Chapter 373: Think of Another Way
Back upstairs, Liam sighed deeply, “Keep an eye on Abigail from now on. She’s impulsive, and I’m afraid she might do something foolish again.”
Isaac agreed, “Don’t worry.”
“And also, don’t take Abigail’s words to heart. We’ll continue supplying Dr. Prescott with the medication as usual. If there’s any issue with Leer’s Group, I’ll handle it,” Liam advised earnestly. “The Whitaker Group has always been trustworthy, we can’t let this incident compromise our principles.”
Isaac nodded, “I’ll call Dr. Prescott right away and explain the situation.”
Liam nodded, “Go ahead. I’m a bit tired.”
Due to the commotion caused by Abigail, Liam was quite upset today. Now that the issue was resolved, he finally felt the fatigue setting in.
Isaac waited until Liam was asleep before leaving the room to call Olivia.
Meanwhile, Olivia sat in her office, feeling heavy-hearted.
As dusk approached, there was still no news from the Whitaker Group.
She even began to doubt if what Gabriel said was true, that the Whitaker Group’s investigation was just an excuse.
If that were the case, she would have to find a way to contact herbal suppliers in the neighboring city.
Although it would take time to transport herbs from the neighboring city, there was no other option.
She wondered if the herbal suppliers in the neighboring city had received any news from Leer’s Group…
With these thoughts, Olivia hesitated but eventually took out her phone to call a senior she had met at a recent academic conference.
Just as she took out her phone, it suddenly vibrated and rang.
Olivia was startled and frowned as she glanced at the caller ID. Seeing who it was, her eyes brightened, and she answered, “Mr. Whitaker.”
On the other end, Isaac’s face was full of apology, “Dr. Prescott, we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding. Everything is resolved now. Tomorrow morning, the Whitaker Group’s herbs will be delivered to your research institute on time.”
Hearing this, Olivia let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. “May I ask what the misunderstanding was about?”
Isaac was silent for a few seconds before apologetically saying, “It’s an internal matter within the Whitaker Group, not convenient to disclose. But rest assured, this won’t happen again.”
Seeing his reluctance to elaborate, Olivia didn’t press further and agreed, “Thank you.”
Isaac smiled, “It’s our duty. If you urgently need any herbs in the future, consider the Whitaker Group first. We won’t breach our contract.”
Olivia thanked him briefly. After a few more polite exchanges, they ended the call.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
At that moment, someone knocked on Olivia’s office door.
Gabriel walked in from outside.
He had also waited all day without hearing from the Whitaker Group and came to check on Olivia.
“Dr. Prescott, any news from the Whitaker Group?”
As he spoke, he noticed the faint smile on Olivia’s face.
“They just called. The herbs will be delivered tomorrow morning,” Olivia replied with a smile.
Gabriel had already guessed the answer from her expression. Hearing her words, he also smiled, “I told you, the Whitaker Group wouldn’t go back on their word.”
Then his smile gradually faded, “However, relying solely on the Whitaker Group for our research institute might not be enough.”
As the research institute grew larger, the herb supply from just one group couldn’t keep up with their consumption.
Olivia’s smile also faded slightly, “In any case, this batch of herbs from the Whitaker Group solves our immediate problem. We’ll think of another way for future needs.”
