A Love Rekindled

Chapter 49

Caroline mentioned that Cindy had visited her office this morning and saw the other projects on her desk. "Cindy must have tattled on us to Bruce.” That was expected. A good deal involved benefits for both parties. So why would Cindy side with us?

But what would Cindy gain if the deal was called off? I couldn't figure that out.

"What should we do? I don't think Bruce is joking." Caroline looked grim. "If Roeval is hell-bent on ending our studio, we're doomed for sure."

I rubbed my temples. “Let's wait and see what Mr. Hopkins says.”

Samuel contacted Caroline the next afternoon, regretfully informing us that the two foreign investors we had previously contacted refused to engage with us again after having caught wind of the situation.

I thought of Bruce's phone call that day, and my mind was a mess.

When it came down to mental warfare, he was more inept with it

In the afternoon, Caroline called me into the office. "Mr. Zeigler called. The termination is set for the day after tomorrow.” The company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

I clasped my hands together and calmly said. "We need to find another way."

"Are you going to see Kate again?" Caroline asked.

I shook my head. "I'm going to talk to Cindy."

In the coffee shop, Cindy asked innocently, "What do you need, Nance?"

Of course, I wouldn't dare push her around.

I ordered her a glass of juice and murmured casually, "I'm sure you heard the rumors flying around these past few days. If Roeval withdraws its investment, our project will most likely fail."

Cindy remained calm. "Bruce seems pretty angry this time.”

"Yes." I played along. "In the end, it's because he cares about you and doesn't want to see you in trouble again.” Cindy raised her gaze. “You're overestimating me, Nance."

She sounded modest but her gaze betrayed her arrogant satisfaction.

I gently coaxed, "But the project belongs to everyone. Without it, you would also suffer losses, wouldn't you?”

"

's okay.” Cindy raised her chin. "Bruce said that when news spread that Roeval Group was venturing into the Mobile gaming industry, many companies actively sought thersout. There will definitely bea suitable one for me." Content ©

She refused to negotiate. She was starting to be like how a Mrs. Harold was expected to be.

I nodded. "That's true. But with your graduation approaching, it won't be easy to findva suitable projectso ~™ soon. Mereover, they may not havé the sate abilities as I do. Since you heardabout me at the university, yourshould know the weighty name holds, right?"

I was hinting that our game could bring her fame and honor. Cindy chuckled. "You're not being very modest, Nance."

With that said, there was no point in beating around the bush any longer. So, I took out the printed documents from my handbag and handed them to Cindy.

She looked at me suspiciously. "What's this?” "I've written down all of Kate's preferences." I smirked and feigned kindness, "Your success will ensure our success." Cindy looked uncertain. She was probably doubting its authenticity.

I sighed to myself. Originally, I was going to take this to Bruce for negotiation

But I wasn't in a hurry and waited for Cindy's response.

After a while, she finally took the >.

Her indifferent tone stung me unexpectedly. Caroline and I had been running around begging for money these past two days while she acted as if nothing had happened.

In the end, life was never fair.
