I nodded and raised my eyes, asking, "Are you very busy lately?”
Theo sighed. "Didn't you see how busy I was?"
"As the boss of the company, you only need to think about whether to give the directors and managers a promotion. The promotion of grassroots employees should be the responsibility of their immediate supervisors. Now that everything is handed over to you, it's no wonder you're so busy."
Theo,
Seeing how strangely he was staring at me, I froze. "What’s wrong? Did I say anything wrong?"
"I'm afraid the list in your hand has already been screened. You don't need to look at this promotion list. All of them can be promoted."
I turned to the first page. Sure enough, these were grassroots employees who had been screened. This promotion list did not need to be screened again as all of them could be promoted.
"Don’t you think the header's too small?”
I felt very awkward. "You can’t blame me for not seeing it."
Did that mean that I had wasted the whole afternoon?
I was speechless!
Theo pulled me up from the chair and smiled slightly. "It's okay. Let’s go have our dinner. I’ll quickly look through this list when I get back."
I suspected that he did not want me to handle the promotion list in the first place. He just wanted me to accompany him until he got off work.
However, I could not criticize him as I had no evidence.
After leaving the office and entering the elevator with Theo, he pinned me against the elevator. "Aren't you going to reward me?"
Why should I reward him?
