All this created a better impression of Benedict for the executives. Although he was not interested in the business, he was not brainless. He would still offer some constructive opinions.The current computer system in the company was his idea, and he even hired someone to set it up. There were also several other profitable projects within the company that was all from his suggestions.Everyone still looked up to him, but due to Derrick's poor health, he had been in a hospital for a long time. As for Benedict, he went missing, and no one had seen him for a long time.Everyone was losing their patience when someone pushed the meeting room door open with a bang. Damian stood at the doorway, out of breath. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his eyes were blank, staring ahead lifelessly.Seeing him, Arianna felt relieved yet annoyed.He knew what day it was and how important this meeting was. Yet, he showed up late and looked like a mess. As he moved closer, everyone could smel
“My next plan is to expand the market. We'll first put the perfume up domestically before bringing it into foreign waters." His plans sounded almost perfect. He had even identified the relevant industrial chains.However, the executives looked through the report and frowned slightly. They did not look too happy."Excuse me," Someone raised his hand and interrupted, "We only have one perfume. Although we got a good response, don't you think we're moving too fast? Other companies have already monopolized the domestic perfume market.“There are recognized brands from giants like La Beauté Group and other companies. This is the first time we've stepped foot into this industry. Shouldn't we take things one step at a time and stabilize our product first?"The company's executives were from the older generation, and Damian's pie was too big for them to swallow."Mr. Park, you're being too cautious," Damian said with a smile, "You must have a fighting spirit in the business world. How can
“Mr. Tanner, I'm sorry, but this is important! Do you remember how Naomi Schiffer was hospitalized?" The assistant asked anxiously."Yeah, I do. What's wrong? Didn't I get someone to send a get-well-soon gift basket for her? Is she trying to pull some strings?" Damian immediately assumed the worst when he heard this from his assistant.It didn't matter if she was a supermodel. The advertisements had been filmed, and she had also been fully paid. If she tried to pull something shady, Tanner Corporation had a professional legal team ready to fight her to the bitter end. "No. Naomi's team is saying that she was hospitalized because of her allergies, and the allergens are…"Damian became impatient as the assistant hesitated because he wanted to get back into the meeting room as soon as possible. Damian kicked him and prodded, "Say it!""She said that she's allergic to our perfume and that our perfume contains ingredients that are harmful to humans," Damian's assistant spat out in one
Damian's assistant nodded in response and went to work. Damian continued standing outside the meeting room, afraid to enter. When he had finally calmed down, he entered the space while maintaining a natural demeanor. "Well, I have nothing more to say for today's meeting. Do you have any questions? Otherwise, let's adjourn."The project was important to him, and he could not mess it up now. Therefore, it was best to call off the meeting first.Everyone in the room was taken aback as soon as he said that. They were clearly at the peak of their discussion, yet the meeting was called off."Damian-” Joseph quickly corrected himself, “Mr. Damian, why are you adjourning the meeting before you're done with your discussion? Why don't you introduce the new perfume to us? The perfume sold out so fast that none of us got the chance to see it, am I right?" Joseph continued with a smile. "I brought two bottles here today. Why don't we give it a try?"He then retrieved two perfume bottles and
Damian stood there with his feet numb, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He was at a loss for words. "Damian, what's going on? These are slanders, aren't they?" Joseph was the first to come back to his senses and ask. Hearing that, Damian quickly nodded. "Yes, it's slander! There's nothing wrong with our perfume. Naomi called and said that she was hospitalized because of her allergies yesterday, but she did not mention it being from the perfume. In spite of this, the reports present a different picture. She must’ve planned this to frame me!" "Oh? Why would she frame you? Did something happen between you two?" Donovan questioned. Damian did not know how to answer. There was indeed no enmity between them. After a moment of thought, he replied, "Maybe she's trying to blackmail us for the money." "Then, why didn't she reach out to you instead of going straight to the reporters? Also, it’s said that you were the one who sent the media over." Donovan's gaze was sharp as he
Arianna had been exceptionally quiet throughout the meeting, barely saying a word, to the point where people almost forgot she was there. Once Donovan called her out, everyone turned to look at her.However, Damian was still calm about it as he stood there with a smug smile. Although everything was a mess now, he felt it was not his fault. Donovan's accusing attitude upset Damian. 'Who does he think he is to question me like that?'"Mr. Elm, everything happened so suddenly. I do feel like it's premeditated." After thinking about it, Arianna continued, "I think this woman is quite suspicious as well.""Exactly! There's something fishy about this woman! She's trying to frame the company and me on purpose!" Damian interrupted, "Maybe La Beauté Group sent her. I'll go look into her at once!"Donovan shot him a look, and Damian immediately lost his arrogance. Although he was dissatisfied, he knew he was not the president of Tanner Corporation yet. Therefore, he was not qualified or powe
Arianna nodded. "Of course!"Just like that, the meeting ended.Damian never expected the highlight of his life to end like this. Not only was he pained, but he also did not know what to do next. "Arianna Tanner, what are you trying to do here?!" He could not hold himself back and rushed to grab her arm."Mr. Damian, what are you doing?" Arianna did not bother to break free from his grip. Instead, she frowned and looked at him. "You're hurting me."Turning a deaf ear to her words, Damian became more aggressive. "Is this part of your plan?! You're trying to frame me, aren't you?! Why did you suggest inspecting our perfume?! Are you trying to say there's something wrong with my perfume?!"His voice boomed. Since there were still people around the lounge area, it attracted many people’s attention as they gathered around. However, the duo was their two bosses, so no one dared to speak up. Everyone just stood and watched quietly."Mr. Damian, I need you to calm down. We should all wor
Although Damian was reluctant, he had to admit Arianna was more experienced than him in dealing with crises.When the elevator door opened, Nathaniel was standing there. The three of them exchanged looks, and just as Damian was about to speak, he heard Arianna say, "Come with me!"She called Nathaniel into her office and closed the door. However, as Arianna did not draw the curtains, everyone could see that she was talking with a solemn expression, presumably about the perfume crisis.Damian continued to pace around outside. His mind was in chaos. After much deliberation, he still thought that woman was the root of all these problems. He even wondered if Naomi had taken money from someone else and tried to frame him.After thinking about this a bit more, he stomped away.Although Arianna seemed occupied talking to Nathaniel in her office, she fixed her eyes on Damian, who was outside. When she saw him leave in a hurry, she dropped the act and signaled with her eyes that Damian had
