My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1177

Meanwhile, Nash left his other hand in his pocket as they shook hands.

Zachariah immediately deduced that Nash was the one helping Melody out.

Melody beckoned. “I’ve made reservations for a private room. This way, please, Mr. Dune…”

Zachariah was a composed man. Despite knowing there was a man who was on good terms with the governor-general present, he still managed to keep his cool.

He chuckled as he said, “So, you’ve started addressing me as ‘Mr. Dune’ as well, eh, Melody? Your father and I used to be good friends. You can address me as Uncle Zachariah if you prefer that!”

Melody smiled slightly as she nodded. “This way, please, Uncle Zachariah…”

A smile materialized on Zachariah’s face as he walked ahead of them.

Nash walked calmly beside Melody.

They gathered in the first private room on the third floor of the Empire Hotel.

Wine and food were soon brought to their table.

Melody and Zachariah both had a glass of wine after exchanging pleasantries.

Zachariah cut straight to the chase after everyone had taken their seats. “Melody, I’m sure you’ve heard that the Eves had a mass layoff just this afternoon?”

Melody nodded. “The Eves laid off 3,800 employees today!”

A gloomy look appeared on Zachariah’s face. “They're doing this to put pressure on the government. After all, the Eves play a massive part in the local economy. Both the political and business spheres will go up in flames if they collapse without warning!”

He had witnessed the Snyder family rise to the top and then become replaced by the Eves during his time serving.

The business world was like a battlefield, and change occurred every day at every moment.

He was not worried about whether these families prospered or declined. Rather, he was worried about how that would affect the people and their communities.

If a family’s fortune began declining, several other families would stick their fingers into that slice of pie and slowly take over the businesses they once owned. It would not influence the employees who worked the production line.

However, Melody had been merciless in her attack on the Eves.
