Chapter 291
Charmine pushed open the door and calmly stated, “Does Ms. Duncan want to terminate the contracts?
o problem.”
“No problem”?
Did Charmine just say “no problem”?
Rio gaped at Charmine before he quickly went right next to her and whispered, “Have you lost your mind, Charmine?”
Eric was just as upset, evident with the frown on his face. Terminating the contracts would cost them ten billion of loss, and their artists would not have any opportunity to attend this event!
There was no way of salvaging the situation.
Charmine walked up to the meeting table and sat on the president’s chair. She looked at Gloria calmly.” Ten billion is no issue for me. I’ll pay you now, but do note that I’ll only lose out ten billion, while Ms. Duncan would lose a priceless opportunity in three days during Horizon Night.”
With that, she gave the proposal a push.

A proposal document slid across the table toward Gloria. Gloria took the folder and opened it, and her eyes widened at the sight.
The proposal was…brilliant!
Charmine truly could shift the tides to her favor even under great fire; she managed to come out with such an ingenious plan!
Nonetheless, the premise of the proposal was based on Scarlet being innocent. Gloria then lifted her gaze to look at Charmine. “Johnson Spencer has already published his side of the story. How is it that Scarlet was lied to? Do you have evidence?”
“It’ll be here in the next two days. Ms. Duncan should have a read of my accomplishments; I’ve never failed before,” said Charmine confidently.
Charmine seemed regal, rather intimidating to the sight. However…
“If this was any other show, I’d take up your risky offer without a doubt,” said Gloria, “but I can’t do that with Horizon Night.
“The costumes on that event were all customized for every artist. Even if they were to work overnight, it’d take at least three days to finish a product. This is why the liquidation damage fee is so high.
“Because of that, I’ll have to terminate the contracts with your artists today and start looking for suitable artists before it’s too late. For that, I can only offer my apologies,” ended Gloria as she placed down the proposal on the table.
Charmine’s eyes dulled at that; she never expected for Gloria to be that stubborn. Gloria doubted Charmine’s skills, and she did not trust that Charmine could fully resolve the issue. Of course, Gloria’s apprehension made sense. Just a single percentage of the situation being unresolved would damage Horizon Night badly.
Charmine’s eyes narrowed at the fact that the only course of action left was to terminate the contracts, but just as she was about to do so…
“Ms. Duncan, why the hurry? Surely we can talk things out?” A deep and magnetic voice rang in the air.
Everyone turned to see well-suited Julian entering the room.
Charmine frowned. What was Julian doing in her company?
Gloria, on the other hand, stood up from her seat and greeted, “Oh my, Julian! What brings you here?”
“I heard that Ms. Duncan is here, so it’s only natural that I have to drop by and say hi. Ms. Duncan is a busy woman, and you almost never have time to meet me.” Julian’s tone was warm and humorous.
Gloria giggled at that. “Look at you, brat, even flirting with me! I wouldn’t be where I am right now if it weren’t for you back then. I’m just busy with some small matters lately.”
There was a time when Gloria went hiking in the wild. She ran out of oxygen and almost died at the peak o f the mountain. Julian was her savior who gave her an oxygen tank and saved her life till she got better.
