Indeed, events unfolded exactly as I predicted. Although James’s new company launched with great fanfare, even hosting a g opening ceremony, very few businesses were interested in working with him.
At first, some smaller projects approached him out of respect for the Cooper name, hoping to discuss partnerships.
But James looked down on them completely, even publicly humiliating these companies.
“You can’t even present a decent investment amount, yet you think you’re worthy of discussing cooperation with me?”
Word spread quickly, and soon James’s company found itself completely ignored.
The atmosphere in his office had practically frozen over.
Michelle had initially enjoyed flaunting her status through him, but seeing no income day after day, she too began to panic.
“James, what if we start with some smaller projects? Even if they’re tiny, as long as there’s some revenue…”
Michelle carefully chose her words, but before she could finish, James cut her off with a dark expression.
“Michelle, do you think I’m going to fail? Have even you lost faith in me?”
Michelle felt a chill run through her body as he stared at her with bloodshot eyes, and she stammered, not daring to say more.
