Chapter 373 Food Delivery
“This isn’t a good idea.”
“I’ve already made up my mind.”
Although Josie knew nothing about finance, she decided to stay and assist the team
members voluntarily without receiving any salary.
From that day on, she started receiving frequent anonymous food deliveries.
The team was busy, and Josie practically lived in the office. Whenever she felt tired, she
would take a nap on the sofa and wake up to find her colleagues arriving. She would
immediately start the morning meeting, and it was at this time that the food delivery
would arrive like clockwork. Breakfast consisted of porridge and side dishes, enough for
everyone in the office.
Although it was nothing fancy, the food tasted surprisingly delicious-refreshing and
flavorful. Everyone praised the food one after another, assuming that Josie had ordered
the delivery.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLittle did they know that with just one bite, Josie could tell it was the skilled cooking of the
head chef from Mason Garden.
She remembered the cold expression of the man at the hospital yesterday, and with a
crisp sound, she forcefully put down the small spoon and stopped eating.
But the food deliveries didn’t stop at breakfast. Lunch and dinner arrived punctually, and
there would even be afternoon tea after lunch, accompanied by a bouquet of flowers, as
well as medicine and ointments, all exquisitely prepared.
Josie expressed her thoughts through her actions. She did not touch the food once and
poured it all into the trash can.
The person responsible for delivering the meals had a bitter expression and quietly said to
her, “Madam Russell, if you don’t eat, I won’t be able to explain it when I go back. Mr.
Russell will be unhappy with
me…
It was the same trick again. Josie thought. She stubbornly continued to do as she pleased.
As time went on, not only did the employees notice the situation, but even Bryce asked,
“Is there a man pursuing you, Josie?”
Josie rolled her eyes. “You’re overthinking this.”
She really wanted to scold that man. Her finger hovered over the dial pad, but she
couldn’t press any numbers.
She didn’t return to Mason Garden. If she really needed a place to spend the night, she
would go to the hospital and sleep on the sofa in her father’s ward.
The next day, Josie was late. As she was leaving, she thought that she must have missed
breakfast. However, when she opened the door, the delivery person was standing outside
the ward.
Josie felt like cursing.
“When are you all going to stop monitoring me? “she exclaimed without looking back.
The delivery person wore a bitter expression. “Mrs. Russell, we’re just following orders.”
Josie didn’t even turn her head. “Go back and tell your boss that if he really wants me to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeat, he should come and deliver it himself.”
After informing Bryce about the acquisition amount, Josie began discussing her own plan
with Arnold. “I received reliable information that the funds they are using for the
acquisition range from ten to twenty billion. In the short term, Bryce has very limited
funds available, and there will be a shortfall of around ten billion.”
After a brief pause, she continued, “I want to borrow this money from you. Bryce has
agreed to use all his Russell family shares as collateral.
On the other end, Arnold was accompanying Eileen to make mango mousse. His hands
were covered in flour, and he had put his phone on speaker mode on the table.
He remained silent for a long time, and even Eileen, an outsider, could sense the urgency
in the woman’s voice on the other end of the call.
After finally finishing with the flour, Arnold put it aside and washed his hands before
saying, “Using the majority of your shares as collateral and winning the battle, achieving
complete victory. Have you thought about what will happen if the counter-acquisition
fails?”
He spoke lightly, “Once it fails, it won’t be as simple as losing everything. Bryce won’t be
able to repay these debts in his lifetime. And if I backstab you and compete with the
acquiring party, you will soon become a part of my assets.
“Is it worth it, Josie? Have you thought it through?”
