Chapter 271 Flat Refusal

• “If you‘re not in charge, the deal is off.” The crowd was stunned. Claude‘s underlings were frustrated. In contrast, Gloria‘s supporters were smiling. This was not surprising since she had informed Jonathan in advance. She declined again, “But I‘m not qualified. There is a high chance of failure.” “The proposal came from you, and that makes you more capable than anyone else. My princess, have faith in yourself. Have you reported it to your company?” As Gloria remained silent, Jonathan continued, “Share my thoughts with the executives of your company. Don‘t bother trying to persuade me. Without your involvement, the project will lack agility. In that case, I‘d rather not initiate it.” Claude was petrified.
• He had wanted to grab the phone and do the talking himself. To his dismay, Jonathan made such a remark that left no room for maneuvering. The man would not consider his reputation. Gloria glanced at everyone and shrugged. Then she tried persuading Jonathan one last time. “Mr. Brown, you should think twice. I‘m a newcomer after all.” Jonathan chuckled, “In my mind, even the most experienced worker can‘t come up with such a perfect proposal.” The crowd couldn‘t argue with that. He had a point. They were also astonished by her proposal. Besides, this offer was given by Jonathan. This man was their client who had the final say. The White Group had no right to change the program manager.
• It was Gloria who brought them the deal in the first place. “Anything else? Duty calls.” “Nope,” Gloria replied. “Well, let‘s have dinner together.” The crowd hadn‘t expected that. They looked over at Gloria, but she rejected, “Sorry, I‘m busy.” The crowd was blown away. That was a flat refusal. Angela stared at Gloria. Jealousy was gnawing at her. Jonathan chuckled and stopped teasing her. “Another time then, bye.“He knew that Gl oria had put the speaker on. He just wanted to let everyone know about their relationship. “Bye.”
