Feilan's face paled and her heart shook with pain from her still fresh breakup. She looked at the expectant faces of the members of the board of directors.
Though she knew that their reasons for asking her to seek Suzen's help had selfish and personal motives behind them, she still also wished that she could have been able to seek Suzen's help in this time.
But none of them knew that Suzen was the cause of her current dilemma and absolutely none of them knew that Suzen and her had broken up.
"I can't seek Mr. Shei's help.....and even if I did...I doubt he'd help" Feilan's voice was emotionless as she lightly felt her ring finger on her left hand.
This is where her engagement ring had sat.
The directors and investors were at first confused but then all their eyes instinctively moved to her ring finger and they were surprised that the finger that once spotted an azure blue diamond ring diamond was now free.
All their hearts sank.
"Miss Shao...uhhh..you're engagement ring is gone" one director stated.
Feilan forced a smile and said
"Uhmm..yeah..I and Mr Shei broke up yesterday...so no engagement"
Feilan tried to sound nonchalant and calm about it.
All the faces present turn pale from shock. Did they hear right or did Feilan really just say that her and Suzen Shei had broken the engagement.
"What...how is this possible Miss Shao...you two love each other...am sure it's just a misunderstanding right"
"Yeah..am sure you can make up right"
"Yes...Miss Shao..Suzen Shei is your only hope of reviving Feilan Fashion...you have to make up with him"
"Yes..Miss Shao"
"Make up with Mr Shei Miss Shao"
The whole board room was chaotic as all the board members frantically tried to convince Feilan into making up with Suzen. There was absolutely no way that they could lose the opportunity to work with Suzen Shei.
Feilan had always been their gateway to Suzen. That was the only reason most of them had decided to invest in Feilan Fashion but now if Feilan broke up with Suzen...was their main goal and plan falling apart.
No....Feilan had to get back with Suzen.
"Miss Shao.."
Feilan felt her blood boiling in irritation but she took a calming breathe and said as calmly as she could "I can't get back with Mr Shei but I'll definitely find a way of saving Feilan Fashion....I just need you to be patient"
"Patient!" a member of the board exclaimed impatiently "How do you expect us to be patient when we're at risk of losing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of investment
"I'm sorry Miss Shao but I can't risk it...I'm withdrawing back all my shares...I don't mind paying a few millions for breach of contract but I'd rather save my wallet before Feilan Fashion hits rock bottom"
A director said angrily as he stood up to leave and as if the rest had been waiting for that exact moment, they all stood up.
"Yeah...I'm out of here too.."
"Me too....I'd rather pay a few millions for breach of contract rather than lose everything...."
"True..."
Feilan's face became pale and her mind immediately panicked "No please...I'm requesting that you all please wait...I'm gonna find a way..I'll make one"
None of them listened and they all kept on leaving. Feilan was frozen still "Please.." she asked one more time.
"Sorry Miss Shao.....we're business men...we can't risk this much for nothing...I'm sure you understand" an investor indifferently said.
Feilan knew it was true but it still terrified her that her business was officially falling apart. Once all those investors and directors withdrew all there shares....there would be no hope for her business.
Feilan was all alone in the board room. Everyone else had left.
Feilan collapsed back on the office chair of the conference room and she buried her face in her palms and cried softly.
What hurt was that one of the few things that had been precious to her in this life—Feilan Fashion—was gonna collapse after all her hardwork and dedication.
Feilan picked up her phone and looked at it in silence. She opened her contacts and after five minutes of hesitation...she dailled Suzen's number.
She was shaking from pain but she knew despite her pain and anger, she had only Suzen to contact for help...that scumbag was the one who had caused her problems but he was the only one who could take them away...she had no one in this life.
After ringing, still no one answered...even seven tries later. Feilan's whole being was broken. Before this, all she needed to do was call once and Suzen would answer but not now it seems.
He had forgotten her after achieving his goal.
Feilan glanced at the number one more time 'I promise you'll one day regret this Suzen Shei'
Feilan then blocked the number permanently and even reported it. She then deleted the number and all it's history. Simply put, Feilan deleted everything on her phone related to Suzen.
Feilan kept her phone and forced herself to stand up. "What can I do..."
Feilan walked out of the conference room and planned on making a way. She refused to give up without a fight but even before she left the office, Feilan received a call from Feilan Fashion's legal business lawyer.
Feilan answered and tried to sound calm and collected "Hello Mr Kei.."
"Good morning Miss Shao..." a man's voice sounded nervously.
There was an omnious silence and Shao Feilan's heart involuntarily shuddered.
"Miss Shao.....all the investors just came up and they're all looking to withdraw their shares from Feilan Fashion....this is bad"
Feilan Fashion's legal lawyer stated.
Feilan's blood went cold but she had been expecting this but this didn't stop the tremor of her body.
Feilan bit down on her lip and said softly "I..know about that..they made it pretty clear that they were gonna do this"
Feilan chuckled bitterly "Let them do as they please...it's not like I can force them to stay.... ...they're even willing to pay breach of contract so.."
Feilan covered her mouth knowing Feilan Fashion was probably gonna be done for in the next few minutes.
So unless she found a solution in the next few minutes, she'd be done for.
