After a moment's hesitation, Adolf said, "To be honest, this has happened before, Miss Turner. Some employees just have outstanding performance, and our company offers them the right opportunity and rewards to help them grow."
His statement irked Charis. "Pierce, I'm not asking for your opinion."
Adolf had been working in the Larson Group for many years, so he could tell Charis was up to something. It was most likely the employee had offended her.
Noticing his hesitation, Charis reminded him, "I helped you once when I was abroad. You owe me a favor."
Adolf was rendered speechless. He was indebted to Charis. Besides, she had made a great contribution to the Larson Group. Although she wasn't as powerful as Brandon and Garrett, she, too, held a significant position in the company. Therefore, Adolf didn't dare to offend her.
"Yes, Miss Turner. I'll take care of this." Adolf sensed something was wrong, but he had no choice but to listen to Charis.
He sighed and went to meet Tiffany.
Tiffany was reviewing the latest design drafts in her office. Her eyes widened when she saw Adolf. "Mr. Pierce, you can give me a call if you need anything. Why take the trouble of coming all the way here to see me?"
She had already reported to Adolf, and he could summon her to his office if he wanted to say anything. Tiffany couldn't understand why he was here.
"I just had lunch, so I thought of dropping by your office on my way back. Well, I heard something this morning and wanted to know more about it." Adolf pulled out a chair and sat opposite Tiffany.
It would be too formal and conspicuous to call Tiffany to his office, so he decided to come and meet her in person.
Tiffany studied his face for a moment and nodded earnestly. "Sure. What do you want to talk about?"
