She believed me.
A warm and fuzzy feeling crept over me. Even though I had started doubting myself, she was giving me courage.
It had been a long time since I worked in a job like this, and the courage I had back then had been reduced by half. Now, Sandra's statement was enough for me to be confident in my level of attention to detail.
"To be honest, I didn't want to bear the responsibility. I had checked everything multiple times, and such mistakes shouldn't be present," I said confidently.
Sandra gazed at me. A bright smile appeared as she said, "It would’ve been wonderful if you were this confident
during the meeting too.”
It turned out this was how she thought of me.
If I were still wary of her before this, all the wariness I had disappeared that instant
Since she believed in me, I was willing to trust her too.
"Thank you, Director Tyler."
Heartfelt thanks always sounded sincere, and Sandra seemed to sense my sincerity. Her smile grew even wider as she said, ' You're welcome. If it wasn't your fault, that means someone framed you. Do you have anyone you suspect?”
"I originally didn’t, but the way Queenie acted just now made me suspect her. I'm sure you feel the same way, Director Tyler." I had been working for so many years, and I was good at reading people.
I knew that one of the reasons Sandra trusted me was because there was someone she was suspicious of too.
Sandra smiled slightly as she said, "Yes, that's why I said what I said just now. No matter who's trying to frame you, they're aiming to get you kicked out of Grant Corporation. Since I said I wouldn't let you off as easily the next time, I’m sure they'll strike again."
She was so calm that she had even managed to lay down the foundations for future incidents. This made me admire Sandra even more.
