To Nelson, 14 million dollars was a large sum, but it was still a good outcome because at least they kept the order.
“Kellen, don’t say that I already told you 30 million dollars is what I can handle. You help the company get the order back. If I fire you, where can I find a talent like you in the future? Don’t worry. If you stay in the Barnett Group, I will definitely treat you well!” Nelson was excited and patted Kellen’s shoulder.
Kellen had mixed feelings and felt extremely guilty. In fact, this trouble was entirely caused by him.
He indirectly caused Barnett Group to lose 14 million dollars.
“Mr. Barnett, I will work hard in the future and definitely make up for the 14 million dollars lost by the company!” Kellen said with guilt.
“Kellen, I’m very pleased with your fighting spirit! We will fight side by side and make the company bigger and stronger!” Nelson said earnestly.
“Kellen, this is our company’s fault for not being well–prepared and making a serious mistake. We got caught by Stellar Group, but it has nothing to do with you, so don’t blame yourself.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect that the problem was because of the license, which gave Stellar Group the right to cancel the order. Now we just need to give up 14 million dollars in profits to maintain our market share, which is already a gain for us. I believe that we can earn back that 14 million dollars soon!”
“Mr. Barnett…” Kellen wanted to tell him that things weren’t that simple.
However, when he thought of Joshua’s icy gaze, he hesitated.
Anyone with a brain would understand that Joshua didn’t want this matter to be made public.
If he spoke out, it would only make the situation worse for the Barnett Group.
Now, the only choice Kellen had was to stay silent and pretend that nothing had happened at the restaurant and that he had never met Christy.
Nelson and Kellen left.
At this moment. Terence was in the assistant’s room.
The security captain called him and said, “Mr. Spence, Gloria has been waiting outside the company for over an hour. Are you really not letting her in?”
Gloria had a good relationship with this security captain, who was a fan of Gloria. He didn’t want to leave his idol waiting for too long, so he took the risk of asking Terence for mercy.
In addition to being Joshua’s assistant, Terence had an important position in Stellar Group. Joshua even trusted him with the company’s cash flow. This showed how crucial Terence was.
Terence looked down through the crystal floor–to–ceiling window and saw Gloria’s Navigator SUV parked beside the company’s gate.
Terence was actually looking for this woman!
Gloria was actually coming to him.
Unexpectedly, she was so scheming that she even roped in the security captain.
If Joshua hadn’t anticipated it and banned her from coming to the company, she would have messed everything up. It seemed that it was time to replace the security captain.
Terence sneered and called Gloria. He said with a cold and indifferent voice, “Miss Gloria. If you’re free, come to my office. It’s about the cudorsement contract.”
“Mr. Spence? Alright. I’m free. I’ll come right away!” Gloria was excited.
Gloria thought, “That’s great!
Does that mean Joshua wasn’t angry and wants to endorse a new product for me and sign a new contract with me?
She heard that Stellar Group was developing a new high–end product and was going to find a top celebrity to endorse it. With her popularity, she was the perfect candidate.
Gloria quickly opened her makeup kit and carefully touched up her appearance. Then, with pride in her step, she got out of the car and walked proudly into Stellar Group.
“Gloria, you’re here!”
“Gloria looks even more beautiful in person than on TV!”
“Gloria, can I have your autograph? Can I take a photo with you?”

As usual, Gloria was very popular.
She enjoyed the superior feeling of being worshipped by her fans as if she were a queen.
The planning department was not located on the same floor as Terence’s office.
However, when Gloria took the elevator, she deliberately stopped at the floor of the planning department.
Just now, Gloria saw Christy get out of a luxury car worth millions of dollars. Gloria felt a bit unbalanced. Christy had only come back for a few days, so why were all the rich young talents around Christy?
First, there were rumors about Joshua and Christy, which were later proven to be false.
Now, a rich young man even drove her to work in person with a Bentley!
Gloria was jealous of Christy.
Since birth, she had liked to compare herself with Christy and wanted to overcome Christy.
She believed that Christy could never surpass her.
But who would have thought that Christy would be so lucky in love affairs?
Gloria decided to teach Christy a lesson, or else she wouldn’t be able to vent her anger.
From afar, she saw Christy sitting behind the screen, working hard.
The initial draft of Renee’s concert had been set, and Christy was making the final edits and beautification. She stared intently at the computer, unaware that Gloria had walked up to her.
Gloria became even more unhappy!
Everyone in the company obsessed with her and treated her like she was a Queen.
Only Christy totally ignored her.
“Christy, I didn’t expect you to be so thick–skinned as to work in Joshua’s company!” Gloria sneered.
Hearing the voice, Christy looked up.
Christy thought, ‘Gloria?
Is she here to make trouble?”
Christy calmly asked. “What do you want to do, Gloria?”
“Do I need a reason to find you?” Gloria sneered.

“If it’s business, there’s no job involving you in my recent work tasks. If it’s personal, I cut ties with the Osborn family a long time ago, so there’s nothing to talk about between us,” Christy said in a calm voice.
“Christy, what are you so proud of? Who said it wasn’t work–related? I’m about to get the endorsement for a new product, and when the time comes, I’ll definitely order you to be my designer. You’ll have to listen to my commands on how to design!” Gloria said arrogantly.
“Is that all you have to say? If you don’t have anything important, please don’t disturb me while I’m working, Christy said evenly, shifting her gaze away from Gloria and back to the computer screen.
The more indifferent Christy was to Gloria, the more irritated Gloria became.
“Christy, I knew your true colors a long time ago! You gave birth to two illegitimate children before marriage. You misbehaved and seduced men everywhere. Do you think you can become Joshua’s woman just because you appeared in one or two hot searches like me? Let me tell you! Joshua will never be interested in a woman like you who has born two bastards!” Gloria said maliciously.
“What did you say?” Christy was furious when she heard Gloria attack her children.
She could ignore anything Gloria said about herself for the sake of their sisterhood.
However, Christy would never allow her to call her children bastards!
Christy’s children were her bottom line!
