Chapter 626: Our Cooperation Can Be Terminated
They had long heard about Harrison Thomson's fearsome reputation.
A leader with an iron fist.
A single glance from him was enough to make one's heart race.
His aura was overwhelmingly powerful, not something ordinary people could withstand.
But previously, they hadn't had much direct contact with Harrison.
This time, they truly witnessed how intimidating Harrison could be.
Managing to stay on their feet after that meeting was already quite an achievement.
But there was nothing to be done.
Who told them they had messed up this time? It even required Harrison to personally step in and handle the situation.
Harrison walked straight ahead towards the office prepared for him at the branch.
A young assistant approached him.
Looking at the man before her, she felt both respect and trepidation. It took effort to steady her nerves before she spoke. "Mr. Thomson, a guest has arrived and is waiting for you in the reception room."
After saying this, her heart pounded wildly.
It was the simplest sentence, yet she kept replaying it in her mind.
Had she misspoken any word?
She had heard before that there was a Miss Hensley back in Orianto who had been by Mr.
Thomson's side for over five years.
She truly admired that Miss Hensley.
She really wanted to learn from her-how did she work every day facing someone like Mr.
Thomson? Harrison asked indifferently, "Which guest?"
"Miss Carter."
Hanna Carter? Why was she here?
Harrison said nothing more and walked towards the reception room.
In the reception room, Hanna Carter picked up the steaming cup of black tea before her and took a small sip.
It seemed a bit too sweet for her taste.
She frowned slightly and put the cup down.
To be honest, having grown up this much, she had never been this proactive towards any mạn before.
But this time, the other party was, after all, a top-tier man like Harrison Thomson. Taking the initiative once wasn't unacceptable.
If she strictly followed the cooperation procedures, it would take her several more days to see Harrison.
She didn't want to wait.
The door to the reception room was pushed open.
Seeing the handsome, distinguished man walk in, a smile curled at the corner of Hanna's lips.
"Mr. Thomson."
Harrison gave a slight nod and sat down opposite Hanna.
"Miss Carter, what can I do for you?"
Currently, their two companies were cooperating.
Since Hanna had visited unexpectedly, Harrison naturally assumed she was here for business matters.
"Nothing major, really." Hanna smiled and said, "! just thought that you and I could have a more... in-depth discussion and exchange regarding this cooperation. What do you think, Mr. Thomson?"
Hanna spoke without a trace of blush or fluster.
The young assistant who had followed Harrison in felt her heart leap into her throat.
Miss Carter's words were far too bold.
Such heavily suggestive language, and she actually said it directly to Mr. Thomson's face!
But then again, a woman like Miss Carter-beautiful, from a good family, and capable being confident and assertive was normal.
She probably could catch Mr. Thomson's eye, right?
Thinking this, the assistant stole a glance at Harrison.
But upon seeing Harrison's expression, she shivered in fear.
At that moment, Harrison's gaze was as cold as ice, his face dark enough to drip water.
Even Hanna couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Was Harrison angry? Surely not over this...?
"Miss Carter, I believe our cooperation can be terminated."
Harrison's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Hanna's heart jolt.
Watching Harrison stand up, ready to leave, she quickly rose as well and questioned angrily, "Mr. Thomson, what do you mean by this? Our contract has already been signed..."
"The Thomson Group will compensate according to the contract terms," Harrison said coldly.
This supply chain was indeed not something to be taken lightly, but the Thomson family wasn't lacking in potential partners.
Since Harrison dared to make this decision, he had the ability to fill any gaps.
He did not need a business partner who harbored ulterior motives towards him.
He didn't care what Hanna's true intentions were, but since she had said such words, it indicated she had those kinds of thoughts.
"Mr. Thomson!"
Hanna quickened her pace, directly running in front of Harrison to block his way.
At this moment, even she, who always felt in control, was somewhat panicked.
"Is this really necessary?" she said, feigning calm.
"I was just joking. And you want to terminate the cooperation over that? This will mean losses for both our companies."
She truly didn't understand.
She was merely showing favor to Harrison.
And it would just be a casual fling. Once the cooperation ended, she wouldn't cling to him.
They'd part ways after having their fun.
If Harrison wasn't willing, he could just refuse.
Why abandon the entire cooperation?
"It seems Miss Carter's mind isn't truly focused on business," Harrison said coldly.
"In that case, cutting losses early is what benefits both parties."
Hanna stared at him in shock.
Harrison was serious!
"Specialists will discuss the details of terminating the cooperation with you. Miss Carter, please step aside."
Please step aside.
Three simple words, yet they carried extraordinary pressure.
Hanna didn't want to move, but her legs, beyond her control, trembled as they made way for Harrison.
Harrison left immediately.
The young assistant followed behind him, heart pounding.
As she passed Hanna, she gave her a complex look.
Miss Carter, who had been all charm and allure just moments ago, now looked pale, her gaze towards Harrison filled with shock and fear.
After Harrison entered his office, the assistant couldn't help but tell a few close colleagues what had just happened.
One colleague said, "Miss Carter, really...
Discuss business properly. Why have impure thoughts about our Mr. Thomson?"
Another said, "Can't blame Miss Carter. A man as handsome and impressive as Mr. Thomson, who wouldn't be tempted?"
"Being tempted is useless! Mr. Thomson already has a girlfriend. Isn't Miss Carter just being a nuisance?"
The assistant quickly asked, "Mr. Thomson has a girlfriend?"
"Yes! So you didn't know! It's that Miss Hensley from Orianto. She and Mr. Thomson have been together for a while now."
The assistant understood.
So the Miss Hensley she admired was Harrison Thomson's girlfriend!
Soon, several senior executives at the branch learned about Harrison's decision to cancel the cooperation.
Although they also hadn't expected such a sudden turn of events, no one dared to oppose Harrison's decision. They could only quickly go and discuss the relevant matters with Hanna.
"Since our side is proposing to cancel the cooperation, we will provide full compensation according to the contract terms..."
"On what grounds?!" Hanna was both humiliated and furious. "He, Harrison Thomson, says cancel, so it's canceled? What does he take me for?"
She had never suffered such humiliation before!
The senior executives looked at each other.
One of them, who had some acquaintance with Hanna, asked helplessly, "What on earth did you say to Mr. Thomson today to anger him like this?"
