As a new day began, Sidra was getting ready to leave for work when the phone rang.
She grabbed it, seeing who it was. It was Phoebe, her assistant. She opened the speakerphone as she put the finishing touches on her outfit.
"What's wrong Phoebe? Did something happen?" said Sidra with some concern.
The other's voice rang out:
The launch date for the new line of cars has been set, but there's been a hiccup.
Sidra grabbed the phone and held it to her ear intently, and said:
"What happened?"
The company responsible for the launch no longer wants to do business with us, and this is going to put us in big trouble.
I don't know what happened, I received an email from them this morning telling me that they canceled the contract with us due to some breach of contract on our part.
I don't know what happened.
Sidra sat down, sweating.
When is the launch date?
is two weeks from now.
Well, review the terms of the contract and try to figure out what happened, and I'll look into it.
I hung up, then pressed a few numbers. Marcel's voice on the other end rang out sleepily, saying:
"What's the matter, Sidra? I told you not to bother me in the morning!
She answered quickly:
Big disaster, watch out for her!
Marcel quickly straightened up and said:
What happened?
I don't really know what's going on, but a contract we have with another company to launch the new product has been canceled, but they are telling us that we violated the terms of the contract. The launch is in two weeks, I want you to see if there's any breach in our hardware. There could be a leak of information. I'll go to the company, but before I get there, you need to find the issue. Okay?
Okay, I will.
She hung up the phone and ran outside. She got into her car and drove off.
Inside Marcelle's apartment, he quickly grabbed his device and pressed a few buttons. It took him an hour.
He found it!
He rang Sidra saying:
"Your designs have been leaked to A.G.
What?" Sidra shouted angrily. How did this happen?
answered her: An engineer named Lux did it.
Sidra unleashed a barrage of curses and insults at the bastard, threatening him. She pulled over to the side of the road, trying to calm down and think of a solution. And she said:
What to do now? I can't come up with a solution. I never thought this would happen to us.
Marcelle spoke softly:
You have to talk to them to get a settlement. As for the project, unfortunately, if you don't want to lose out, you'd better ask for their cooperation, especially since they've already implemented the product in their factories and are getting ready to launch in a week's time.
Her eyes widened in shock and her hands shook. She hung up the phone, then screamed as she saw her dreams being mercilessly destroyed before her eyes. After she finished her bout of screaming, she started crying loudly. She stayed like that for several hours.
She drove back to the A.G. group. She went inside, seething, but trying to draw a picture of inertia. But the swellings in her eyelids tell you that she cried for a long time. She asked to see Elias, but he wasn't there, so she went to see Albert.
She walked in with confident steps. He held out his hand to greet her, but she ignored it and sat tall, putting one foot in front of the other, and said sharply:
I heard what happened from you.
Albert played dumb and said:
What happened?
She smiled slyly at him and said:
You stole the blueprints for the new project.
He replied coldly:
I don't know what you're talking about. A.G. has been around for years and is known for its integrity. Why would we do that to a startup like you?"
She spoke arrogantly:
That startup has reached in a few years what you have not reached in decades.
Albert smiled and said:
What do you want?"
She stood up and prepared to walk out, saying with confidence and a smile:
The blueprints you received are not the real thing, and they are full of flaws. Good luck with the new launch.
Albert's smile disappeared from his face. Sidra walked out with strength and confidence, smiling slyly. What she did now would give her time to make some adjustments and take legal action.
Albert grabbed the phone and spoke to the secretary to call the engineers for an urgent meeting.
As Sidra walked out of the company, Elias spotted her. He kept looking at her, his eyes following every curve of her body. She excites him with her charms, her walk, her confidence, and the aura around her draws him to her like a magnet.
She got into her car and drove off to the company. She had already planned her next steps.
Her assistant spoke:
Phoebe, I want you to call an urgent meeting of the managers and engineers of the company.
Yes, ma'am.
Everyone was on high alert.
Sidra finally arrived, and the tension was palpable. She entered the meeting room steadily, her eyes scanning everyone with a sharp gaze, making them feel nervous.
She sat quietly without saying a word, her eyes moving from one person to another, as if she was watching them closely.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, saying: "Who leaked our information to the A.G.?" She asked simply, as if to say, "What's up?"
Whispers spread through the room, each one seeming surprised at what they had heard.
She remained silent, then added confidently: "Well, I know him."
There was silence in the room. Her eyes were watching everyone carefully, like a hunter waiting for the right moment to pounce on his prey.
Some were nervous, but they didn't dare to speak.
Then she said, "Whoever did this, let legal affairs get ready, they will contact them. With a confident smile, she added: "He will spend the rest of his life in prison, or Elias will finish him off."
She finished her words and then gestured with her hand for them to leave, saying coldly: "So no one has the right to attribute these schemes to him. I patented them before we started implementing them."
Everyone walked out of the room, each of them worried about what Sidra had said.
