“I really can’t do that, Roxanne. All the foreign brands will be launching their new products during this period, too. If we don’t increase our productivity, we will lose market share and waste all the effort we have put in. Also, we have opened many new affiliated stores. If we fail to distribute products to them, we will need to compensate them for reneging on the contract. On top of that, we have also started our online channels. The online merchants. demand a certain amount of goods. Otherwise, they won’t be bothered about helping us promote our product.”
The barrage of reasons Elektra peppered Roxanne with rendered the latter speechless. In the end, she had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, the factory had just expanded its operations by adding many new assembly lines.
From Roxanne’s perspective, Elektra was a go- getter in the business world and was particularly talented in sales. Never could she have imagined that Elektra was doing all this just to set her up.
After instructing Linda to distribute the prize money to the researchers, Roxanne headed to the hospital to visit the sick researcher so that she could hand the reward over in person. When afternoon arrived, Madilyn invited her out to have coffee.
The moment both of them met, Madilyn began ranting as usual. A few days ago, Lucian and Roxanne brought the three children over to Madilyn’s place to visit her but inadvertently caused her a lot of trouble.
Lorraine, who was enamored of the children, kept pestering her daughter to get married soon. Soon, the nagging became a habit. Every day, she would bring up the topic by praising the three kids, putting pressure on Madilyn. However, other than buying Madilyn health supplements, Jonathan barely paid attention to the issue.
“Hahaha, he bought you health supplements?” Amused, Roxanne burst into hearty laughter. Madilyn rolled her eyes in response before frowning. “I wasn’t the one who brought this up, and I have no idea what’s going on in his head. The body checkup he did last time clearly showed that his brain is working fine!”
Intrigued by the conversation, Roxanne urged Madilyn to continue. In the end, Roxanne summarized, “I find Jonathan’s reaction interesting. From his perspective, he probably just thinks you deserve the best. After all, those are the most expensive health supplements on the market! Hahaha…”
“Stop laughing!” When Roxanne’s laughter caught the attention of the other customers, Madilyn felt the urge to strangle her to death.
“All right, let’s drop this topic and talk about something serious instead. How’s Jonathan’s gastric coming along?” Roxanne stopped embarrassing her friend by changing the topic..
“As a doctor, you should know better than anyone else that gastric illness takes time to heal. That said, his condition has improved a lot and he no longer suffers from inflammation. Soon, he can stop taking my medication and recuperate by taking yours instead.”
Madilyn’s tone calmed down all of a sudden. Roxanne stole a glance at the look in her friend’s eyes and realized the latter was seemingly hiding something. Truth be told, Madilyn was worried about his depression more than his gastric.
I wonder if he’s still suffering from insomnia and has been taking medicine without my knowledge.
“Oh, by the way, I have investigated Coralie’s real identity. It turns out that she’s Shawn’s younger sister. Don’t you think it’s a strange coincidence that Jonathan’s sister, Frieda, is in a relationship with Shawn?”
“What?” Madilyn was stunned for a few seconds. Coralie is Shawn’s younger sister. In other words, she’s the heiress of a rich family too! In that very instant, the look in Madilyn’s eyes turned grim.
