released her.
He stroked her face and said, ‘Til go make a call.
Rest if you are tired.
I’ll be back soon." Sylvia asked, "Why are you making a call at this hour? Who are you calling?" His face was emotionless.
"It's a work-related call."

Odell smiled.
"Don't worry.
I know how to differentiate private and work matters." "Great." Sylvia sighed a breath of relief.
She went to the closet and changed into her pajamas.
Odell took his phone outside.
The moment he stepped outside, a layer of severity shadowed his handsome features.
He called Cliff.
The call got through in less than a second.
"Sir, what is it?" "How's the progress on the project with the Springsteen Corporation?" "It's progressing smoothly.
We have just reached the final phase of the project." "Put it on hold first.
I'll give you a notice on when we will resume." "Huh? Why, sir? We are moving towards the most important phase.
If we pause or stop now, it will kill the project in the cradle, and we will suffer a huge financial loss."
"Who will losemore? Us or the Springsteens?" "The Springsteens, of course.
They have invested a huge amount of manpower and funds into this project.
If this project dies, they will probably end up in a huge financial crisis."
"How huge?"
Cliffwas slightly stunned.
"Uh...
Given their recorded cash flow, if this project dies, and they don't have the cash to continue operations, they won't
beable to invest in another project and their financial chain will be broken.

"Then, putit on pause.
I'll tell you when I have the mood to continue." Cliff nodded.
"Alright, sir.
I'll make the necessary arrangements." Odell hung up the phone and returned to the room.
Cliff was still working in the office.
He stared at the black screen of his phone and pursed his lips helplessly.
His boss should know better than anyone how much this project cost and how much damage it would do to the
Springsteens if it wasceased.
He wondered what the Springsteens could have done to invoke his boss's wrath.
Back at the Springsteens' residence, Master Springsteen scolded his wife as soon as he returned home.
He berated Madam Springsteen in front of the family and did not hold back with hisremarks.
Madam Springsteen sulked in silence as she could not do anything.
