She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 877

Even though Dominic had hit a brick wall at the Royce Group, he still had a sliver of hope.

That afternoon, he had a massive, multi-million dollar contract lined up to sign!

As long as he secured this deal and slapped the signed contract on Holden Lockridge's desk, Holden probably wouldn't give him too hard of a time.

After all, when one door closes, a window opens. He could always find another way to deal with the Royce Group later.

However, despite his optimistic planning, he was flat-out rejected at the door of Fortis Power & Cable.

"I'm Dominic Hale from the Lockridge Group. I already have an appointment with your sales manager!"

"Sorry, I wasn't notified."

The security guard at the gate had a terrible attitude and refused to let him in.

Dominic stood at the entrance of the Fortis Power & Cable building, relentlessly dialing the sales manager's number.

The calls wouldn't go through.

Pleading with the security guard proved completely useless as well.

Out of options, Dominic stood outside in the scorching heat and waited.

He waited for two agonizing hours, his throat dry as a bone.

Just as he felt he was about to turn into human jerky from the blazing sun, the sales manager finally appeared.

Dominic opened his mouth, ready to curse him out, but since this was a major client, he couldn't afford to offend him.

So, he forced down his rage and pasted on a friendly smile.

The sales manager, Manager Derek Thorne, was surprisingly polite. He sincerely apologized to Dominic and explained that he had been held up in a meeting with the boss.

As fellow corporate drones, Dominic naturally expressed his understanding.

The two of them walked into Derek's office.

Dominic's throat was practically on fire.

He saw Derek pour a glass of water, assumed it was for him, and instinctively reached out to take it.

Instead, Derek tipped his head back and drained the glass in one gulp.

And he didn't pour a second one.

Dominic felt incredibly awkward!

He was parched, furious, and yet couldn't snap.

Desperate to get the massive contract signed as quickly as possible, Dominic pulled out the finalized documents.
