Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 346

Emilia didn’t dwell on it; she kept eating her dinner, occasionally reminiscing about childhood memories or discussing Bella’s upcoming surgery.

Meanwhile, Tyler sat in his office with his eyes closed, trying to rest, though his stomach ached from stress.

Outside the executive suite, Secretary Jensen finished off two meals and let out a satisfied belch.

…

The day slipped by in a blur.

By the time the stock market closed, there had been no further scandals involving The Erickson Group. The day, tumultuous as it was, ended in uneasy calm.

Though The Erickson Group’s numbers were still in the red, overall, the outlook wasn’t entirely bleak. After all, everyone agreed on one thing: The Erickson Group had real, tangible technology. That was their true strength.

Once this wave of trouble passed, as long as nothing major happened, the stock would slowly bounce back. Plus, with new product launches on the horizon—never half-hearted affairs for the Erickson Group—there was every chance for another surge in share prices.

Later, Secretary Jensen accompanied Vivienne for a thorough audit, and only after confirming she hadn’t bought any company stock did Tyler feel the slightest bit of relief.

Even though the company announced that Vivienne’s livestream hadn’t been authorized, few believed it, given all the rumors about Tyler and Vivienne. The Erickson Group quickly earned a reputation in the industry for being lowbrow.

And on top of it all, Emilia’s face kept flashing through his mind.

Tyler felt like his head was about to explode.

It didn’t help that the elder Ericksons showed up at the office in a fury, Parker storming in and giving Tyler a couple of whacks with his cane.

“Take a look at what your precious Vivienne has done!”

“Emily worked here for seven years without a single blunder. In fact, she solved countless problems over the years. Your Vivienne hasn’t even set foot in The Erickson Group and she’s already caused this mess—this scandal!”

“All my old friends called me today, asking if I’d finally lost my mind.”
