Greenlee had called Erica to come over to Fusion, because she wanted to get some advice from her. She had never seen eye to eye with her, about almost nothing, but when it came down to business stuff, she knew Erica was an expert. While she was waiting, she was looking over some paperwork. Everyone else was out on lunch break, which left her to finish up some stuff in quiet before Erica arrived. She signed a few papers, and then heard the elevators opened, as she watched Erica walk in. She then stood up. "Thank you for coming so quickly, Erica." she said as she looked over to her, and walked from behind her desk, and infront of Erica.
"I need your help on something, and you are the only one, who can help me with it.." she said, as she crossed her arms, and looked to Erica.

Erica got a call from Greenlee, wanting to meet with her, & smiled. Of course the two had the occasional cat fight, but ever since she married Jackson, their relationship had strengthened. When she met Colton for the first time, Erica knew that Greenlee accepted her as part of the family, & certainly, Erica accepted her step-daughter.
She walked into Fusion with that on her mind & saw Greenlee when she walked in. "Okay... what is it you need help with? Marketing? Sampling? Of course I am more than willing to help you out with anything," she told her with a nod, glad that Greenlee had called her.

"What I need help with is much bigger than sampling, or marketing. I need your help to save this company from ruin, Erica." she said as she picked up a few papers and handed them to her. "Over the past few months, we have hardly brought in any money. Noone is buying our products Erica, and before you even ask me this, Kendall doesn't know Im talking with you, and she doesn't know how bad this is. We could lose our company, Erica..and I am just at a loss on what to do" she said as she then leaned back against her desk.
"So, that is why I called you. If anyone could save this company Erica, it is you..and I need you" she said as she then looked up to her step-mother.

Erica looked at Greenlee carefully. "Wait... why haven't you told Kendall about this? She needs to know, Greenlee," she said, hoping her daughter wouldn't be upset that she found out before Kendall did.
She then nodded at her step-daughter. "I will help you, though, you don't have to worry about that. I will get the budget together, get the past few months' selling history & we will take a look at it, okay? I just need to borrow a computer, & I need you to explain to me why you haven't told you sister," she explained.

"I know she needs to know Erica, but its kinda hard to keep her in the loop when I never see her" Greenlee said as she tried to explain to her stepmother, that she hadn't seen Kendall around for awhile. "Believe me, once I see her, I will tell her, but maybe this company can turn around if you help us" she said as she then sat back down at her desk, and turned on the laptop computer, and then typed in the password. She then turned it around so Erica could do what she needed to do. "Here, all the Fusion files are right here" she said pointing, as she then looked up to Erica.
"I just want to know if Fusion has a chance at staying alive, because I would hate to see mine and Kendall's creation go under.." she said as she then looked down.

Erica looked at Greenlee softly. "I'm sorry... I guess I thought you meant you didn't want to tell her. I won't talk to her about this until after you do, though, alright?" she promised, sitting down to look at the screen.
She printed everything out that she needed & walked back over to the desk, already looking over the numbers, wondering why nothing was adding up. The sales hadn't really dropped, but it seemed the prices had. "Have you changed the prices in the last six months at all, Greenlee? I'm talking discounts, clearance, even raising them..." she asked, lifting her eyes to meet Greenlee's.

"No, I haven't" she said as she then stood up and walked around the desk to see what Erica was looking at. "Oh my...this can't be happening. I haven't changed the prices at all. I mean, I have thought about it, but I never went through with it. Why would someone change the prices without even telling me, and more importantly, who would change the prices without even telling me or Kendall?" she asked, as she then placed her hand on her hips, and looked over to Erica.
"This is a nightmare..Their is someone in this company that I cannot trust, and I don't know who it is.."she said as she let out a huge breathe, as she walked over to the table that held the pitcher of water, and poured her a glass. She then took her a sip, and turned to look at Erica.
"Who do you think it is, Erica?" she asked, as she perked her eyebrow to her step-mother. Who would go behind mine and Kendall's back like this?"

Erica shook her head. "We can't jump to conclusions, Greenlee. The system might be at fault, but we're going to have to find the exact date & time this changed & see who was here that day," she said, already beginning to sort through the papers.
She looked at Greenlee & told her, "Either way, we'll find the person who did this & have them pay back all of the money that they owe, or we can get the system's creator to give Fusion the money they lost. That will help for some of the costs, right? Then we can decide what else Fusion needs to do to get back in the game. I will not let either of you lose this company," she promised, turning her head to start looking through the sheets again.
