Patrick glanced at Lisa with a light look in his eyes, indicating that he wasn't irritated by her words at all.
The look in his eyes indicated that he seemed to be enjoying a show.
I could understand what the look in his eyes meant. Lisa surely got his point as well. She said angrily, "Mr. Cowell, I respect you. But I will insist on speaking up for my people. Mabel is a strong subordinate of mine. If I don't stand up for her, who will?"
I admired Lisa.
I sincerely admired Lisa.
And I could understand why she would did so. She believed in Mabel whole- heartedly, which was the reason why she looked so confident here.
On the contrary, Mabe's face was pale. And her expression was unnatural. She stood behind Lisa and looked around.
Her actions clearly showed that she was guilty.
Patrick looked at her and paused for a moment before asking, "Then what are you
going to do?"
Lisa said in a clear and logical way, "Fire her." Lisa added, "Since we belong to Towering High Group, we can't afford to see the whole group being ruined because of a shameless person. If you have an affair with her, Mr. Cowell, let her stay at home. Don't let her harm the whole group."
After she said that, some of the managers next to her couldn't help nodding.
Hearing her words, I felt that these words sounded a little familiar.
Someone once had said something similar to Seth...
Mabel was a little nervous on the side. But now, Lisa was actively helping her overthrow Patrick's testify.
She began to relax a little and echoed, "Yes, we are a group."
I looked at Lisa and asked her, "Do you trust her so much?"
"Of course." Lisa rolled her eyes at me as her eyes were full of contempt. She snorted and said, "Mabel has been with me for several years. I know her very well. Although you aren't here for long, I have heard some things about you."
For a moment, we were in a stalemate.
I, Patrick, Lisa, and Mabel were confronting each other.
We didn't say anything. And others dared not to say anything.
Especially Patrick was here. Although everyone had some ideas in their hearts, they dared not to jump to a conclusion.
However, Lisa still said, "Mr. Cowell, the result is out now. If there's nothing else, well leave first."
Patrick looked at me and asked, "What are you going to do?"
I didn't know what I should do.
What could I do?
I couldn't prove that this painting was mine.
Even without Patrick's approval, Lisa planned to leave with her people.
"I can follow behind you like a shadow following the light in a daze..."
Before they could arrive at the door, my cell phone rang.
It was Seth who was calling me.
As soon as I picked up the call, I heard Seth asking me, "Are you in the conference room?"
"Yes."
"OK, let them hold on. Then send a video call request to me and monitor my computer in a remote-control mode."
After finishing his words, Seth hung up the phone.
Although I didn't know what he was going to do, I felt inexplicably confident in my heart. Looking at Lisa and Mabel who were both standing at the door, watching me hang up the phone, and planning to leave, I said, "Mrs. Emerson, Miss. Hyde, please wait for a moment."
Mabel said, "Charlotte Archer, our time is precious."
At this time, she had already confirmed that I could no longer find any other evidence. When she spoke, she was full of energy.
