Chapter 1397 Trouble In Hayes Corporation
After hearing the news, Sasha even went to the office to look for her.
“Sab, why did your brother ask you to come? Why isn’t he back himself?”
“Huh? What a weird question from you, Sasha. Why are you asking me instead of your husband?”
Sabrina was livid when she heard the question from her sister-in-law.
Her words rendered Sasha speechless.
Isn’t it obvious?
Why would I come to you if I can pry the real reason out of that man’s mouth?
Nevertheless, Sasha did not say that out loud.
For the next few days, there was no bad news from the island. Every time she called, she would be informed that Ian had recovered. Sebastian would even send her videos as proof.
Thus, she was relieved.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Ichika: Good news, everyone! My husband has undergone his second hypnosis session, and he’s fine.
Early in the morning, someone with a cartoon image as their profile picture sent a message to the family chat.
Immediately, the others responded.
Rufus: That’s great news. I’ve heard that in similar cases, they’ll be fine after the hypnosis session.
Sasha: Yes. Most of the time, the patient is very afraid of getting hypnotized because, during the hypnosis, they’ll see the moment of their trauma. They can’t move past it sometimes.
Devin: In that case, this is fantastic news!
Sabrina: D*mn! Then when will he be coming back? I can’t stand it anymore. The sales report for this f*cking week went down by five percent again. What in the world is going on?
In seconds, the woman started complaining about the company.
Sebastian did not participate in the chat—he was most likely taking care of the child.
Solomon, on the other hand, immediately made an appearance upon reading the messages.
Solomon: Send me the file.
Since they were all a family, Sabrina then uploaded the file to the family chat.
Solomon, who was still in the ward, immediately accepted the file and began reading through the pages carefully.
Right as his mind registered the letters on the pages, he scowled.
Ichika was pouring him a glass of milk when she spotted his dark expression. Immediately, she walked over and asked in concern, “What’s the matter, Darling? Did something go wrong in the company?”
Solomon’s brows furrowed. “It’s decreasing like Sabrina said.”
Huh?
Ichika’s eyes widened.
If it’s dropping, does that mean there’s an issue with Hayes Corporation’s products? Another possibility is that the competition is too strong.
Ichika was talented in finance as well, so she instantly thought of a few possibilities for why things might have gone wrong.
However, just as she clicked into the sales reports in the WhatsApp group, those thoughts of her dissipated.
“Darling, this… All the company’s projects’ figures are going down. This isn’t a problem with the company; it’s more like—”
“External shock in the market. Bring me my laptop. I’d like to have a look at the stock market.”
Pessimistic thoughts were already forming in Solomon’s mind as he instructed Ichika to bring him his laptop.
Quickly, Ichika went off, and she was back soon with her husband’s laptop.
External shock in the market.
Indeed, anyone who was in their line of work would understand the figures in an instant.
Sasha, too, understood what the data meant. Therefore, when she realized that Sebastian had not responded to the messages, she called him.
“Hello? Darling.”
The second the call went through, Sebastian’s familiar lazy voice traveled out of the speakers.
For a moment, Sasha did not know whether to laugh or be mad at him.
“What are you doing now? Why didn’t you look at the messages in the group chat?”
“Hmm?”
Sebastian, who was fishing with his son on the island, quickly pulled his phone away from his ear to look at the screen.
“I’m fishing with Ian. What’s the matter?”
Sasha took in a deep breath at that.
This guy!
Thank god he didn’t say this in the group chat, or else they’d have yelled at him.
“Sab sent some sales reports from the company earlier, saying that our profits this week have dropped another five percent. I clicked in to have a look at it earlier, and it seems like trouble. It looks like it’s getting affected by the international economy.”
“The international economy?”
Sebastian narrowed his eyes.
Finally, he put down his phone and clicked into the report before letting his eyes run across the figures.
“I’ve checked Wall Street, and as it turns out, the shares of many major companies have been dropping as well. It’s a terrible sign.”
Sebastian did not answer her as he continued to look at the report.
Two minutes later, he finally said, “A war is coming.”
“What?” Sasha was taken aback by his words. “What do you mean?”
“Do you still remember the time when you were working for Andy at Wall Street? He once sent you to a business meeting in some country where the two clients are fuel tycoons,” he mentioned abruptly.
Sasha tilted her head and thought about it. “As a matter of fact, I do. I still remember that the fuel tycoon was exceptionally generous. He didn’t waste any time signing a business deal with me. But we nearly died there back then.”
