“Call George now and let him know we've changed the blueprints. Tell him that whether he moves out or not doesn't matter anymore.” Dorothy glanced at her phone, commanding her to make the call right there in front of her.
She had the situation mostly under control, but she needed to tie up all loose ends to prevent any unexpected surprises.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie hesitated. Her face mirrored her inner turmoil.
“But he's very intimidating. He'll definitely yell at me...” “Would you rather be sued by the company for damages or be yelled at by him? Your pick.” Dorothy shrugged with her hands spread outward.
This was not a negotiation.
“Is there any other way? If | tell him that, he'll think I'm jerking him around. He'll get back at me for sure.” “You're an adult; you need to take responsibility for your actions, right?” Dorothy calmly said. She then got up and opened the hotel room door. “Since you're not willing to do it and are still trying to bargain with me, let's just drop it. I'll let the company handle it. The legal team should be in touch with you soon.” As a final note, she added, “Take care. | won't see you out.” Natalie didn't dare utter another word and quickly waved her hands, saying, "I'll do it! I'll call him now; just please don’t sue me!" She hurriedly pulled out her phone, and once the call was connected, Dorothy signaled for her to put it on speaker.
Dorothy needed to hear every word of their conversation.
The call was quickly answered, and an annoyed male voice came through.
“What on earth is going on? You told me the blueprints were fine; was that true? Then why did some lady show up, saying you changed the blueprints and it doesn’t matter whether | move out or not?” Natalie pursed her lips. She was visibly nervous.
“I... I had no idea it would turn out like this! But, yes, they did change it.” “What? Really?” The man's voice raised an octave. “Are you trying to ruin me? That lady offered me 100,000, and | didn’t even agree! If this messes up, I'll make you pay!” Natalie looked at Dorothy for help.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDorothy just raised an eyebrow, signaling Natalie to continue.
“Then just agree to it. 100,000 is a lot.” “It's too late now; they probably won't even offer me that much. Were you threatened or something?” The man was no fool and could tell something was off with Natalie's tone.
“I didn’t want you to yell at me, okay? Anyway, I've told you what's going on. The company really is changing the blueprints. If they're still willing to offer you 100,000, just agree to it!” With that, Natalie hung up the phone.
She was clearly scared.
“Ms. Sanchez, | did as you asked, so can you let me off the hook now? Does...does Austin know about this?” “What do you think?” Dorothy countered. “At your age, you should be focusing on improving yourself, not resorting to cheap tricks. I'll put in a good word for you. After all, if the tenant agrees to move, you will have made amends. However, | can’t interfere with how the higher-ups decide to deal with you.” “Will I have to pay any money?” Natalie asked cautiously.
“I don’t know.” Dorothy's words had barely left her lips when Austin’s call came through.
She answered the call and heard a cheerful voice. “George suddenly agreed! You really did solve this issue. Are you free now? Let's head over to the site again. The investors are also on their way.”
