lease this store out again.”
In other words, they were going to expel this brand from all the shopping malls under the Windstead Group.
Director Smith, who was representing the brand and came over, panicked immediately.
He rushed over after receiving Mr. Holbrook’s call for questioning, thinking that it was just a mistake made by the salesperson in the store, and that a simple appeasement and apology would suffice. He didn’t expect the situation to escalate to such a terrible extent.
“Mr. Holbrook, let’s talk things through. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with about our brand, please let us know. Windstead Group is Eastonia’s top luxury shopping mall, and it’s too important to our brand… Please, calm down, and don’t…”
“Mr. Smith, we’re old acquaintances.” Mr. Holbrook interrupted him coldly, “Listen to my advice this time, and don’t ask or say anything more. Just take your people and clear out your things.”
Director Smith had been dealing with Mr. Holbrook and Mr. Cooper on behalf of the brand, and he more or less understood their character. Seeing Mr. Holbrook’s words at this level, his whole person immediately wilted.
He knew that when Mr. Holbrook said these words, even pleading would be useless.
As he was about to give up, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of the sofa.
Lily Gray, who had been sitting calmly on the sofa since they entered, not even getting up, caught his attention.
His years of experience in the business world told him that the only person who could solve this problem was none other than Lily Gray..
