From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 207

Sam recognized York the moment he walked in. They’d met before at The Austin Family’s place, so Sam got up and casually slung an arm around York’s shoulders, like they were old friends.

“What brings you here? And who are these two with you?”

“I’m here on behalf of FarrVector,” York replied, his voice easy. “Name’s York. These are Kane from Projects and Klein from Tech. I heard Edison and Orville waited at our office all day. Sorry about that. Since I found out late, I brought two of our top people with me. Thought maybe this would be a good time to talk about working together.”

York had already done his homework on these companies before he came over. Both were at the top of their industries, with The Lane Family backing them. In Cabinda, that meant real power.

Getting them on board would be huge for FarrVector and the perfect way to get a foot in the door in Cabinda.

But as soon as Edison and Orville realized York was the boss, their interest in working together faded fast.

They leaned back in their chairs, looking every bit the spoiled rich boys, and their voices were lazy, almost bored.

“Honestly, we’re not that into the idea anymore.”

York didn’t react, but Harrell’s eyes flickered with confusion. Just a minute ago, these two were plotting how to get in with FarrVector. Why the sudden shift?

He knew Adolphus was the reason FarrVector’s team showed up with such sincerity. Now their attitude just felt like a slap to Adolphus’s face.

Harrell hesitated, then tried to smooth things over. “Didn’t you both wait at FarrVector all day? Doesn’t really seem like you’re uninterested. Maybe the wait got on your nerves? FarrVector has a lot of people wanting to work with them, it’s normal. The boss is here now, so why not at least talk?”

He shot Edison and Orville a look, hoping they’d take the hint and not push things too far.

“No, we just don’t want to work together anymore. Is that so hard to believe?” Edison said, his eyes cold as he stared at York. Everyone in the room could tell something was off, even York, but he had no clue what he’d done to upset these Cabinda heirs.
