Unscented-Chapter 1190 - 1132 Big Strike

For few days, Melissa action was the talk all over the internet. There was no website someone would visit without coming across the news.

While some believed she did a great job fishing out the bad entertainers and minimizing the loss of Murray’s company, some were still badmouthing her.

Melissa had been avoiding some public functions and online interview due to the backlash.

But this morning, she had summed up courage and was ready to reply any online journalists that were trolling her. Only journalists, not all netizens. She was sure her message would spread rapidly by that.

She logged on to a popular news website. Chad’s world, they were famous for subjective reporting.

She first surveyed the sites looking through comments. Like she expected, it was all. controversial.

"Melissa is a great woman. Only few men could do what she did. It takes courage, determination and selflessness to do that" a fairly old woman commented.

Melissa checked her profile. She looked corporate. She was surely experienced in such matters.

Melissa continued. She found another one.

"A wicked soul. She has destroyed people’s career and also made them pay fortunes. She is a devil" another comment lambasted her.

She ignored the comment and scrolled to the ’message to the editor’ icon.

She typed in.

"I have read all the articles you posted about what happened recently in Murray Entertainment Company. The news would have been so accurate except for the biasness of the reporter. He or she was only viewing the issue from the entertainers’ perspective. I want the story revised on this site. Failure to correct these biasness might attract legal activities against your website. I do not say you should praise my name. All I want is impartiality" she reread it before sending it.

She believed that would pass some positive message and bring about some impact.

Few days later, the investors that were still working with Murray company invited Melissa to a meeting.

Whenever she solved a problem, another one kept popping up. So she left for the meeting with a mindset that she was going there to find another messy problem.

At the meeting, the investors were not looking happy. They were angry and they couldn’t hide it.

Melissa knew it had something to do with the entertainers she exposed but she didn’t understand what made them annoyed.

"We have invited you to talk about the recent flushing out of entertainers in your company. We are very sad you did not carry us along when you made the decision" the spokesperson said.

Melissa smiled. There was no reason to carry them along. If they had dealings with the entertainer personally, then they would be responsible for their own loss and if they were dealing with the company, nothing would change.

"If I may ask, the faces I’m seeing here are those that are dealing directly with our company. Did any of you make a backdoor del with one of these entertainers?" she questioned.

"Are you trying to scold us or what?" the spokesperson asked as the other investors were clearly boiling with anger.

"I will, if you made backdoor deal with them without letting the company know" she replied confidently.

"For your information, we didn’t make any deal with any entertainer. We are dealing with the company" the spokesperson retorted.

"Then we don’t need to be seated in this meeting by the way" she chuckled. "Because the company is still alive" she inhaled air stylishly like she was enjoying the moment.

"Do you even understand this business at all?" one of the investors couldn’t keep quiet anymore.

"Mr. Ford, please keep calm and let me sort this out" the spokesperson calmed him down.

"Yes, I understand and know this business like the palm of my hand" she showed her palm to them

"Really?" the spokesperson smiled. "So why are we giving you our hard earned funds?" he questioned her

"You want promotion and recognition of your brands, isn’t it?" Melissa replied simply.

"Correct. But there are many entertainment company that can do that for us, why did we pick Murray entertainment?" he asked again.

Melissa was silent for some minutes.

"We are budget friendly. You have tested and trusted us" she quickly made it up.

"And now there is a problem. We want your audience. The audience wants those entertainers that you drove away. Now tell me, how will you get us these audiences" he surely had a lot of questions prepared for her.

"We are getting another batch of entertainers" Melissa said weakly. The investors were right but they would have to bear with them for this restructuring.

"How long should we wait, a week, a month, indefinite?" he was obviously not going to agree with her.

"Within a month" she nodded.

"So you want us to lose market for a month. We are giving you a week to turn this around" he said harshly.

"A week is small to turn this situation around" she moaned

"It isn’t if you call those entertainers back" he said and stood up while the others joined him.

There was no way Melissa would call those entertainers back but also the company couldn’t afford to lose these investors.

"These entertainers have spoiled their reputations and that is bad for business" she said loudly.

"The reputation will still be intact if you didn’t expose them" the spokesperson replied her.

Melissa remembered she was not the first to expose these entertainers. She remembered she wanted to find the whistle blowers in the company.

Later in her office, she received a guest.

"Hi, I’m Detective Jandor" he greeted her.

"You can have your seat" she welcomed him. "How may I help you?" she asked nicely.

"Actually, I’m here to help you. I have discovered those that were responsible for your problem in this company. By problem, I mean how your company is at the brink of collapsing" he explained to her.

"You mean we are not just affected by the new government policy?" she couldn’t believe it.

"You are affected by that and a competitor" he opened a file for her to see.

Melissa was shocked to see the name of the company responsible for their ordeal.

She covered her mouth with her hand.
