Chapter 3 Asking For His Help
“So you still remember that you actually have parents?” Corynn’s father, Erick Harper, shot her an angry glare and all but yelled at her.
Shirley Harper, his wife, gave him a reproachful look and walked over to their daughter. “Corynn,” she said, taking the young woman’s hand. “It’s good to have you back. Come in and sit down.”
Her parents had been keeping up with the news regarding Elliot, so they were well aware that he was getting married. Erick took one look at his daughter’s devastated state and got riled up all over again. “I kept telling you not to get involved with that kind of man, you never listened! Well, are you happy now?”
“What on earth are you saying, Erick? Can’t you see how upset she already is?”
“Do you even know what people are saying about our family? They call us delusional and shameless for thinking we could ever attach ourselves to the prominent Andrews family!”
Shirley knew this, of course, but she saw no reason to blame it all on Corynn.
“I do realize how wrong I was,” Corynn said in a hushed voice. She lowered her head to show how much she regretted her past actions.
Erick huffed and snorted. He wanted to say more, but his phone started to ring.
“What did you say?” Erick exclaimed as soon as he answered the call. He shot up to his feet, his face etched with worry.
“What happened?” Both Shirley and Corynn looked over at him with concern.
“There’s a problem with the company,” Erick explained when he finally hung up. “The Mason family breached the contract and pulled out of the project before its completion.”
Such collaborations often entailed a number of contracts to secure a smooth operation. In this case, the Mason family would have to pay a penalty fee. That was well and good, but Erick’s company had used all of its remaining funds to purchase the materials needed for the project. If it fell through, all those materials would go to waste, and the company would never get their money back.
“What are we going to do?” Shirley asked anxiously. “Do they know that it will cost them a penalty to pull out?” “Oh, I’m sure they do. But those fees are nothing compared to the losses we will incur. I need to set up an appointment with the Mason family and have a proper talk with them.”
If Erick failed to keep them on board, then he would have no choice but to declare bankruptcy.
Corynn watched as her father made several calls, listened to his humble pleas and resigned sighs, and realized for herself that the Mason family was not going to change their minds.
