Zachary continued, "300 million dollars at least. Not 300 million dollars at most."Melvin looked at Joey glumly, "I only have 50 million dollars. That's all my savings, ma'am."Joey hated Zachary's fearmongering. She glared at him and said, "Can you stop scaring people?""I'm serious. Pixie is a ten-year-old brand, and it used to be famous. Without that much money, you can't acquire it." Zachary then took a sip of his wine.Joey frowned and said nothing."Must you acquire Pixie?" Melvin inquired meekly.If he gave all his money to Joey, he'd be penniless. While he could still feed himself, he wouldn't have any money left to spend on his games.He loved to whale on his games. If he no longer had the funds to sustain his hobby, his friends would mock him."Yes. Emmen needs its own brand, but releasing one is tough. Pixie is well-known among consumers. If we can acquire it under the current circumstances, it'd be a very advantageous move," explained Joey.Pixie had close to no n

The chatroom's content infuriated him. "Hey! I'm not a simp. Don't call me a simp."The comments didn't stop."Pfft, from the way you buzz around them like a busy bee, you're a simp alright.""Mhm. You were their background noise. We donated money to your stream just so that you can become their simps. LOL."Melvin scowled. "I told you that's not true. Besides, Zachary and Joey are not dating. There's nothing on the news. Mind your words now.""Many celebrities are dating in secret, too," said Zachary nonchalantly on the side.Melvin took a deep breath. "I'll stream later, guys. Bye.""Look at him. He's having a meltdown. Why don't you fight Zachary over Joey?"Melvin went offline, unable to deal with the live chat anymore.Fighting Zachary over Joey? Zachary could very well raze his garage to the ground. Moreover, he wasn't into Joey, anyway.Melvin told his teammates that he was going offline before glaring at Zachary."Are you sure she won't be mad that you said that? The

Joey made no response. She'd know more details once she met with Pixie tomorrow with Zachary.Noticing Joey's silence, Selena uttered, "Let's wait until we get the precise figures. Aren't we supposed to have dinner at your place? Don't talk about work."Hanson smirked. "Okay, no work talk."As the group drove and stopped before a traffic light, Joey suddenly said, "I told Selena to install cameras in Yvonne's room. I thought about it and realized it isn't right."Hanson was stunned by the sudden reveal.Selena looked at Joey incredulously. She couldn't believe that her friend would take the blame for her. Biting her lips, she shot Joey a quizzical look.Hanson fell silent. When the light turned green, he asked Joey, "Have you always held prejudices against Yvonne?""If she hadn't done all those things to get on my bad side, I wouldn't have held any grudges against her. Can you remove the cameras in her room?"Also, I won't join you guys for dinner. Just drop me off somewhere,"

Alas, life was often treacherous. Right when Joey was busy typing the proposal to convince Harrison in the meeting tomorrow, Zachary texted her and told her to go online to look at the news.Joey went on her social media and found several topics trending.#SelenaBuggedYvonnesRoom #YvonnesRoomFootageLeakedJoey clicked on the link.In the footage, Yvonne was sleeping in her room. Her sleeping gown slowly receded as she tossed and turned, revealing her thighs.If Yvonne had done this on purpose, it meant she was hellbent on destroying Emmen.Before she could finish watching the video, Zachary called. Joey picked up right away."Will the news affect our plans tomorrow?" Joey cut to the chase.Zachary knew it served no purpose to lambast Selena's reckless action.Sternly, he uttered, "The Fulhams asked Pixie to decide tonight. Selena committed a crime, and they are not going to let her go unpunished. Emmen's reputation will be affected, too.""I know. Everything is in the footage

A prestigious family was trying to destroy Emmen. Caught in the crossfire, Pixie was destined to be cannon fodder. Only a few major shareholders still clung to the pipedream of a possible comeback.A lot of money had been spent on Pixie in past years. Most shareholders were at their wit's end."I'll sell it," exclaimed a white-haired shareholder. He then turned to his peers. "We get the money and move on from Pixie."Everyone agreed, so Joey gave Harrison the contract. "Take a look. If you're fine with everything, you can sign it."Harrison accepted the document and studied it. Several other shareholders stood next to him and read through it, too. Once they were done, Harrison went to make a copy of the contract."Ms. Linton, do you think there's still hope for Pixie?" The white-haired shareholder seized the momentary pause and posed a question."I believe so, and I will work for it," said Joey confidently.The shareholders had been nurturing the brand for a decade. Suffice to s
