"I think we should just brush it aside for today." I did not answer her words.
These women had a common problem.
They were as obedient as sheep in front of Theo, but as soon as Theo had his back turned, they became as prideful as lions.
I still remembered her arrogance the last time she saw me. Now, she was playing nice in front of Theo, which I did not want to deal with.
"I see that everyone is already tired today. Now, there's the problem of paperwork.
Why don't we just stop here today and all go back and rest?"
My words were commanding, leaving no room for negotiation.
In fact, Theo also knew very well that my purpose was only to ask Ruby to leave.
If possible, I also wanted to take Theo back to rest, but it depended on whether Theo was willing to.
I did not expect this Ruby to not back down but insist on carrying on to the end.
"Mrs. Grant, you're too kind, but the business field is like a battlefield. No matter how kind you are, you won't be able to win that way."
Ruby, like last time, still blamed me for all the problems.
"Now that the files are gone, we're behind schedule. If we take another break tonight, we'll be exponentially behind."
She looked pitifully at Theo, then at me. It was as if she was heartbroken that Theo had such an unintelligent wife as me.
