Just then, Hilda went over to Jared, leaning pretty close to him. Noticing that they seemed very familiar with each other, Xavier queried with furrowed brows, “Who's that lady, Mr. Carlson?”
Zayne promptly cast his gaze over. When he realized that the man was referring to Hilda, he hurriedly replied, “That's Jared's girlfriend, Mr. Jennings. Her name is Hilda Wallace, and she has just started working here today.”
“Jared's girlfriend?” Surprise inundated Xavier.
Shocked at the man's reaction, Zayne nodded slowly. “Yes, she's his girlfriend.”
In the next instant, a sneer manifested on Xavier's face. “Find an opportunity and snap some intimate photos of them.
Remember to do it secretly and send them to me.
“Got it!” Zayne nodded.
Xavier then left in high spirits while Zayne wore a mystified look. I didn't know when he had such a kink.
“Jared, the person who presently owes our team the most money is Dexter Murphy. He owes nearly a million and hasn't made any repayment after two years. Several sales representatives went to collect the debt, but none succeeded. I heard that some were even beaten up!” Troy reported, pointing at a whole page of arrears on his computer as he sat at his desk.
Jared glanced at the time before he nodded and announced, “We'll start with him, then. If we go now, we'll be back in time for lunch!”
“Just the two of us?” Troy exclaimed in surprise.
“Of course! Are you thinking of going in a group?” Jared was startled.
Terrified, Troy explained with a conflicted expression, “Jared... Jared, it's rumored that the man used to be a gangster. He has now washed his hands of the underworld and started a company, but he still has quite a number of lackeys. We'll definitely suffer a beating if we go alone. Many of the sales representatives ended up with bruises, and
I even heard that a female sales representative who went over ended up pregnant.
“So, you're afraid?” Jared asked with solemnity etched on his face, his eyes boring into the man.
“I...” Troy did not quite know how to answer that. He was indeed afraid, for anyone would fear such a client.
“This is precisely the nature of your job. If you're afraid, then just quit. Sometimes, you never know whether you'll succeed if you don't try.”
Having said that, Jared printed Dexter's information out and strode out with it in his hand.
