Some had already started to speculate who the boy beside Finnick was. Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar to all of them. Their guess was that he must be Finnick's son.
"What does everyone think about Peter Zborowski?" Finnick made sure to scrutinize their expressions as he did not want anything to elude him.
"About Peter..." It would seem that no one was really keen to talk about that man.
Nobody really liked him when he was around previously, so they wondered why Finnick was asking when they were finally rid of him.
That was what was bothering them, yet no one saw enough of it to speak up.
They were reluctant to speculate what might be on the president's mind, as even if the company was not doing too great at the moment, he was still a fearsome character.
"Do speak freely," Finnick added, as he was well aware of their hesitancy.
"Relax. I won't make things difficult for you." That left everyone quite surprised.
Whatever did he mean by that? In other words, they may be in for a torrid time should they choose to remain silent.
After they weighed up their options, they variously voiced their opinions.
"Peter's a menace to the Marketing Department."
"I don't like to socialize with him because his family's poor"
"He's little kooky.”
Finnick listened intently as they spoke.
It occurred to Finnick that Peter was generally not viewed in a positive light by his colleagues.
With that, Finnick departed from the Marketing Department. He concluded that there was nothing suspicious about Peter.
It was all about the money. The company's financial situation was not able to meet their needs, hence they packed up and left.
Though the company may be dealing with some problems at present, salaries were still being paid out in a timely fashion. To leave now would be tantamount to forsaking a concrete source of income.
For him to be so bold as to saunter off so unreservedly and without even tendering his resignation to Human Resource Department suggested that he might have some backing.
"Go and find out more about Peter," Finnick instructed Noah the moment he stepped into the office.
