Harvey was a lot freer after letting Castiel handle the front desk. As such, he started planning on how to lure in Evermore.
While he was taking a few sips of his tea, Thomas approached him with two other people in tow.
At a closer look, the two were actually Saul and Lola- the two people who should’ve been trying for a baby at home.
Harvey invited the three to sit in Leona’s favorite gazebo.
After pouring them each a cup of tea, he smiled at them.
“Why the long faces? Did something happen?”
Saul quickly slammed his knees to the ground, kneeling.
“I’m sorry, Sir York,” he began in a trembling voice.
Harvey quickly lifted him up, frowning.
“What’s going on? Why are all three of you here?”
Harvey felt it strange to see such an odd group together.
“This isn’t about Thomas. I got the wrong person on my side…”
The usually graceful Lola let out a bitter chuckle.
“After Golden Estate fired Thomas’ ex-girlfriend, that woman sold every single detail about the company to our competitors, completely disregarding all professional
conduct.”
“Some of the competitors quickly changed their prices and targeted a few of our core properties, forcing us to lower our prices as well.”
“Of course, this isn’t the main problem.”
“Sydney seduced the top geomancy expert we hired, and got every single design drawing of the commodity houses.”
“The biggest feature of Golden Estate is that our houses are practical, have good orientation, and minimum pooling. More importantly, according to the geomancy expert, every single piece of land we chose and will choose is a good place.”
“That said, our competitors have been scalping the prices of the lands we’re about to buy after Sydney sold our information.”
“We’re now stuck between two decisions.”
“The costs will be very high if we decide to buy the lands we chose before. Judging from the current prices, we might not be able to pay them off with our own lives.”
“It’ll be risky for us to choose other lands.. After all, they were all chosen by the geomancy expert we hired. It’d be hard to find places like those.”
“Simply put, we’re completely stuck.”
“We might suffer if we proceed…”
“But if we don’t do anything, our competitors might just crush us instead.”
Lola’s face darkened.
Golden Estate was essentially one of her gambles, but But she put a lot of sweat and tears into the company as well.
The company was met with such a huge problem right after she gave it to Harvey; so she felt extremely awkward about it.
“Our current biggest competitor is Blazer Estate,”
Saul said, frowning.
“The person in charge is Ronnie Lee. I heard he has a background that probably spans throughout the city!”
“He kept trying to steal our projects, but Lola’s been stopping him for the longest time.”
“He tried using underhanded tactics against us as well, but he stopped after I exposed him.”
“I didn’t think that he’d get Golden Estate’s confidential information through Sydney like this.
This means that every single one of our future plans is now in his hands.”
