Chapter 2211
Sylvie bolted awake from her sleep, her eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light, finding Gabriel by her side.
Gabriel gently rubbed her face, "Wakey, wakey, someone's looking for you!"
"Mmm!" Sylvie mumbled, snuggling closer into his embrace for a moment before sitting up. She straightened her clothes and headed towards her desk. "Come in!"
Milanda cautiously entered, casting a quick glance at Gabriel before approaching Sylvie, hesitatingly saying, "Boss, the folks from Glory Group rang up, wanting to discuss a partnership."
Sylvie had blocked Baron's number his attempts to reach out were futile, so he had his people contact Milanda instead.
Milanda was oblivious to the strife between her boss and Baron, but she had heard enough about Baron to suspect his intentions weren't pure.
Fully awake now, Sylvie's expression turned icy, "Tell them the deal's off. They can look elsewhere!"
"Right!" Milanda nodded briskly and left.
Sylvie turned to Gabriel, a smirk playing on her lips, "Some people just don't learn until it's too late!"
Gabriel looked up, "Then let's send them a clear message!"
Milanda's message irked Baron, and soon after, Sylvie's company faced retaliation.
Within an hour, three companies that had long-term collaborations with them called to cancel their partnerships.
The business manager sensed something was off, did some digging, and discovered it was Glory Group pressuring them to cut ties with Sylvie's company.
Though Baron's operations were mediocre, his powerful connections and ruthless behavior meant most preferred to avoid crossing him.
Milanda rushed back to report to Sylvie, who remained unfazed, "Let them do what they want. Just follow the standard procedure for cancellations."
Milanda was fuming but left to carry out the instructions.
Not even thirty minutes later, another company called to cancel their collaboration. Sylvie maintained her stance-anyone wanting out could leave, and they wouldn't be seeking a partnership again. Just as Milanda had left, she hurried back, phone in hand, whispering, "Boss, it's Baron on the line. He wants to talk to you."
Sylvie didn't even glance at the phone, her tone cold, "Don't answer. Tell him he can do whatever he pleases."
Just the thought of hearing Baron's voice made her feel sick.
Milanda took the phone back, speaking calmly, "Mr. Barlow, I'm sorry, but our boss is in a meeting and can't take your call."
Baron laughed coldly from the other end, "Then tell Sylvie, if she doesn't partner
with us, I'll make sure her company can't operate in J City!"
Milanda frowned, "Mr. Barlow, isn't this a bit too much?"

After hanging up, Sylvie spoke up, "You don't have to entertain him. If he calls
again, just ignore it."
Milanda, concerned, said, "But we've lost four clients just this afternoon. If this continues, it'll cause panic among the staff!"

As they were talking, Lydia from the public relations department knocked and entered, "Boss, I think I should meet Mr. Barlow." Sylvie raised an eyebrow,
"What?"
