[MY Corporation is shameless! They’re involved in such a huge scandal, yet they refuse to terminate their contracts with other brands. Are they trying to drag others down with them?]
[Wow! I won’t buy any clothes that they produce anymore. I’ve become a fan of these brands that are asking for a contract termination. When I go shopping, I’ll buy their clothes instead!]
[Is MY Corporation going bankrupt? Why do they keep doing things that harm themselves?]
…
Soon, Silvia caught up with the news.
Joe was serious as he said, “Miss Pond, this incident has further fueled the rumors that our clothes cause allergies. The online community is full of scorn, and our sales are falling rapidly!”
However, Silvia did not look flustered. She nodded indifferently and said, “Alright. Ignore it for now and carry on with your work.”
Joe frowned. “Miss Pond, the best solution is to hold a press conference and provide some clarification.”
Silvia glanced at him and asked, “Will anyone believe us if we clarify things? Besides, it’s true that I refuse to terminate their contracts. The netizens are free to say whatever they want. Can I stop every single person from talking?”
So, Joe left without saying anything else.
Just as Silvia was about to work, her phone lit up. It was a message from Neil.
[Do you need my help with what’s happening online?]
She replied. [No, I can handle it myself.]
A few shareholders tried to visit Silvia because of the news online, but she did not meet any of them. She asked Joe to tell them to do the needful and ignore the Internet.
Before she clocked out, she called Rita to her office and checked on the status of her designs.
I’m only partially done, Miss Pond. The new recruits’ designs have yet to reach my requirements. I have to train them a little longer.”
Silvia nodded. “Okay. You can give me the designs that you’ve completed first. I’ll see if there are any adjustments to be made.”
“Okay.”
After Rita gave her the design drafts, she carefully asked, “Miss Pond, how are you handling the news online?”
Neil booked them a table at a steakhouse. After they ordered their food, things got a little quiet.
A while later, Neil broke the silence. “About MY Corporation’s scandal, if you need any help, just let me know.”
“Alright.”
After they had dinner, Neil suddenly looked at her and said, “Maybe you should move back tonight.”
Silvia lowered her gaze. She wanted to turn him down at first, but she thought about it and nodded. “Okay.”
Neil sent her back to her mansion in Elm Bay so that she could take some clothes and toiletries. Then, they drove back to Royal Vista.
After they returned to Royal Vista, Silvia amended the design drafts in the living room with her laptop.
When Neil saw her yawning while working, he said, “Why don’t you rest tonight and amend them tomorrow?”
Silvia shook her head. “No. I have two more business meetings tomorrow. If I don’t amend them tonight, I won’t have enough time.”
