He had just returned, and immediately given himself quite the blow to his pride!
At that moment, his phone rang.
He hesitated in pressing the answer key. A panicked voice came from the other end, "Mr. Marley, it's bad news! Arthur Lindsey is alive and back! All the partners we previously agreed upon have pulled out, obviously trying to curry favor with Thompson Group. What do you think we should do?"
"..." Vermes Marley was rendered speechless.
He lacked experience in this kind of situation, lost and unsure of what to do. He answered hesitantly, "I'll call a shareholders' meeting when I get back home."
He had just hung up when another call came in.
He looked at the caller's name, not wanting to answer at first. But now that the cat was out of the bag, he ultimately took the call. Amber Sherwood's sharp, deafening scream pierced his eardrums, "My god! Have you seen the news? Arthur Lindsey is actually alive!!!"
"..." Vermes Marley was frustrated and confused, silent.
