“I’m going to beg her!” Iris answered.
Levi disregarded her and went to the office of the technical department, drinking tea and smoking cigarette while Iris went to Everest Entertainment personally to negotiate with them.
However, the other party was adamant about terminating the contract.
“Unless you fire him after he kneels before me and apologizes to me or end of discussion!”
Lil Lacey gave Iris only one way out.
“Yes, that bastard must come and apologize on his knees!”
They were firm in their decision.
Iris’s face paled.
“I can make the decision to fire him, but I need to ask him about the apology. I’ll go back and figure this out!”
No sooner was Iris out of earshot than Lil Lacey and the others burst into laughter.
“You dare to challenge us, Levi Garrison? You’re dead meat!”
Lil Lacey’s eyes were loaded with hatred.
After returning to the company, Iris immediately went to look for Levi.
“Come, follow me to Everest Entertainment!”
Levi looked stunned. “For what?”
“To apologize! They said as long as you apologize to them on your knees, and then I fire you, they will overlook this matter!”
Iris bit her lips. “I can only sacrifice you for the greater good of the company. But don’t worry, I’ll compensate you once you apologize to them.”
Levi shook his head. “You’re asking me to kneel down and apologize to them? Hell no! They should be the ones on their knees apologizing and begging us to sign them!”
Iris’s temper sparked at Levi’s attitude.
He’s the one at fault. Why isn’t he trying to solve it?
“Levi Garrison, you’re the one who created this mess. Are you going to take care of this or not?” Iris asked coldly.
“Over my dead body!”
Levi was very resolute.
“Fine, I’ll get someone who can talk some sense into you!”
Iris left in a fit of pique to call Zoey, telling her the whole story.
Shortly after, Levi received a call from Zoey.
“Listen to me, Levi. Go and apologize to them. The interest of the company is more important, after all,” Zoey said.
“I won’t! How could I apologize on my knees to some trash? Besides, I didn’t do anything wrong!”
Levi stood his ground.
“Okay, even if you’re right, you have to think about the interest of the company, no? And Iris and me? A man has to take responsibility. Besides, it’s because of you that this happened,” Zoey said.
“There’s no way I will apologize! I won’t apologize even if you kill me!”
“You disappoint me so much!”
Zoey hung up the phone in anger.
Knowing that Levi wouldn’t go to apologize no matter what, the entire company was pointing fingers at Levi, including the canteen ladies and uncles.
“Look at him sitting there eating shamelessly.”
“He’s a useless piece of sh*t! Does he really think he has the power? He’s nothing without Isaiah!”
“He should have just apologized and get it over with. Does he think he can stay in the company forever?”
…
Levi felt a little aggrieved at the murmurs of dissent coming his way.
I didn’t do anything wrong.
Why do I have to bear the consequences?
Why do I have to get on my knees and apologize?
What is wrong with this world?
Levi would rather die than apologize.
Iris couldn’t help it either.
On the other side, Lil Lacey had found out that Levi had turned his nose up at their demand.
“Okay, Amelia. Let’s show them what we got!” she sneered. “I’m going to cut off their publicity channels, including their ambassadors. Let’s see what they can do.”
