James Reed felt a surge of frustration, so intense it made his vision go dark. Was this Jim Perry pretending to be clueless?
"Mr. Perry, I think your company should reconsider this partnership choice. Seymour Corporation is undoubtedly your best option." James Reed tried his best to remain rational, holding back from falling out with Jim Perry for the time being.
"This is the company's decision, and I personally have no way to intervene," Jim Perry showed no leniency, which made James Reed clench his teeth hard enough for them to make a grinding noise.
"Mr. Perry, are you really unwilling to help?" James Reed asked one final time, a note of warning in his voice.
"Mr. Reed, you're being unreasonable." Jim Perry's voice began to cool, and it was clear that he was also getting angry.
