Chapter 291


    Charmine pushed open the door and calmly stated, “Does Ms. Duncan want to terminate the


    contracts?


    o problem.”


    “No problem”?


    Did Charmine just say “no problem”?


    Rio gaped at Charmine before he quickly went right next to her and whispered, “Have you lost your


    mind, Charmine?”


    Eric was just as upset, evident with the frown on his face. Terminating the contracts would cost them


    ten billion of loss, and their artists would not have any opportunity to attend this event!


    There was no way of salvaging the situation.


    Charmine walked up to the meeting table and sat on the president’s chair. She looked at Gloria calmly.”


    Ten billion is no issue for me. I’ll pay you now, but do note that I’ll only lose out ten billion, while Ms.


    Duncan would lose a priceless opportunity in three days during Horizon Night.”


    With that, she gave the proposal a push.


    Skreet!


    A proposal document slid across the table toward Gloria. Gloria took the folder and opened it, and her


    eyes widened at the sight.


    The proposal was…brilliant!


    Charmine truly could shift the tides to her favor even under great fire; she managed toe out with


    such an ingenious n!


    Nheless, the premise of the proposal was based on Scarlet being innocent. Gloria then lifted her


    gaze to look at Charmine. “Johnson Spencer has already published his side of the story. How is it that


    Scarlet was lied to? Do you have evidence?”


    “It’ll be here in the next two days. Ms. Duncan should have a read of my aplishments; I’ve never


    failed before,” said Charmine confidently.


    Charmine seemed regal, rather intimidating to the sight. However…


    “If this was any other show, I’d take up your risky offer without a doubt,” said Gloria, “but I can’t do that


    with Horizon Night.


    “The costumes on that event were all customized for every artist. Even if they were to work overnight,


    it’d take at least three days to finish a product. This is why the liquidation damage fee is so high.


    “Because of that, I’ll have to terminate the contracts with your artists today and start looking for suitable


    artists before it’s toote. For that, I can only offer my apologies,” ended Gloria as she ced down the


    proposal on the table.


    Charmine’s eyes dulled at that; she never expected for Gloria to be that stubborn. Gloria doubted


    Charmine’s skills, and she did not trust that Charmine could fully resolve the issue. Of course, Gloria’s


    apprehension made sense. Just a single percentage of the situation being unresolved would damage


    Horizon Night badly.

    Charmine’s eyes narrowed at the fact that the only course of action left was to terminate the contracts,


    but just as she was about to do so…


    “Ms. Duncan, why the hurry? Surely we can talk things out?” A deep and maic voice rang in the air.


    Everyone turned to see well-suited Julian entering the room.


    Charmine frowned. What was Julian doing in herpany?


    Gloria, on the other hand, stood up from her seat and greeted, “Oh my, Julian! What brings you here?”


    “I heard that Ms. Duncan is here, so it’s only natural that I have to drop by and say hi. Ms. Duncan is a


    busy woman, and you almost never have time to meet me.” Julian’s tone was warm and humorous.


    Gloria giggled at that. “Look at you, brat, even flirting with me! I wouldn’t be where I am right now if it


    weren’t for you back then. I’m just busy with some small matterstely.”


    There was a time when Gloria went hiking in the wild. She ran out of oxygen and almost died at the


    peak o f the mountain. Julian was her savior who gave her an oxygen tank and saved her life till she


    got better.
