Matthew then gave Sasha some advice to handle the crisis—he reminded her not to panic and calming down the existing customers should be her first priority. After that, Matthew left the company as he planned to seek direction and counsel from others.
As soon as he reached the lobby of the building, he spotted James and Helen from afar. Just as he tried to avoid them, to his dismay, the two were heading his way. “Matthew, stop right there!” Helen roared.
Matthew had no choice but to stop. “Mom, how can I help you?”
Helen nodded at him and yelled, “James has something to say to you!”
Matthew reassured him in a soft voice, “Dad, I’m trying to come up with a solution. Don’t worry. I’ll handle this well and I won’t make the company suffer any loss!”
Demi sneered and scoffed, “Pfft, I can see that you’re getting better and better at bragging! Did you say that you will handle the crisis? How are you going to do that? Don’t you know who’s behind the Pharmaceutical Union? It’s the Hughes, one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire! The family is so powerful and influential in Eastshire that even Billy Newman is not their match. Who can help you this time? That old lady from the Graham Family is nothing compared to the Hughes. In what way are you going to settle this?”
With a frown, Matthew responded, “Demi, there is a solution to every problem. Please don’t panic because I’m sure I can handle this!”
James waved his hands dismissively at him. “Stop boasting about something you can’t do! Matthew, this is what I want to discuss with you. I’m sure that you can’t handle this, so I have a solution which can save the company as well as Sasha out of this predicament. Now, it all depends on your willingness to go along with my plan!”
