After messaging Lorna, and thinking about the chilly scene at Midnight Scent, he decided to lend a hand.

At the office, he went straight to the procurement department, dropped the name and address of Midnight Scent, and said, “From now on, let’s get all our office supplies from them.”

With such a big client, those two at Midnight Scent would make a living. But to his surprise, half a day later, the procurement manager came to him, “Mr. Delaney, they won’t sell to us.”

Sanderson was stunned, “Why not?”
