309 Forever Grateful (1/2)
”Alright, Sir… I understand. Thank you so much for giving us another opportunity…” Josh said to the person on the other line before he ended the call.
”Yes!” he cheered. It was one of the buyers who had previously backed down from their supplier agreement.
”Weird,” he wondered. Surprisingly, almost all clients who had backed down before had contacted him over after the wedding. They all wanted them to be their meat suppliers again.
Not only that, he had received even more calls from customers who would like to be in business with them. If this continued, their meat products would sure get famous soon. A broad smile was plastered on Josh's face.
”What's with the smile?” his mother asked as she passed him by in the living area.
”Nothing… It's just that I may become busier in the following days because we unexpectedly have a surge of new clients who wants us to be their supplier,” answered Josh, who took the opportunity to tell her mother everything that had happened before. Thankfully, everything went well in the end.
Sheila sighed… She was sure it was Old Madam Liu's doing. However, she chose not to disclose anything to Josh since everything was going well now.
”I have to go, mom… I'll be back for dinner,” said Josh. He kissed his mother's cheek before leaving. Sheila shook her head, hearing Josh humming and whistling as he went out the door.
Sheila then sat on the couch and rubbed her temples. Thom was requesting to meet her later today, and she was contemplating whether she should go.
Grandma Terry, who just entered the house, saw the conflicted look on her daughter's face.
”Are you going to meet him?” She casually asked her daughter. Sheila had told her about Senior Liu's appeal to talk to her in person.
”Yes, mother… I will meet him today.” Sheila answered with a long sigh.
”Do you want me to accompany you?” Grandma Terry asked, to which Sheila responded with a shake of her head, followed by an assuring smile. Sheila would also like to meet and talk to Thom.
...
Senior Liu arrived earlier than the agreed time in the meeting place. He kept sighing while he waited inside a private room of a well-known restaurant near the Lim's Villa.
More sighs left his mouth to alleviate his nervousness.
It had been a long time… to meet Sheila face-to-face and to be able to talk to her...
He wanted to personally tell her how sorry he was… He was startled when a waitress suddenly appeared to get his order. He did not hear her coming...
”Sir, would you like to order?” said the waitress, smiling.
