Tristan and Andrew were currently on a skype call. They were updating each other about the progress of their work in the two different branches. They were rushing to fix everything before the product launching that would be held one week from now.
"How's everything on your end, Bro? Are you okay?" Andrew asked him worriedly.
Tristan breathed in deeply while rubbing the space between his eyebrows. "The investors kept on delaying my appointnt with them. They rescheduled it again."
"Sigh! Can we just let them be? I think we still have funds even if they won't invest in us. It does not matter, right? The Heavenly Star Enterprise is not that poor. We have enough funds for these projects. What do you think, my dear Finance Director?"
"Yeah, we have enough funds to accommodate and support this product launch in our two branches. However, funds are not the only reason why we are trying to get those investors. I know you are also aware of that, brother."
Tristan heaved a frustrated sigh. He knew what Andrew was referring to. Their two branches were just starting to create a na in these two countries. They needed to strengthen the reputation of their branches by getting those investors.
They would receive a much more positive outco if those local investors from those countries would invest in their branches. Custors would be more at ease knowing that those prominent people invested in their newly established branches. They would easily get positive impressions and gain trust from their custors.
"I understand. But I swear… if they will refuse to see and reschedule again my appointnt with them then I will just go back ho and be with my wife. They are just wasting my ti. I should be spending my ti with my wife, not them!" Tristan lanted to Andrew with his dark expression.
Andrew couldn't help letting out a soft chuckle. It seed that his brother couldn't bear to be separated from his wife for too long.
'My brother is becoming too clingy as a man.' Andrew laughed inwardly at that thought.
"Alright, calm down, bro. Anyway, I can help you with that. If I can finish my task here then I can go there and help you. You can go ho and just let handle everything." Andrew volunteered to help him.
Tristan was dumbfounded for a mont. He didn't expect that his brother would be so kind and generous to help him. He never imagined that Andrew would willing to help him. He was used to seeing his brother as his competitor.
Now, Tristan realized that it felt so good to have a brother whom you could lean on in tis of problems and troubles. They should have done this sooner, helping and supporting each other, instead of competing with each other.
"Thanks, bro. Oh, speaking of you coming here, I just want to inform you that Hannah is also here right now, doing her exhibit. I t her in the hotel lobby. Are you not aware of this? You should have co here, instead of going there," Tristan inford Andrew.
Andrew fell silent. Of course, he didn't know since Hannah didn't inform him. They were not communicating for a month now. He didn't want Tristan to know that they were not in contact with each other so he decided to make up so lie.
"Of course, I knew she's there that's why I chose to be here," Andrew said while chuckling.
Tristan frowned upon hearing that. He looked at Andrew suspiciously and asked, "Eh?/ Why would you do that if you knew she's here?"
"Simply because I would not be able to focus on my work. I might spend most of my ti with her. I know you would do the sa if Lillie was there, right?"
Tristan rubbed his chin and nodded his head as he agreed with Andrew's statent.
"Yeah, that's true. You have a point, brother!"
Andrew just gave him a faint smile before changing the topic.
"So how's Matthew's investigation? Did he find out who's the one who tried to sabotage us?"
Tristan's expression darkened when he rembered that. Matthew just reported sothing to him before calling Andrew.
"Yes, Matthew found out who's the mastermind. It's the Sy Corp." Tristan said through his gritted teeth.
"The Sy Corp is declaring war with the Heavenly Star Enterprise," Tristan added.
Andrew's chuckle bubbled up from the screen. "Or should we say… the CEO of the Sy Corp is competing against the CEO of the Heavenly Star enterprise. I think… he had not forgiven you yet, brother."
"Sigh, I know. That's why I am just going easy on them because I sohow felt guilty for him. Besides, I realized how a total jerk I was before. But it was not entirely my fault. I didn't know she's his fiancee. Furthermore, I already changed. I am not the sa jerk as before."
Andrew could no longer hold his laughter. He was fascinated to see Tristan's acting like this. He looked very cute while complaining to his brother.
But Andrew was glad to know that his brother seed like he was already regretting everything that he had done in the past.
'Lillie did a good job in influencing my brother. She's the one who changed him to beco a better person.'
"So, what are we going to do, now? Shall we file a complaint against the Sy Corp for defamation?" Andrew consulted Tristan.
"We can't. Matthew failed to get concrete evidence that would directly point this incident to the Sy Corp but he sohow managed to discover that Sy Corp had sothing to do with it. Let's just focus on fixing this problem with the investors."
"If Sy Corp will not stop going against us then we will retaliate soon. For now, I can tolerate this. But if they will do sothing again that will cause to be separated from my wife then I will make sure to show them that they ss with the wrong person." Tristan said firmly.
Andrew could feel that Tristan was damn serious this ti. It looked like Tristan was very upset because of his temporary separation from his wife.
"Oh right, before I forget brother, Grandpa inford just a while ago that they are now preparing for the celebration of the City of Empire's Centennial Year. there will be a big event wherein different top companies in the city will be able to showcase their best product."
"Yeah, I rember. Grandpa also ssaged . They already contacted the famous supermodel who will represent our company while showcasing our product during the event. I think they are about to sign a contract within the week." Tristan checked his calendar to see the exact date of that big event.
"Do you think Sy Corp will do sothing again to sabotage our company? I feel like they will keep on targeting us and will create more trouble for us in the coming days. They are one of our top competitors right now," Andrew said.
He was a little bit suspicious about the Sy Corp. He had a nagging feeling that Sy Corp would try another strategy to create trouble for them.
"Don't worry, bro. I will not let them bully us easily. They can try but they will never win," Tristan said confidently.
