Chapter 363: A Fallout
"Whoever did this was too foolish. The work is water-tight, Demetri. There is no way there has been any non-compliance in our work or policies. I’ve already checked repeatedly," Seb retorted, frustration evident in his voice as he threw the file on the table before slumping into his seat.
"Hmm. I’ve checked too. They’ve tried to file complaints repeatedly with the Health Board regarding malpractices in the kitchen, but it has proven useless, and multiple surprise checks have proven that," Ian added, his eyes scanning the documents spread across the table.
"Yes. But this time, the merger and acquisition rumors have come on too quick. I’ve checked the financials and the market.

With meticulous detail, she went on to outline a brewing crisis within Frost Industries, disclosing a sudden falling out among the brothers. This revelation, she warned, posed a significant threat to the stability of the company, predicting a domino effect as investors, alarmed by the internal discord, might hastily begin shedding their stocks. The impending turmoil, she insinuated, had the potential to plunge Frost Industries into a state of uncertainty and volatility.

"Dam* it! Can’t these people at least verify something before making a report? Now I have to handle extra PR as well! My office is getting inundated with calls! Lucy and Ian, why did you have a fall out? What is this about?"
Lucien and Ian glared at Seb for his untimely joke before accusing each other," Hey! You had a fall out with Ian! I remember the two of you fighting it out last week." Lucien said as he frowned at the two."
