Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart by Hayley

Chapter 20

Richard POV.

I sat in my office, staring at the market reports on my desk. Sales were steady, but something felt off.

There was this new company, 'Vitalé Wellness,' that had come out of nowhere, eating into our market share.

It was small at first, just a blip, but now... it was getting hard to ignore.

"Who the hell are these people?" I muttered to myself, flipping through the pages. Vitalé was different.

They weren't just another supplement brand; they were doing something new, something that was catching people's attention.

My phone buzzed. It was Clara. She was the marketing director and was supposed to have more information about this new player. "Got a minute?" I asked, already feeling the irritation creeping in.

"Have you seen the latest market reports?" I asked. "There's a company called Vitalé Wellness. They're becoming a real problem."

"Yeah, I've seen them," Clara replied. "They've been making some smart moves, integrating tech with wellness. It's a different angle."

"Different angle," I repeated, annoyed. "What do they think this is, Silicon Valley? We've been doing this for years. How is some new startup getting ahead?"

Clara said. "They've got a solid strategy. Personalized supplements, smart tech... It's what the market's looking for
