BuzzNovelChapter 305 +25 BONUS Just then, William's phone buzzed. He retrieved it and frowned when he saw that it was a call from Arsen.
His first instinct was to ignore it. But he know that if Arsen was calling at this hour, it probably had something to do with the company. As much as he didn't want to take the call, he had no choice..
He swiped to answer. He already sounded frustrated as he spoke. What now?" "Mr. Lewis, you really need to cover right away. The deputy director can't keep things under control anymore. The shareholders are all in an uproar, and Lewis Enterprise's stock price has dropped to a critical level. "You need to hold a press conference or release a statement to clarify the video. Taking it down is pointless now. It's already been spread everywhere." William's brow hadn't relaxed since the call began. His entire face remained tense. "Got it. I'm on my way now." After hanging up, he turned to glance at Rachel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe couldn't call Jim right now, not after he'd just promised to stay with Rachel until she woke up. If he suddenly left to handle company matters, he didn't even want to imagine how Jim and Sasha would see him.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to call Cassandra.
"Hello? Mom, how's Samantha doing?" "She's stable for now, I'm still here with her, don't worry. Oh, and saw the video. What the hell is going on? Was it the Lloyd family? Did those two do this to get back at us? I knew they couldn't be trusted! "William, don't worry. Once Samantha is out of the woods, I'll go to the Lloyd family myself and settle this." "Mom, now's not the tto talk about who posted the video. We'll deal with that later. I need to head to the office immediately. Rachel can't be left unattended. Can you cand watch over her? At the mention of looking after Rachel, Cassandra's voice immediately turned sour.
"What's there to watch? If she's going to wake up, she'll wake up on her own. If she's not going to, then nothing's going to change whether I'm there or not. What's the point ofgoing? It's more important I stay hwith my grandson." William was already agitated. "Mom! I already promised Rachel's dad I'd stay here until she wakes up! And another thing. Everyone online is saying I'm a scumbag. If I leave now and Rachel's left alone, do you have any idea how the public will tearapart?" That got Cassandra's attention.
"Wait, are you saying this could affect the company's image? And the Lewis family's name?" "Exactly. If I take a hit, the company and the family do too. Isn't that enough of a reason?" William knew his mother didn't care about Rachel, but she definitely cared about money and the Lewis family's reputation.
Sure enough, her attitude changed immediately.
"Alright, fine. I'll go now." William finally let out a sigh of relief. "Good. I'm heading to the office. Please get here as soon as you can." "Go handle your business. Rachel's situation is covered." Cassandra gave her word.
After hanging up, William walked over to Rachel and leaned in to gently kiss her forehead.
"Rachel, you have to wake up.
Tomorrow's our anniversary. I haven't opened the gift you got me. I was saving it for tomorrow. But what I really want is to open it with you." 1/2 Chapter 305 +25 BONUS With that, he turned and left the room.
