Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 692

Jordan had thought of Carlisle as just another arrogant rich kid, with Selena acting as a watchdog for Carlisle's parents. He was surprised that Selena hadn't stepped in to defuse the situation.

Selena sipped her wine gracefully before smiling softly.

"Our company is considering a move into advertising. I think Creative Advertising could be a valuable stepping stone for us."

"W-wait, are you..."

Jordan was on the verge of a breakdown. He had hoped that Selena would mediate rather than escalate the situation.

Carlisle stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Even prestigious brands like Hermès advertise on Alumni Network. If we start an advertising company, our internet exposure could give us a solid foothold in the industry."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zahn. I spoke too much. Please, go easy on me..."

Jordan's face had paled as he clasped his hands in desperation.

Alumni Network had an undeniable reach, and their collaboration with Hermès was real. If Aurora Holdings truly entered the advertising industry, it wouldn't just carve out a niche- it'd likely dominate the Riverland market.

With Creative Advertising's prospects looking bleak, the emergence of a formidable competitor could lead to significant losses for the company in 2005.

"I admired your enthusiasm before, Mr. Holman, but now you're rather disappointing."

Carlisle smiled indifferently.

Jordan's face flushed with embarrassment as he pleaded, "Mr. Zahn, I'll do whatever you say. Just please, spare me..."

Carlisle sighed.

"You should be grateful that my mother has a close friend in your company."

"Who... Who is she?"

Jordan understood now why Carlisle was targeting him. He suspected that it was probably because Carlisle had learned about his mistreatment of employees from his mother's friend.

Carlisle's lips curled into a smirk.]

"Are you going to fire her? It works for me. After all, we need people in our company."

"N-no, absolutely not! I'll promote her immediately and treat her like royalty!"

Jordan shook his head.

"Her name is Sabrina Welter!"

Carlisle named Sabrina's position. Sabrina was the head of planning at Creative Advertising.

In his previous life, Carlisle's mother had gone to great lengths to secure Sabrina's help. When Carlisle was introduced to the company, Sabrina treated him like a stranger. She even

told him not to mention their connection to others.

Securing a white-collar job was quite an accomplishment in those days. It was certainly better than working on an assembly line with only a middle school education, like many of his peers from his hometown.

During the holidays, the villagers praised him as the most successful young man in the village. He would be considered the best if it weren't for his cousins.

Carlisle felt a deep sense of gratitude to Sabrina. In his previous life, he had given her many gifts during the holidays as a token of appreciation.

Now, in this new life, he wanted to repay her by securing a promotion for her at Creative Advertising. It was his way of honoring the rare friendship between her and his mother. "Sabrina... She's the head of the planning department. I'm promoting her to Director of Planning tomorrow!" Jordan said, his face pale with fear.

Carlisle gave Jordan a knowing look.

"Money isn't everything. Stop exploiting your employees. If you continue to push them too hard, your few remaining customers may go elsewhere."

In his previous life, Carlisle had discussed the possibility of jumping ship with some colleagues. They had planned to take clients with them to other agencies, which would have guaranteed high salaries. However, when some colleagues thought it was unethical, they abandoned the plan.

"Yes, Mr. Zahn. You're absolutely right. I will definitely change."noveldrama

Jordan nodded vigorously.

Carlisle turned to Selena.

"Let's hold off on the advertising market for now. With Alumni Network's visibility, breaking into the market will be a breeze."

"Whatever you say, Mr. Zahn!"

Selena nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Zahn. I... I have to step away for a moment," Jordan said, obviously relieved.

He quickly went to the bathroom, eager to escape Carlisle's presence.

"Mr. York."

Carlisle suddenly turned to Bob.

"M-Mr. Zahn."
