Alright, I’ll get us a private room upstairs first, Mozart. It won’t take too long,” Amber said.
Shortly after, Amber led Diana to the back door where they found the bar owner who then escorted them to the second floor.
After approximately five minutes, the bar owner returned to the first floor and approached Murik.
“Sir, someone has invited you to a private room upstairs,” the owner informed him.
Though curious, Murik was not in a good mood today. When he heard that someone had invited him for a drink, he simply nodded and followed.
Once the owner led Murik to the private room, he left him there.
Murik then reached out to knock on the door, but soon after the door opened, and he found himself being dragged inside.
“What are you doing?!” Murik demanded.
Murik was terrified, thinking that he was in danger. That was until he heard a familiar voice.
“Calm down, Murik. I’m not going to hurt you…”
Murik finally relaxed when he saw Diana standing in front of him.
“You were the one who called me here? You should have told me earlier, then I wouldn’t have been so scared…
Diana walked over to Murik and asked. “What’s with last night’s message? You have something to tell me, correct?”
“I have questions I’d like to ask you too. What’s with the new regulation of senior members in the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce?”
Murik continued, “But it’s too late to do anything now. I’ve only just realized how dire the situation actually is today. Somehow, Vivian managed to obtain the most shares of all petroleum businesses in Bashra. All she has to do is slowly eat away at those petroleum businesses. It’s only a matter of time before the chamber of commerce becomes hers!”
“I’ve already thought about resigning!”
Diana suddenly thought of something when he heard the regret in Murik’s voice.
“No, there’s no rush Murik. We haven’t lost yet…”
Murik still locked distressed when he heard that. He did not believe they still had a chance to turn things around.
“With things the way they are now, how have we not lost yet? I’m pretty sure once I submit my resignation, the two petroleum fields under your name will also be targeted.”
Diana naturally understood Murik’s feelings. Because only a handful of people knew about the other plan Diana had carried out back then.
