After Loraine left, Naomi immediately called Culver.
At that time, Culver was attending a group meeting of the company. In the meeting room, all employees from various departments were also present.
Moreover, someone was proposing that every new employee of the company should sign a solo contract.
The requirement of the contract was that the new employees who did not have boyfriends were not allowed to get into a relationship within the first two years of joining the company, and employees with boyfriends were not allowed to get pregnant within the same period of time!
If the requirement was not met, the company was allowed to dismiss them in accordance with the agreement.
When everyone heard of the proposal, they had many complaints, but Culver was right in front of them. Therefore, no one dared to say anything even if they felt angry.
Each and every one of them had terrible expressions on their faces.
At that moment, a phone rang.
The face of a senior female executive in her forties, who was proposing the agreement, suddenly sank.
"Who is it? Who didn't turn off their phones during such a critical meeting?"
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads to check. Everyone prayed that the phone call was not from their devices.
The female executive was even more terrifying than Culver. Not only did she act in a strict manner, but she was also extremely stubborn.
She was even more terrifying than any disciplinary teacher, especially when it came to relationships. Everyone suspected that she must have suffered some kind trauma from a past relationship, therefore she hated love a lot.
The nickname 'Cruella' had been given to her.
If they were to be caught by Cruella, they would be in deep trouble.
After a round of people checking their phones, the phone was still ringing. "Who is it? Get up!" Cruella raised her voice.
The next second, she saw Culver silently rise from his seat.
"Sorry, it's me."
Cruella's face suddenly turned pale, as if she had swallowed a fly. She said anxiously, "Mr. Olsen, you..."
"There's no need to apologize. This is my fault. Carry on."
Culver looked at the number and rejected the call, then turned off his phone.
As the discussion went on, a young girl, who seemed to be quite young, was anxious as she saw that the proposal was about to be passed.
"Does everyone in the company have to abide by this rule?"
"Yes!" Cruella nodded before saying, "Of course! I'll set an example myself!"
The crowd rolled their eyes in their hearts. They all thought to themselves, "Even if you wanted to violate the rules, you would need to find someone that wants to be with you in the first place!"
"What about the president?" the girl boldly asked. Since she was young, she must feel that love was an important aspect of life.
How many years were left in one's life?
As soon as she came up with that question, other people with their personal opinions immediately followed.
"That's right! What about the president?"
Cruella froze and said, "The president isn't an employee!"
"This isn't fair! As long as we're in the Olsen Group, we are considered as a member of the company. That was what you said last time!"
Culver stood up.
She said, "You're right, I'm also a member of the company. Therefore, I'm the same as all of you, and I shall abide by the rules. Within two years, I won't get married and have children! If I can't do it, I'll apologize to everyone in front of the whole company, and I'll take out my salary for the whole year to buy insurance for everyone!"
Everyone knew that a successful person like Culver would be ruthless towards himself. However, did he need to go so far?
Since he had already said so, who else would dare to object?
That was how the matter came to an end.
After Culver hung up on Naomi's call, she called back again, but the phone was turned off before she could get through.
At that moment, she sat there, repeatedly looking at her phone and despising Culver in her heart. She seriously suspected that Culver was not only an egomaniac, but was also a freak.
He must have known what she was thinking about, therefore he did not answer the phone.
While Naomi was cursing Culver in her heart, she did not even notice that Culver's phone was turned on again.
By the time she realized that, she expressed her contempt for Culver directly through the connected call.
"Culver, you big freak!"
