"It's alright. We'll get through this together."
Vivian stepped forward and eased Finnick's furrowed brows and massaged his temples.
The head of department from the Human Resource knocked on Finnick's door. He was there to deliver the profiles of staff who had resigned.
The man went into the office after getting Finnick's permission.
He was greeted by the sight of a woman massaging Finnick's temples while a little boy was holding the president's hand.
However, the man was an experienced HR personnel after all. He did not say anything, nor did he try to steal glances at the peculiar sight before him.
After putting the documents on Finnick's desk, the man retreated himself quietly, closing the door behind him.
"Have you pinpointed the root cause?” Vivian continued to massage her husband's temples and asked.
"Not yet. Our biggest problem right now is we do not know what our problem is. That... is tricky."
Finnick was worried sick. He had always been prideful of his intelligence. However, after listening to the reports from his subordinates, he still could not seem to wrap his head around the root cause of the problem.
"Daddy, don't worry. Sometimes even big bosses are not aware of what is going on in their companies," said Larry as a thought popped into his mind.
"Why do you say so, Larry?” A brief glint fleeted across Finnick's mind at his son's remark, but he was still shy of a eureka moment.
"It's like us at the kindergarten. If one of us does a good thing, the teachers and Ms. Clark wouldn't know unless somebody told them."
The same thing applied not only in kindergartens, but in a lot of places as well.
However, it had never crossed Finnick's mind.
Then, the man turned to order Noah.
"Order all the departments to investigate what has gone wrong in our operations recently, and the feedback from our employees. I want a complete paper document on it. Do not give me emails or any other kinds of soft copy.” Finnick looked at his son with a prideful look on his face.
He was pleasantly surprised with his son coming up with the idea as even himself had not even thought of it.
