Alan kept another file in front of Xoan, "What's done is done. Your incompetence lowered the views of our drama and negative reviews increased even after your statement."

Nathan continued after him, "We received complaints from the drama leads who were answerable to their fans and there are still negatives saying Focus is covering up for us because there is no proper reason stated for it. How do you expect us to explain it to the public when we don't even know what had happened?"

​​

The manager spoke, "President Morgan, The mistake won't be repeated. I hope you continue to trust us."

"Trust is won not asked." Aria unmindfully commented looking at the new contract.

Xoan wanted to shut her thinking she was just a little girl but his face darkened looking at her nonchalance.

Aria took a pen from Alan's blazer and wrote some points on the contract without care.

"On the contrary, this offer is enticing but not useful. Our recent drama started airing in Starlight from eight to nine and if we accept this, we will compete with our own drama for nearly eight episodes. Another peak hour-seven to eight of Focus is used by a returned international superstar... CEO Xoan's friend I guess, so it isn't fruitful. Coming to the advertisement section, the afternoon frequency is high which isn't helpful for us. And the review rate of Focus is decreased to 3.5 and we never worked with any channels who are under four. Importantly there is no statement released regarding the failure of the recent fiasco which you covered up with high ping that returned celebrity so we can't trust you just because you asked us. This is business, not a friendship."

Aria twirled the pen and pushed the contract in front of Xoan's secretary, "I have mentioned the mistakes. It might be helpful for fooling us next time with better ideas."

Her cold and emotionless tone finally ended and she raised her head to see bewildered secretary and fuming Xoan.

Xoan couldn't say it might be by mistake which would look like he wasn't serious and he couldn't accept either hearing the blunt and direct face slap by a little girl.

Well, Alan knew about contract details but he hadn't checked about channel details.

Nathan was admiring the couple. Because he hadn't expected Alan to be prepared beforehand with the proofs and Aria to be aware of the channel details.

Alan pulled Aria's ear. He can't change her habit of keeping track of his projects. He had warned her to just worry about Skyline but she keeps worrying because of her attacks the previous times.

Xoan eyes narrowed at the couple. "And you?"

Aria smiled under the mask pulling Alan's hand from her ear, "Me? Alan's wife, Alan's manager, Morgan Industries' consultant, Alan's friend. You can consider however you want which is actually none of your concern."

Xoan didn't consider her response could be true and he felt she was insulting him. "President Morgan, It's a business which is all about money and profits. Why do you want to lose investing in other channels? And keep little ones out and we can talk."

Nathan wanted to laugh hearing little ones. 'CEO West, for your kind information the little one is President of Skyline, not a little girl.'

Alan didn't care to look at Xoan. He loved how Aria talks for him just like five years back following him to meetings and checking the mistakes.

The difference was that she was asking them five years back to learn but now she points to teaching others.

His style was to hear them completely before showing their places but Aria softly speaks without caring how much she ruins their reputation.

"What my little one said is final. Meeting adjourned."

He didn't care to send Xoan off or check his expression. He scooped Aria effortlessly and walked out eager to open her face mask and sunglasses to look at his pretty little wife's face.

Nathan was used to his boss. He felt Xoan would lose his teeth by continuously grounding them hard.

'Bang'

Xoan slammed both palms on the table which shook by his force. "Who the hell is she?"

Nathan wasn't scared, instead, he was very glad he didn't choose the first two meeting rooms where the tabletop was glass.

"CEO West, I'm not allowed to talk about private matters of the company. I will guide your way out." He was professional without getting affected by Xoan's mood.

"You..." Xoan closed his eyes to control his anger.

He felt like it was a completely one-sided talk. He or his team didn't get to negotiate either. He didn't expect Alan to be so gutsy to reject him so easily.

Xin had left on his unplanned trip and he could only think about attacking Morgan Industries in different ways, "You guys are wobbling yet daring to talk about our negligible mistake as a crime. You just wait."

Nathan rolled his eyes at his threat.

Even though he didn't know what Aria and Alan were doing, he knew well the potential of Morgan industries was higher than the previous time. Just by using a small part of his brain, he could say, Morgan and Skyline Industries were prospering collaborating with many companies in hand.

Once their relationships publicized, many would think thousands of times to touch them.

He knew Aria's potential five years back and her current potential was above par. With his crafty boss, both were stronger to be failed in the business so easily.

He just wished the over smart man to get caught soon so that he could see Alan happy in office and stop standing on his nerves.

Nathan sighed.

Xoan stormed out in fury towards the elevator. Elevator doors were closing when he saw Aria punching Alan in his arms while he kissed her forehead fondly.

Xoan wanted to pull off the mask to know her and teach her lesson but he couldn't.

He dialed a number as he entered the elevator. He spoke as soon as the call was answered, "A girl in blue shorts, grey mickey mouse printed t-shirt entered the Morgan headquarters. Track her and give me all the details. Keep men at exits and report as soon as she leaves."

He decided to tame her in his style and teach her and Alan a good lesson soon.
