Chapter 62
As the color drained from Mandy's face, the entire family began to panic.
It seemed as though they had somehow offended everyone overnight as all those people simultaneously decided to ignore them.
“Don't you find it a little strange that everyone collectively broke the contracts at this time?”
Brittany was relatively calmer and began raising some questions.
“Brittany, are you saying that someone is targeting us?”
His daughter's question enlightened Richard as he immediately thought of the key issue.
Brittany nodded before asking her parents, “Since so many hotels and companies have unilaterally terminated their contract with us, and even the vegetable vendors have ignored us, the answer is obvious. Have you both offended some big shot recently?”
“We spend our days attending to the vegetables in the greenhouse. How can there be time and place to offend some big shot! Did you, on the other hand, offend anyone in the company recently, Brittany?” Richard answered without any hesitation.
“I... I didn't either!”
Brittany was about to comment that other than Harold, she had not offended anyone recently. However, in the end, she reasoned to herself that he could never possess the ability to instruct the hotels, large
companies, and vegetable sellers to boycott their business collectively.
Besides, it was his idea that we should venture into greenhouse produce back then.
This time, the trio turned their attention to Brittany's younger brother, Gordon.
“Why is everyone looking at me? Although I often associate with Goldie and the others, I've never offended any big shot!” he protested, feeling wronged.
“It's pointless for us to keep on guessing. Tomorrow, I'll go to those hotels and companies and get an explanation from them in person. Only through finding out the reason can we come up with the corresponding countermeasure,” Brittany said helplessly.
The rest of them could not think of anything better, so they could only nod their heads.
It was a depressing and uneasy night for the Xenoses.
The next day, Brittany went to those big companies and hotels early in the morning, going door-to-door to find the initial coordinators.
To her despair, all the hotels and companies she went to turned her down for various reasons and did not even give her the chance to speak face-to-face.
It continued until noon when she dragged her exhausted body to an office building, the last company that signed a contract with her family.
“Hello, I'd like to speak to Mr. Yale of your company's purchasing department. Is he available?”
Brittany had lost all the confidence she had had at the beginning of the day and now spoke to the receptionist with a pleading tone.
The receptionist was most likely a newcomer as she picked up the phone and called the purchasing manager of their company without hesitation upon hearing Brittany's request.
Joy washed over Brittany's features when she saw that.
“Mr. Yale wishes to know who you are.”
The receptionist exchanged a few words with the purchasing manager on the phone before asking her the question. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Just inform him that I'm Brittany Xenos from Brittany's Greenhouse Produce, and I wish to see him for something important,” Brittany replied, feeling excited upon seeing that there was finally a company willing to speak to her.
The receptionist relayed her words truthfully to the purchasing manager on the other end. However, within ten seconds, she put down the phone.
“I'm sorry, Ms. Xenos. Mr. Yale said that he's too busy to meet you. I kindly ask you to leave!”
The receptionist's words diminished the spark of hope that had grown within Brittany, causing her to feel ever so hopeless again.
She did not say anything more and could only drag her tired body away, knowing very well that arguing further would not work as she had already tried many times.
