Unscented-Chapter 1019 - 961 compromise
""Your company owes us an explanation.You can’t let go of the person responsible for the death of our family member that easily.
Do you think that you will give us that little amount of money and we will zip up our mouths?
Just take the responsibility already."
Hearing what they said,they didn’t go forward and blocked the bodyguards.
"We paid them some amount of money back then.Everything was fine but then some of his family members are so greedy that they are creating a fuss now."Renita explained the whole situation to Melissa.
"Calm down!I request you to listen to me first and then decide for yourself."Melissa was speaking when one of them interrupted her in the middle.
"Who are you and why should we listen to you?"They started yelling.
"I am Melissa,the CEO of this company.Let’s discuss and talk about this in the meeting room?"She said in a questioning tone.
Listening to her,Renita slipped at her side and whispered,"What exactly are you trying to do?How can you ask them to come into the meeting room?They will definitely make more demands."
She was literally pulling her clothes.Meanwhile Melissa’s eyes were fixed at them and she stepped to the other side while ignoring Renita’s words.
"Fine!!It’s you that’s why we are ready to talk."They said and moved towards the meeting room.
"Just do as I say."Melissa instructed Renita who bowed her head down.
After a while she asked some security guards to guard the meeting room in case of any uncertain event.
However,the anger of the family members did not subside.They were fuming in anger.On top of that one of them broke the silence,"How come your attitude towards us changes today?"
Melissa was listening to every word.Although she was losing her calm,she maintained her composure well.
Before saying anything she poured them a glass of water.
Renita was beside her all this while.
"I can understand how you feel when you lose your family.It’s like the sky collapsed for you.To be very honest,I lost both of my parents recently and I can understand that the volcano of emotions is blazing inside you.
But before we start I want you to tell me what exactly do you want?"
Melissa encouraged them to tell her their real intentions so that it will be easy to deal with them.
Several family members discussed.One of the women stretched out her hand and flipped it left and right,representing 16 thousand dollars.Meanwhile Melissa looked at them and said nothing.
"You can think and discuss it again.I am still here."Melissa gave them more time so that she could think of a better way to deal with them.
After a while,one of them stood up and said,"We have come to an agreement.I am not going to run behind the bush so directly tell you our decision."
"What is it?"Renita asked but Melissa glared at her so she stopped talking.
"I am listening,"Melissa gently asked them.
"It was not a mere accident but a well planned murder.You and us both know that very well.It was done by one of the relatives of top management.
So we have a solution.Just give us 16 thousand dollars and we promise you that we will not make a scene out of it."He clearly told her.
Hearing that,Renita pounded the table and shouted angrily,"You are literally asking us such a huge amount.On top of that,you dare to threaten us.
The company has already given you three thousand dollars and now you want us to pay you 16 thousand dollars more.Shame on you to trade on the name of your dead family member.Moreover,the person who died is not worthy of such a huge amount."
As soon as these words came out from Renita’s mouth,the family members started creating a scene over there.
"Your boss wanted to negotiate with us.Not the other way around,she asked for our intentions and when we told her then you were yelling at us.
If you had so much problem to deal with this matter then let us continue what we were doing earlier."
The family members had already believed that Melissa would compromise,so they tried again and again to test Melissa’s bottom line.
"Stop talking now."Melissa held her hand tightly to maintain her calmness.
"Well!!I am already aware of the whole situation.I don’t have enough evidence to prove that it was done by Claire.So our company has to bear the consequences.
Anyways!Let’s negotiate.What do you think?"Melissa raised her left eyebrow and asked them.
The family members trusted Melissa very much.
"We would like to hear from you.What are you offering us?"They asked.
"I think your family has both old and young people.But after losing the only earning pillar,it might be difficult for you to meet the basic ends of life.
So how about you sell your house here and live in the countryside.Trust me,I will give an amount of money to buy a property there.There you will get to live a better life."Melissa gave them the best offer.
The only source of income in their family was no more.None of them could take care of the expenses.No matter how much money Melissa would give to them,it would not be enough for them as the standard of living in that city was really high.
So Melissa thought it would be better for them to go back to their hometown and live a happy and comfortable life.
Several family members were discussing.Melissa called out Renita.
"Inform the financial department to prepare 50000 dollars later.In addition,buy a big car and a few things that will help them on a daily basis.I heard that the driver’s van isn’t in a good condition now.
Do one thing,get that van repaired and send it back to the countryside safely.In addition,send them all the things which they want."Melissa told everything to Renita.
Only Melissa was capable of shutting them off.
""Isn’t it too easy for you to say?They don’t deserve anything."Renita said in a slow tone,inaudible to them.
She didn’t want to give them a penny even though she knew that they could stoop much lower to her expectations.
"The less trouble the better.We can’t let these rumors go on like this.It’s not good for the reputation of Claire"Melissa half heartedly said.
Even though she wasn’t on good terms with Murray right now.But eventually he will come back to her and they are still a family.So she always has to consider his reputation.
"You are such a good sister-in-law.But they don’t deserve your kindness,"Renita was a little envious of Claire Gibson. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Not for myself,but for the Gibson family."
Melissa knew that once the rumor spread,it would also be a blow to the business of Murray.
On top of that it would create problems in her personal life and at the same time it would also affect the overall operation of his company.
And Melissa was never going to trouble Murray,no matter what.
Besides,she had an indescribable relationship with Claire.Although she never liked her,she never wanted her to be the part of every second person’s gossip.
The two of them walked back to the meeting room,and several family members had already discussed it.
"We’ve already discussed it.We’ll accept whatever you said but you have to pay the amount which we have told you earlier."
Melissa knew that it was not easy to oversmart these people,so she reached out her hand and told them that she had given them a total of fifty thousand dollars.
Hearing this,the family members stood up immediately from their seats and shouted in an annoyed voice,"Our family member had died,the only source of income of our family.We told you 16 thousand dollars,and you negotiated it to fifty thousand.
And you are also expecting us to live in the countryside with this amount.You really abuse your power,we must say."
"This is already a lot of money for you,and I will also give you a land property.This is more than enough.I think you know it clearly,right?"
Melissa made it clear to them in case they would get into trouble.
Hearing this,the family members fell silent again.After discussion,they agreed to negotiate..
Melissa winked at Renita."I’ll ask him to go with you to pack up and send you back to the countryside with the safety belt."
Melissa gave a victory smile to Renita.As Melissa was nice to the family members throughout the deal,and never argued so they were happy to deal with her.
Soon after that Renita led them out of the office,Melissa went to her cabin and looked through the company’s website.
She found out that whatever happened in the company lately wasn’t spread much,and it was limited to certain sections.
