When Josh passed me the suppliers’ payment reminders the following day, I secretly got Carol to select a few representatives from the companies on the list and match them with the collected information.

Then, I told Josh to notify all suppliers of a response meeting at Tanum Corporation next Monday.

Josh seemed puzzled. "Ms. Chloe, what's your plan for the meeting?"

I noticed his eagerness and asked smilingly, “Mr. Josh, what do you think would be the best way to resolve this situation?”

He chuckled, not entirely understanding my intentions. "Ms. Chloe, I'm not sure I follow. You're being quite mysterious."

"Haha!" I laughed heartily. "As if you've ever understood me!"

He joined in the laughter. "That’s true!"

"I've got you figured out," I teased him.

He blinked, appearing a bit nervous.

“Don’t worry, get back to work. I have ideas you can trust,” I reassured and dismissed Josh from my office.

Although reluctant, he realized I didn’t care to continue the discussion and left.
