“No, no, no! Mr. Lennon, I can assure you that things like this would not happen, ever!
“The culprits of the crime must be Charles’ subordinates!”
Mr. Schmidt tapped his chest as he guaranteed.
“If that’s so, sure thing, then.”
Sean Lennon nodded and stopped once he saw that things were different.
Mr. Schmidt sighed a long breath of relief in his heart.
“You! Take my car, send Mr. Lennon home.”
Mr. Schmidt immediately turned around and yelled out the door.
Sean was sent back by a private car.
It was almost like Sean went on a sightseeing trip at the government facility.
After Sean had left, everyone in the room had complicated feelings.
Especially the young man that was briefly acquainted with Sean, he was dazzled.
“Friggin’ awesome! This was friggin’ awesome!”
The young man was sure that Sean was something.
He just did not expect that Sean was something so extraordinary.
…
4 pm in the afternoon.
At Quinn Corporation’s subbranch, where Willow Quinn was at.
Today, Willow did not have much work, so she had a rare early clock-out.
These few days, since the subbranch had gotten financial assistance from Quill Zimmer, all its problems had been solved.
The cash flow was once again restored, making the atmosphere in the subbranch a refreshed, revitalized one.
After Willow packed up her things, she left the office quickly and was about to head home.
“Hey, did you hear? The only reason why our company could overcome our difficulties so quickly was all thanks to Young Master Zimmer!”
“Of course I’ve heard! Young Master Zimmer had been relentlessly pursuing our Director Quinn. Now that Director Quinn has accepted his assistance, I think accepting Young Master Zimmer himself should be next in line.”
“Didn’t Director Quinn have a fiancé? Y’know, that cripple.”
“What to do? He has no power, no money, so he would just have to watch his fiancée get taken away by someone else.”
“You’re right! If I were Director Quinn, I’d choose fresh roses and beautiful bouquets, and not choose to have to push a cripple around everywhere.”
The moment Willow walked out of her office, she had heard all this chatter immediately.
Once Willow was seen, the rest of the people shut up immediately and pretended that they were packing up to head home.
Willow stood where she was for a few seconds as she gritted her teeth softly.
“Stop the nonsense and stick to your jobs.
“If you don’t wanna be here, just go over to HR to collect your last paychecks.”
