Chapter 567:
Holley’s posture tensed, and she nodded earnestly, her tone desperate. “Yes, yes! There won’t be a next time!”
Lucas didn’t linger.noveldrama
With a soft click, he placed the coffee cup down, stood up, and left.
Holley watched him leave, her mind filled with uncertainty.
Was that all?
Why did she still feel so uneasy?
Before she could ponder further, her phone rang.
Her heart raced when she saw that Baker was calling her.
She answered the call swiftly. “Hello, Baker…”
On the other end of the line, Baker’s voice was angry. “You’ve caused me big trouble this time!”
Holley’s face tensed, and she asked nervously, “W-What happened?”
Baker, furious, exploded, “I’ve been working on securing a loan for the Landpond project. The bank had agreed to give me the loan, but the manager just called to say the funds aren’t coming! I asked him why, and he told me that Mr. Clark had arranged this. Mr. Clark had also asked him to tell me that I need to keep you in line! He told me this was just a small warning. Next time, the consequences will be more severe!”
As he spoke, the veins on his forehead pulsed with fury.
Holley’s face paled immediately when she heard that.
So, this was the lesson Lucas had given her!
“Do you know how much we could have earned from this project? Now, it’s all gone!” Baker was seething with rage.
He paused.
Then, he clenched his teeth and hissed, “Didn’t I warn you before? I told you not to act recklessly! Why couldn’t you just listen to me?”
Holley replied, “I just did that for Kylee.”
“Well, what you did has caused me to lose a lot! Do you realize the trouble and financial loss you’ve caused our company?” Baker exclaimed in anger.
Biting her lip for a moment, Holley could only offer a timid apology. “I’m sorry, Baker. It’s all my fault! I promise not to act impulsively again. Please calm down. Right now, I need to regain Belinda’s trust. She has grown suspicious of me since the incident. We must find a way to clear her doubts.”
After hearing Holley’s words, Baker’s anger intensified. “Now you’re concerned about that? Why didn’t you consider this before acting recklessly? You shouldn’t do anything now.”
“I will handle the matter!”
He then warned her sternly, “Remember this! There must not be a next time! If there is, I won’t let you off easily. Understood?”
